A financial analyst by day and an experienced investor by passion, I have been involved in the world of investing for over 15 years and have honed my skills in analyzing profitable opportunities within the market. I specialize in uncovering high-quality dividend stocks and other assets that offer long-term growth potential and that provide a boost to the potential to pay the bills. I use myself as an example that with a solid base of classic dividend growth stocks, sprinkling in some REITs and closed-end funds can be a very effective way to boost your investment income while still getting a total return that follows traditional index funds. I created a hybrid system between growth and income and was able to get a total return on par with the S&P.
