Episode notes

Many retirees say they're not comfortable with too much of their portfolio on stocks. But to be more accurate, stock prices are volatile. Dividends actually can be remarkably reliable. The average decline across those nine years was just 5.3% in the dividend payouts.

One key ingredient in Warren Buffett’s “Secret Sauce” is stocks that pay a dividend, but then you’ve got to let them simmer for a very long time.

(00:21) Jim Gillies and Ricky Mulvey discuss: - Walgreens Boot Alliance’s disappointing 3rd quarter. - The pharmacy chain’s turnaround story. - What to look for in investor presentations. - Why investors are cheering Brookfield’s $4.3 billion bid for life insurance company, American Equity.

Plus, (11:54) Robert Brokamp and Matt Argersinger discuss the fundamentals and tradeoffs of owning dividend payers.
