INVESTMENT QUALITY TRENDS This newsletter is more than 40 years old, with only two editors the whole time. It is extremely clear in its philosophy and methodology (true blue-chip dividend-paying stocks) and uses hype-free language. It has an actual track record and has consistently scored as one of Hulbert’s top performing risk adjusted newsletters. And, blessedly, it only runs ONE newsletter and does not junk up your mailbox with solicitations for endless sub-newsletters!

This newsletter has a sterling track record. However, no one can predict Black Swan events and you can have a bad year once in a while. This is where reverse index ETF’s come in handy.

Although this investment letter has done well in the past, since late 2018 it has been the fastest way to lose money I’ve seen in thirty years of investing dividend stocks. Recent recommendations of ABBV and PM have both lost greater than 10% of their value in less than a month after their strong buy recommendations. I would avoid this newsletter unless you need to lose money and quickly.
You sound like somebody trying to make a quick buck. Look at their LONG TERM track record. Undeniable. This obviously isn’t for you. I used to think the way you are thinking and got nowhere fast.
