TOPIC 2: Dividend Investing: A Personal Journey
Andy Prophet, Long-Time AAII Member & Income SIG Leader of AAII Portland Chapter
Join us in a sharp departure from traditional investing to learn about investing for a steady income stream. Andy will walk through common tools and techniques to build and manage a portfolio. Since most AAII members are self-directed investors near or in retirement, learning how to set up a portfolio, minimize risk and grow income can be critical to a comfortable retirement. This presentation is a personal journey in managing a dividend Income portfolio and exploring guidelines for managing risk.
Andy Prophet is a long-time student of investing, a retiree and a member of AAII for over 30 years. Before retiring and moving to Portland, he was a member of our chapter board and presented and organized income investing programs for our chapter. He has been on a 18-year journey to build a steady growing stream of dividend stocks. To help, he draws on his management experience in business and engineering to construct a plan. By sharing this personal endeavor, he hopes to educate our membership on how he uses dividends for retirement income. Prophet spent 45 years in the high-tech industry, first as a design engineer and later as a senior manager. His final position was as the executive director of a trade association. He holds an MBA and advanced degrees in electrical engineering.
