I learned a lot in the month of April as well, and I want to share it with you today.  I am either excited to tell you or sorry to tell you that this week's Dividend Cafe is the longest one I have ever written, but also the most important one I have ever written.  The length of it is just simply because of the sheer ambition of all I am trying to cover this week.  There are some investment opportunities that have been created out of these last two months that warrant the attention I have given them this week.  But there also are lessons learned and principles reinforced that I am excited to share.
