Lt. Governor Howie MoralesFrom the first day of our administration, Gov.

I think it makes more sense to take a rational approach to investing based on things that seem to have a decent chance of happening, rather than on events that could pay off massively but in reality only have a small chance of coming to fruition. So, as I aim for a million over the long term in…

Image source: Getty Images There are plenty of dividend shares around at the moment. I reckon 83 stocks on the FTSE 350 are presently offering yields in excess of 5%.

After my Dec. 13 Plain Dealer commentary, “It’s never too early (or too late) to invest for your future — a brief guide for young investors,” It’s never too early (or too late) to invest for your future.
