As last as August it was difficult finding many dividend stocks “on sale” but September delivered a few. There’s no telling if October will be as volatile September, so keep an eye on your inbox each week for Tim’s Stock of the Week email with the new best value in dividend stocks. If you have been reading my articles and newsletters for a while, you know that I don't try to predict (guess) the direction of stock prices. One purpose of the Dividend Hunter high-yield strategy is to take much of the share price prediction process out of our investment decisions. Over the long term (years), I expect the Dividend Hunter to return the average 8% yield plus a small amount from dividend growth. Reinvesting all or a portion of your dividend income can significantly boost this average annual total return number. In a recent weekly newsletter, the widely followed economist Steve Blumenthal shared some longer-term stock market predictions from major financial institutions, which I am including below. "Vanguard’s 10-year return forecast predicts U.S. stocks will return 2.40% to 4.4%, and U.S. bonds will return 1.40% to 2.40%.” “GMO’s 7-Year Asset Class Real Return Forecast is more somber.

seven years means your $100,000 is worth $54,941 in September 2028. Not a good outcome. And you can see returns are negative for all asset classes except for emerging market value stocks.”
In recent years, stock market investors have become used to 20% annual returns.
This level of stock market returns is more than double the long-term historical
average. The predictions shown above are likely the mathematical results of
calculating a reversion to the mean.
If the U.S. stock market returns do post lower returns, in the low single-digit to
negative range, over the next decade, many investors will not hit their savings and
investment goals. If the projections turn out to be accurate, we will be pleased
with the market-beating returns from the Dividend Hunter portfolio.
More importantly, the Dividend Hunter strategy's 8% annual cash returns give you
a much more stable outlook on which to plan your financial future.

Our journey into individual preferred stock shares has produced a lot of questions about
actually buying these shares. Unlike regular stock shares, each broker uses its own
format for preferred shares.
Below is a listing of how different brokers will show preferred shares. You can also use
the symbol lookup function. Enter the regular stock symbol, such as NRZ, and you will
get a list of related securities. Pick the one that looks like preferred shares. You will get
the full name after you select the symbol.
To help you out, here the format for NRZ preferred A on the different brokerage
websites:
TD Ameritrade: NRZ-A
E-Trade: NRZ.PR.A
Fidelity: NRZ/PA or NRZPRA (yes, they use both)
Firstrade: NRZ.PR.A
Interactive Brokers: NRZ PRA
Merrill Lynch: NRZPRA
Schwab: NRZ/PRA
ThinkorSwim: NRZpA
TradeStation: NRZ.PA
T.Rowe Price: NRZ.PRA
Vanguard: NRZ PRA
Wells Fargo: NRZ.A
Note: These formats may not be hard and fast.
I have heard from subscribers that Fidelity treats different preferred stocks differently.
With some, you have to call in and place a trade over the phone—at least a first trade
for the shares. Subscribers have told me this is the case for NRZ/PA. There are other
preferreds that you can buy using the regular online trading system. I purchased some
preferred stock shares this way.
