By GuruFocus, Contributor The $26 billion T Rowe Price Equity Income Fund has been managed by the firm’s Chief Investment Officer Brian Rogers since 1985. Since then the fund has gained 11% a year on average. Over the past 10 years the fund averaged 9% a year. Brian Rogers likes to invest in companies that are well-established and pay above-average dividends. As we can see from his recent purchase, he likes to buy companies that are traded at 52-week lows, too.

Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda In Washington And Elsewhere
By Ron-Reale
We should only get mail delivered on Mondays and Thursdays.
The Conservatives in the House should be drafting a bill concerning the number of taxpayer-funded vacations any future president gets (and a cap on costs over which the President is responsible.) Going to Camp David or their private home for extended times are fine, as they are considered “working vacations”. High priced hotels and lavish multiple, separate family vacations on the taxpayer dime must have some restrictions. Even the Royal Family in Britain has a set allowance. There is no reason our President’s (and other elected officials’ perks) should be unlimited or undefined.
No politician other than the president should receive any lifetime pension from the taxpayers above $100,000 a year.
A definition of the duties of the unelected first lady is due. A cap on their taxpayer-funded activities is long overdue. These women are not elected, and there is no oversight of their spending. Their husbands should be personally responsible for the cost of their hobbies, not the public. If first ladies wish to spend taxpayer monies, let them get elected to do so.
The American Psychiatric Association should be held accountable for the death and damage their illogical and dangerous decisions cause. Public school education has been sacrificed and destroyed by their PC “global self-esteem” BS.Very expensive experimental psychotropic drugs rewire the brain and create addicts who must keep taking the drug for the rest of their lives. Problems are not solved with a satisfied patient ending therapy. No, the drug companies and the venal frauds bilk the insurance companies for the overpriced medications you must take for the rest of your life.
With one exception, every mass shooting was perpetrated by someone on anti-depressants or some type of mood-altering psychotropic drugs.
American society as a whole has been severely damaged by the illogical assertion by the APA that homosexuality is a “normal” lifestyle, against all evidence to the contrary. Feeding into the fantasy world of these pitiable mentally ill people, we now stand at a point where this tiny minority (3.5%) is trying to convince the rest of the world, and forcibly indoctrinate our children (with the Progressive enemies of America in our Government helping them at every step) into accepting their delusional and dangerous lifestyle.
Churches and religious organizations should no longer recognize State marriage licenses. They should be free to marry anyone they choose, according to their beliefs; and it is none of the State’s business. It is the ultimate “Free Speech” and “Religious Freedom” issue and should be forced to the courts by the religious organizations. Regular business partnership agreements will cover the inheritance, visitation, and every other “right” now granted by the State recognition through the marriage contract. There should be no tax breaks for anyone based on whether or not they are married.
Our President’s (and, by extension, our) taxpayer-funded sponsorship of the terrorism of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is a direct and active threat against the UAE immediately, and the free world eventually.
On a personal note, we all face different obstacles and experiences in life. The death of a parent or …read more

Don't Stress About Money: 5 Money Habits of Successful Entrepreneurs
By Jan Bruce, Contributor This is the start of National Stress Awareness month – so perhaps it’s fitting to kick it off by taking a look at our greatest source of stress, which for most people today is money. Never mind the stress from devices that never get put away, vacations going missed, information and emails streaming in endlessly, the threatening news of economic decline, bullying and violence in our schools. Money, work, and the economy together dominate the top of the list of most commonly cited sources of stress, according to the APA’s Stress in America report—ahead of relationships, family, health, and by the way—job stability. Financial worry, in other words, beats out employment worry. …read more
