Dividend Gambit is an investment newsletter service founded by long-time financial writer, stock analyst, and dividend guru, Mathew Emmert. As the title implies, this service focuses exclusively on dividend-paying stocks, which numerous studies have found to be superior long-term investments. Whether reviewing the last 20 years or the last 100, these companies have outperformed the overall stock market by a considerable margin. And Mathew recommends only the best among this venerable group.

A Real-Time Approach

Unlike most investment newsletters, Dividend Gambit is not simply a "stock listing" service that recommends an arbitrary number of picks once or twice per month. Instead, this is truly a real-time service managed like an individual portfolio. This means that subscribers receive real-time buy and sell alerts during the month. This approach has proven superior because it makes it easier for subscribers to actually employ the guidance they receive, and in a timely fashion.

Subscriber Benefits

Subscribers of Dividend Gambit receive 12 monthly newsletter issues delivered straight to their inbox. Each electronic issue contains thoroughly vetted investment research and recommendations, as well as insightful market commentary. Subscribers also receive real-time buy or sell alerts throughout the month, regular updates on all recommendations, value-added special reports, detailed tracking of the model portfolio, and a subscriber-only discussion forum where subscribers can interact with Mathew and fellow readers. We even host live Q&A sessions in which Mathew answers investment questions one on one!
