Creating Passive Income
The secret to creating passive income isn’t about hitting “home runs”, but rather is about learning to consistently make base hits, over and over again. This style of trading works well for Allen’s temperament, since he wants to keep his stress level as low as possible.
Selecting Companies
For Allen, selecting stocks to purchase isn’t really rocket science. He suggests looking for big name companies that you are a customer of yourself, or companies with which you are already familiar. If the company offers good dividends they are usually cash-flow positive, and therefore a good company to invest in.
Time To Dump That Stock
As a general rule, Allen Sama buys and holds his stocks for years. If the underlying fundamentals of a company change, that’s when it’s time to sell the shares. Allen looks for things like: a CEO leaves or dies, employee lay-offs, cutting dividends, closing stores, or not expanding. .
