I read his first two books, but I feel fortunate not to have followed his teachings blindly as so many appear to have done. One thing I really enjoyed in the article was the idea of no company being recession PROOF. Simply recession resistant.

The big problem with Derek is that he seems to have started a career of a financial educator/book writer as opposed to a retiree living off dividends and passive income. Other than that his first book has some pretty neat content. Dividend Growth Investor Nice interview.

He has his own little bank at home in which he keeps currency from dozens of countries, he has his own savings account in which he follows and deposits funds. I want to investigate the possibility of investing directly in blue chip companies. What do you suggest for a 6 yr old? I want to incorporate a 'fun' factor, something to get him really excited about it .... more so than he already is. Looking forward to your insight, Regards, Eric Leclair How do i contact Derek Foster? Hello,

My thoughts on your situation would be, it is likely not a good idea to follow Derek's plan exactly. Owning some dividend paying stocks isn't a bad idea, but if you don't know much about finance I would first bring up the idea with your adviser to see if works with what you are already doing.

I am 61 years old, widowed , retired and on a fixed income. I have a few RRSPS and some non-registered investments(handled by an advisor in a big financial company).I know little about finance. Does your strategy apply too someone my age? I enjoyed your book immensely.but it seems geared to young people . I am 61 years old, widowed , retired and on a fixed income.

At age 18 she is on the threshold of being sought after by credit card companies, cell phone suppliers and the like. I am greatly dissapointed that I have not found any investment firms that offer seminars geared to this age group to help aid in their financial development. Do you have an e-mail address so that I can contact Mr. Foster directly to see if he offers any such course/seminar?
