[Stansberry Master Series] Editor's note: Income investing isn't as scary as it seems... With the volatility we've seen in the markets over the past few years, investors have been keeping their money on the sidelines for fear of erasing their hard-earned gains. But this ongoing uncertainty doesn't mean you can't find ways to profit... According to Income Intelligence editor Dr. David "Doc" Eifrig, understanding the guidelines of income investing could help you uncover great opportunities – no matter what's happening in the stock market. In today's Masters Series, adapted from the April 17 issue of Doc's free Health & Wealth Bulletin e-letter, he explains why more investors should embrace income investing... reveals his top method for succeeding as an income investor... and details how you can apply this strategy to today's chaotic market... --------------------------------------------------------------- My No. 1 Timeless Rule for Income Investing By Dr. David Eifrig, editor, Income Intelligence Income investing intimidates some investors... But it shouldn't. Despite what folks think, income investing is actually easier than picking growth stocks or trading options, once you know how to do it... due to the stability and long-term focus of income investments. I worked on Wall Street for a decade helping investors manage risk. I was on one of the elite trading desks at Goldman Sachs. After that, I went to medical school and became a board-eligible eye surgeon. All the while, I've been semi-retired and using my savings to produce income to live and invest. But in 2008, I launched my first newsletter with Stansberry Research, which let me share my investing ideas and help my readers live a healthy and wealthy retirement. That's because I love helping readers of various backgrounds generate wealth and be healthy. Learning finance and medicine from the inside showed me how easily I could help empower people. During the past few years, I've figured out what keeps people from proper income investing. It requires initiative and effort to take control of your financial future. But even once you understand that, investors – and income investors in particular – still tend to get sidetracked. Most new investors learn the basics of how stocks work. For income investing, that's not enough... --------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Link: [The $10 Million Retirement Secret?]( There's a dead-simple and extremely lucrative way to make high inflation, high interest rates, and a choppy economy work to YOUR advantage. It may be the ONE strategy that could pay you 14% or more today with little risk... set you up for long-term income streams as high as 29% per year... plus provide HUGE capital gains. Backtesting even shows this could have added an extraordinary $10 MILLION to your bottom line with an initial $100K nest egg. [Click here for the details](.
--------------------------------------------------------------- To be a complete income investor, you can't limit yourself to just dividend-paying stocks. You need to diversify your portfolio with bonds, real estate investment trusts, master limited partnerships, exchange-traded funds, annuities, and certificates of deposit, to name a few. But no matter what you're buying, if there's one thing income investors should constantly remember, it's to buy value. By that, I mean you should always pay a fair price for what something is worth. It seems simple... But it's the first thing investors forget. The latest hot stock tip or brand-new technology story can quickly push a stock's valuation into the atmosphere. Value investing is one of the greatest investing strategies of all time. The father of modern investing analysis, Benjamin Graham, first published his book Security Analysis in 1934. The book discussed buying stocks with low price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios and low price-to-book (P/B) ratios. Graham's ideas have been tested and proven to be profitable by dozens of academic studies. They even helped to make superinvestor Warren Buffett his fortune. In 1949, Graham published The Intelligent Investor. In it, he explained why you should only buy stocks when their P/E ratios are less than 15 and their P/B ratios are less than 1.5. That strategy has also been proven successful over the years. But I don't subscribe to any hard-and-fast rule. P/E ratios don't always apply to exactly what we're investing in. And markets change... so we can't count on one single number for the rest of time. The one rule you should follow for every investment you make is to write down a compelling argument for why it's undervalued. Maybe the stock is cheaper than its competitors... or the market as a whole. Maybe it has a better product than its competitors. But whatever your reasoning is, you should force yourself to do this exercise every time. That will keep you away from investing in popular, overvalued stocks. If you've ever thought of becoming an income investor, now is the time to start. My team and I believe we are approaching a new enlightenment for income investors. Yields are up across the board. There is a lot of safe income to be made, and we want a piece of it... Here's to our health, wealth, and a great retirement, Dr. David Eifrig --------------------------------------------------------------- Editor's note: If you don't understand how to make this market work for you, you're going to get badly burned. If you've never understood interest rates... inflation... or the Federal Reserve... and why they all matter – you will after you watch Doc's recent online presentation. In it, he revealed the market's "best-kept secret" – a simple way for you to take the worry out of your investing and get paid.
