Robert: (01:09)Hey, thanks for having me on Eugene. Good to be here. Maybe you could tell our audience a little bit more about what incomeinvestors.com is and what you’re working on with with that right now.
Robert: (01:19)Alright. Yeah. Income Investors.com is a project that I spun off with during my time working with Lombardi Publishing. One of the things that we noticed right away is, you know, with interest rates so low right now with a lot of people are struggling to generate a anywhere near decent investment income from their portfolio. And, and that, that became a big part of what I was looking at when I’m through across my investment career, kind of noticing companies that, you know, paying out dependable dividends steady growth, you know, seem to be the ones that we’re, we’re doing the best performance and doing the best job for shareholders. And that became kind of the focus of my investment research kind of the stuff that I wanted to, to focus on. So working with my business partner, Michael Lombardi we decided to create this project.
