Roger S. Conrad

Utilities Markets Analysis and Canadian Trusts

Roger Conrad has devoted 25 years of his professional investing life to finding safe and solid investments that give investors the best of both worlds: the rush of capital growth and the juggernaut compounding power of non-stop income and dividends.

He answers his own phone. Replies to all his emails. Takes time with investors, whether or not they’re subscribers to Utility Forecaster, and makes sure their questions are fully answered.

In other words, he’s a guy you’d want as a friend, and nothing like what you’d picture of the man described by the nation’s foremost dividend investing expert as “almost always right.”

Lowell Miller, manager of a billion-dollar fund and author of one of the best investing books ever written, The Single Best Investment, is a tough critic, saying, “I don’t think much of newsletters in general; many of their writers don’t seem to be qualified to hold a regular job, much less give investment advice!  But Utility Forecaster is written by a hard-working, independent thinker who makes my job easier.”

Which is exactly what Roger sets out to do — make every investor’s job easier. And not just your job, but your life too.

Out of the thousands of newsletter Hulbert Digest follows, Mark Hulbert listed Roger Conrad's Utility Forecaster on the 2010 Newsletter Honor Roll for having above average returns in both up and down markets.

 And, think how much easier your life would be with returns of 12.8% a year, year after year.

Subscriber Gisela Connelly calls Roger her “guiding light.”

Chuck Beeler says, “I have always appreciated your wisdom. I have taken your advice over seven years now and it did help me tremendously taking care of my mom…. My mom received the best of care and I couldn’t of done it without your help…. I just wanted to let you know how much you helped my mom.”

Barbara Mayers Keller says, “You have so much good information and knowledge and it is incredible that you can find the time to answer so many people’s questions! You are amazing and I am so very grateful.”

And Charles Ego says, “You are my friend for life.”

"Roger Conrad is one of the few PROFESSIONAL investment grade advisors in North America, and possibly well beyond these shores." John D. MachLachlan

I just renewed...  Keep that good information coming.  You've made me money this year.  Happy New Year-- Jim Heslin, 2009
