Bill Spetrino is the editor of Newsmax’s advisory service
The Dividend Machine. Bill’s goal with
The Dividend Machine is to show the average investor how they can generate a substantial monthly income by investing in high-quality dividend-paying companies.
A native of Cleveland, Ohio,
Bill Spetrino graduated from John Carroll University with a degree in accounting. Bill’s wife is a CPA, and he assisted her in her private accounting and tax planning practice.
It was during this time that
Bill Spetrino began studying the investing philosophies of some of the world’s greatest investors, including Warren Buffett and Sir John Templeton.
By learning, and then implementing, the lessons of these great investors,
Bill Spetrino has been able to build a truly impressive investment portfolio of his own.
By living frugally, saving 25% of everything he made, and investing that money into blue-chip dividend stocks,
Bill Spetrino was able to retire by the age of 42 and live solely off the income generated by his personal “dividend machine.”
In The Dividend Machine newsletter, Spetrino brings you all of his knowledge and experience identifying the strongest dividend-paying companies in the financial world. He shares this information to help members build their own “dividend machine” and enjoy the investing success he has experienced over the past 20 years.
Bill Spetrino says the true key to wealth in stock market investments is compounding of dividend payments. He points to research done by Wharton School scholar Jeremy Siegel, which revealed that investors have the best long-term results by purchasing stocks that pay dividends and reinvesting the dividends back into the stocks.
Bill’s personal track record is a testament to this belief. During the supposed “lost decade” of 2000-2010 in which the Dow shot wildly up and down, just to land in about the same spot where it began, Bill’s personal portfolio was at 19%, compounding annually.
In The Dividend Machine, Bill Spetrino targets companies that raise their dividend by 6% to 8% annually. Your bank or bond underwriter will never do that for you with your CDs or fixed-income securities.
That’s why Bill says creating a “dividend machine” of your own can make you super-wealthy: Your income rises, your stock appreciates, and you get a huge tax benefit.
Above all, what Bill Spetrino stresses with The Dividend Machine is to play it safe. He aims for singles and doubles, and avoids strikeouts at all costs.
And over time, despite defying “conventional wisdom,” he’s compiled a winning percentage that’s the envy of investment managers everywhere — The Dividend Machine Conservative Portfolio was ranked No. 1 among model portfolios with very low risk over the past year, according to the respected Hulbert Financial Digest.
