Show notes

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Steve Selengut. Also known as The Income Coach. Here's a detailed summary of the episode: 🎙️ Guest: Steve Selengut Veteran private investment manager with over 40 years of experience. Author of Retirement Money Secrets, his second book. Focuses on helping people achieve income independence through smart investing. Runs an educational income investing community. 📘 About the Book: Retirement Money Secrets Written as a conversational story about a couple on a river cruise who learn about a different approach to retirement investing. Emphasizes common sense financial strategies over complex jargon. Focuses on closed-end funds as a key investment tool. 💡 Key Concepts Discussed 🔒 Closed-End Funds (CEFs) One of the oldest investment vehicles, dating back to the 1800s. Structured as pass-through trusts that must return 95% of earnings to shareholders. Focused on income generation rather than capital appreciation. Can invest in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and ETFs. 🔥 FIRE Movement Stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early. Steve aligns more with generating sustainable income than early retirement per se. 🎯 Income Independence The goal is to generate enough income from investments to replace employment income. Allows flexibility to retire, start a business, or pursue other passions. 🛡️ The Four Risk Minimizers Quality: Invest only in what you understand and in companies with a proven track record. Diversification: Spread investments across sectors, geographies, and management firms. Income: Only invest in securities that pay dividends or interest. Profit-Taking Discipline: Set target profits (e.g., 5%) and sell when reached, reinvesting gains. 💬 Common Sense Investing Tips Buy stocks in companies you use or understand (e.g., Home Depot, Apple, Chipotle). Use tools like Yahoo Finance or CEFConnect.com to research dividend history and fund performance. Avoid speculative or zero-income investments. Treat your portfolio like a retail store—sell when profitable and restock wisely. 🌐 Connect with Steve Selengut Available on Facebook and LinkedIn.
