INSIGHT

Dividends Don't Equal Good Stocks

  • A high dividend alone doesn't make a stock a good investment because price declines can erase income gains.
  • Always evaluate the underlying asset quality, valuation, and business trajectory before buying for yield.
ADVICE

Research Before Headlines

  • Do your own research and invest before stories hit headlines instead of chasing hot stocks after the surge.
  • Use data and proactive analysis to find opportunities ahead of mainstream attention.
ADVICE

Clear High-Interest Debt First

  • Pay off high-interest debt before investing because credit card APRs often exceed average market returns.
  • Eliminate those '100 pound chains' so your investment gains aren't offset by interest costs.
