These “Great American Reset” Stocks Will Create Fortunes
Another hand went up. I pointed for the next question. When you consider dividend investments, Brett, what is more important in your opinion: The current yield and value of the stock itself, or The “engine” that is driving the business and the profits? “Great question,” I replied. “The business engine. Always consider where the cash flow is coming from, […]
The Beautiful, Boring Secret To Landing 7% Dividends
As Wall Street loses its mind over a long bond that pays a lousy 1%, we level-headed income investors are going to stay calm. And 7.7% on. Yes, we “prefer” (hint, hint) dividends that are 7X the weak 1% yield the wonks are clamoring about. I’ll get to the specifics on these retirement makers—which we can […]
My Personal “Set-It-And-Forget-It” Plan For 10% Dividends, 100% Upside
The mainstream crowd has gotten way too greedy—which means we could be in the teeth of a stock-market selloff within weeks. Most folks hear the word “selloff” and gasp. But not us contrarian dividend hounds! We know that volatility is our friend. It’s easy to see this just by looking at what the market’s done in the […]
3 Preferred Pretenders (And “Real Deals” Yielding 10%)
Wall Street can have its casino. We’re going to look past the suits’ “common shares” and instead dial in some steady dividends—up to 10%!—that, for whatever reason, aren’t widely talked about on financial news channels and websites. We income investors could care less what the S&P 500 or, heaven forbid, glue-sniffing NASDAQ, did in their daily session. […]
3 Dividend Traps Tempting Investors With 8%-10.5% Yields
We can’t take every dividend we see at face value. Especially when we’re talking about 8%, 9% and even 10% yields. Bull markets, government stimulus, money printing and the scent of all-time highs might give the impression that any stock is safe. Unfortunately that isn’t the case. Even in a bull market, there are dividend traps paying 8% to […]
5 Dividends Up To 10.8% To Buy On This Dip
Are you trying to grind out a livable retirement on dividends alone? It’s possible, and it doesn’t require millions and millions already in the bank. (Even today, with interest rates in the tank.) However, we must step outside the mainstream to achieve this. After all, why mess around with a standard $15,600 a year in retirement income […]
These 3 “Perfect” REIT Dividends Are Still On Sale
The economy is a mess—and that’s presenting quite the opportunity for these landlords, and contrarians like us. Tenants are still paying, but these stocks are priced like a few are flaking. That’s not the case. Plus, one firm is about to take advantage of a weak 2020 market to go shopping and secure future cash […]
Monthly Payouts (Yielding Up To 9.7%) That Are Jay Powell-Proof
“Brett, how you hanging in there?” My CPA leaned into his computer on our latest Zoom call. “Well, every time Gavin Newsom talks, my life seems to get a bit worse.” (The governor of California had just announced that public and private schools would not open in the fall.) He cracked up. “That comment reminds […]
3 Good Yields In Energy We’ll Soon Buy As GREAT Yields
The broader market, as defined by the S&P 500, has rallied like crazy. But don’t worry, you haven’t “missed out” on anything. The rally has been carried by large, and largely non-dividend paying stocks! Most income plays are just now getting up off the mat. We’ll discuss one of my favorites today. Energy, for example, is in the […]
2 Smart Lockdown Buys For 150% Dividend Growth, Upside
We’re almost three months into this crisis and three things are crystal clear: Plenty of “household-name” dividend-payers are in big trouble—and not just the ones you see in the news. When the payout cuts come, the resulting share-price drops will crush the unwary. Way too many people are clinging to blue chips yielding 2% or 3%. But is […]
