Everyone has heard of Warren Buffett but not as many people are familiar with the man who taught him how to invest.   Benjamin Graham taught Buffett that the basic difference between investors and speculators lies in their attitudes towards stock pricing.  The speculator, noted Graham, tries to anticipate and profit from price changes—trying to time their buys, and time their sells.   On the contrary, the INVESTOR takes a longer view. His only goal is to acquire high quality companies at reasonable prices.  Today, we'll review what Graham taught Buffett that Buffett admits he has never forgotten, and uses to this day. Then Steve will review the Black Diamond Dividend Growth and Blue Diamond Technology Leaders portfolios.  A great show you don't want to miss....MASTERING MONEY  is on the air!!!

Secretly, we all want our investments to be “up” all the time so we can feel good, but in order to really grow wealth, buying more shares while markets are down is actually a better way to win with your investments.   All investors have one common goal in mind: to get the most return they possibly can, for the least amount of risk. Every experienced investor who has actually made money over time knows that no investment will be “up” 24/7. It has to be down sometimes, and that presents opportunity! On today's show, we'll dig into a strategy that can grow wealth whether markets are up or down, and works automatically even if you're out on the golf course. Then health insurance expert Shelley Grandidge joins us. You don't want to miss today's show ...MASTERING MONEY is on the air!

One of the simplest ways for companies to communicate financial well-being and shareholder value is to say "the dividend check is in the mail." Dividends, those cash distributions that many companies pay out regularly from their earnings to their stockholders, send a clear, powerful message about future prospects and performance.  A company's willingness and ability to pay steady dividends over time – and better yet--its power to INCREASE them each year–goes a long way towards communicating its fundamental strength and sustainability to shareholders.  Then, insurance and Medicare expert Shelley Grandidge joins us for the Q & A.
