Today, we'll reveal key methods of selecting winning dividend stocks to help you invest better. Then, insurance and Medicare expert Shelley Grandidge joins us for the Q & A.

One of these days, Joe Biden will emerge from his cave more than once a week to attempt to lay out his actual positions and policies on things that really matter to Americans.  This week he dropped  a bomb. He has guaranteed to raise taxes on corporations and individuals if elected. Biden seems to do ok when he sticks with a well-rehearsed set of talking points on teleprompters--but in the real world, he will at some point be forced to come to grips with his opinions on street violence, damage and destruction, rising crime, and the defunding of police. And when he does, his bosses on the left--like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez-- won’t like it.  Trump’s position is quite clear. He's going to run on Law and Order and supporting the police. Today, we'll examine the effects of raising taxes on corporations and the chain of events it would touch off, and it may shock you! Get the market intel you need to become a better investor.

For more than eight decades, the Social Security program has played a critical role in providing a financial foundation for our nation's retired workers. Most people  build their  long term retirement plan around the certainty of a steady check from Social Security.    According to the Centers for Budget and Policy Priorities, the system singlehandedly pulls more than 15 million retirees out of poverty every year. It’s safe to say that without it, our nation would be in a constant state of recession.  Which is why it is alarming that the program faces serious financial hurdles in the years ahead. In fact, due to the COVID 19 Pandemic, the Social Security retirement fund could face depletion as early as 2030, jut ten short years from now. Steve and I will review the details and the facts.

Many retired investors today are hoping, waiting, and praying for interest rates on bonds to go up so they can retire in safety.
