SHOUT OUT CRITERIA

Thanks for the shot out! Happy to have you in the community. Going to be a great 2018. Also, the Diplomats are cheating, there are 2 of them so more comments haha.
Hi Mr. Daze. You are welcome. I’m not sure those Diplomats ever sleep! Tom
Thank you Tom! What a great idea for a post and we really appreciate your readership on our blog. We are planning to do a weekly wrap up type of post featuring our favorite reads for the week. Just a way to reciprocate and give attention to other awesome bloggers out there. Stay tuned! 🙂
You are welcome Mr. DS. I love your site. It covers a unique niche and does so in such an interesting manner. Talk again soon sir, Tom
Hi Tom, great post and thank you for including me! As always I enjoy your posts and I will continue responding to your posts! 🙂
Hi Mr. Robot. You are welcome. Stop by anytime my friend. Happy investing. Tom
Thanks for the shout-out, Tom – greatly appreciated!
Your site continues to keep the community intrigued, so thanks for continuing to share your thoughts.
A blog roll is a really useful idea as well; I’m seeing it on other sites and it is great to easily be able to find helpful content.
Meant to ask as well – how do you like the magazine pro theme? I’m just on the sample Genesis framework from studio press, but I’m looking around at other genesis-based themes.
Thanks again.
Sorry meant the news pro theme
Hi Mike,
You are welcome! Interesting that you mention a blog roll. I do have a good reads page that highlights 5 sites I’m reading that I update and change periodically. It’s actually due for an update. One of my goals for 2018 is to have a more expansive blog roll too. More to come on that.
Regarding the news pro theme. I do like it, however it didn’t turn out as I envisioned it and how studio press demos it. My vision for the site was sort of a personal finance and investing newsletter. When I started customizing the site I was just lost and clueless since I had never done it before. I also wanted 2 sidebars, one on each side, and I don’t think you can use the traditional “news pro look” and have 2 sidebars. So I ended up with what I think is a very traditional looking blog, which is okay. Primarily, I wanted a nice clean professional but colorful looking site with easy navigation and I think I accomplished those things with news pro. I looked closely at magazine pro. In fact I think I started with mag pro and then switched to news pro. They are very similar.
Thanks for your contributions and comments Mike.
Tom
Hi Tom – to follow-up re: the site themes, yesterday I purchased StudioPress’ Smart Passive Income Pro Theme. Not only is the name fitting, I spent a lot of time looking around for what you highlighted: a nice clean professional but colorful looking site with easy navigation.
I’m still messing around with the site, but it has some nice out of the box features, still runs on the Genesis framework, and has a few more customized options (at least vs. the basic Genesis template I first used when I launched the site back in August)..
– Mike
Hi Mike, That is quite a name for the theme. I saw the site this morning and I like how it looks. Tom
Hi Tom, Excellent links and thank you for including Pursuing Retirement on your list – greatly appreciated! I always enjoy your articles.
You are welcome Steve. You earned your spot. Your many good contributions landed you on the list. Those contributions are much appreciated along with your kind words. Tom
Hi Tom,
Thought I was being a bit obnoxious at times, leaving too many comments on you blog 🙂 But I only did that because commenting on your blog felt like I’m chatting with a good friend who would always respond to me in a kind way, even when I go and buy Tesla stock.
While I value your insights and wisdom, I also value you as a friend, you have always been very kind, humble, and supportive to me and other bloggers.
I enjoy your writing style very much, it’s warm and welcoming while still providing useful insights and overview of what is going on with stocks and market. Kind’a like CNBC’s Nightly Business News with Sue Herera and Tyler Mathisen 🙂
Thank you for the shout-out Tom and being my friend.
Mr. ATM
Gosh Mr. ATM. Your comments have never been anything but welcome. I look forward to them every week. If it were not for you and all the other fine folks on this list, I would have probably thrown in the blogging towel by now. And it is an honor to be mentioned in the same breadth as Sue and Tyler. Maybe I could land a high paying media gig like them if you were my agent? Not sure. Anyway, thanks for the kind words. I can’t have too many friends like you. It’s not like they spit them out at my banks ATM machine! 🙂 Tom
Thanks for the list, A few on the list are new to me as well and would love to check them out.
Happy Investing !

Hey TDK. Welcome to Dividends Diversify and thank you for commenting. Hopefully you can find some good reading and info on these great sites. Sounds like you have visited many of them already! Tom
Thanks Tom . I enjoy reading your blog. I have recently started using feedly to curate my reading list. Hoping to frequent your blog a lot more. I will also check out the links you mentioned.
You are welcome Mr. Geek. I’m not familiar with feedly, I will have to investigate it. Thanks for connecting with me on Pinterest recently. That’s a platform I have invested a lot of time in to try and figure out and…I’m still trying. Glad you are enjoying my site. Thanks for contributing. Talk soon. Tom
Thank you for the mention! Happy 2017- here’s to an even better 2018 (and that can mean market slump or high, both will be fine with me). Keep up the great work here!
You are welcome GYM. Happy holidays and New Year to you! I like your flexible attitude about the market. We will all be ready for whatever comes our way. Tom
Perhaps my meditation three times a week is rubbing off on my financial viewpoint haha. When you understand that nothing is permanent, you don’t get to fixated on not being open to change.
Indeed. ….Very wise
Shout out back to you Tom! Thanks for being a part of the community. I appreciate your voice and input!
Thanks for the shout back Mr. DM. I appreciate your kind words. Tom
