My success has come because I am a very curious person who doesn&#8217;t just follow the herd and trust whatever the experts tell us to believe. I do my own research. I collect the facts, look at them objectively, and draw my own conclusions. Over the years, I have been amazed at how much of what everybody &#8220;knows to be true&#8221; is based on poorly designed studies, many of them impossible to replicate.  I approach Investing with the same open mind, challenging the orthodoxies that attract the herd, studying how things really work, and doing my best to come up with an approach, based on facts, that works for me and would appeal to those who find thinking worthwhile.Since rates have risen from their QE lows I have gotten back into investing in fixed income to supply a reliable income stream. Only when the valuations of dividend stocks retreat to more reasonable levels and the dividends they pay are significantly better than those available from Treasuries or Munis will I reconsider dividend stocks as an income solution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-test-id=\"content-container\">\n<p id=\"a-disclosure\"><b>Analyst\u2019s Disclosure:<\/b><span>I\/we have a beneficial long position in the shares of VOO, VTI either through stock ownership, options, or other derivatives.<\/span><span id=\"top-business-disclosure\"> I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions.
