This Is Where We’ll Find Winning Stocks (And Surging Dividends) In ’24
Let’s cut to the chase on dividend investing in 2024: our strategy this year will be all about interest rates. Sure, there are other trends out there, like AI. And yep, there’s some steak behind the sizzle. But when it comes to grabbing fast-growing—and high-yielding—payouts at the right times, rate moves will rule the roost. That’s not much […]
Really Rich REITs: 7 Massive Yields Up To 15%
Select real estate may be the income investing play for 2024. As I write, seven real estate investment trusts (REITs) are dishing dividends from 8.7% all the way up to 15.4%. These REITs—and their ilk—are literally designed to deliver dividends. That’s how Congress wrote the rules when they legislated these real estate investments into existence back in […]
Did You Miss The Rally? 5 Still-Cheap Dividends Up To 12.3%
Mr. and Ms. Market are manic. Always have been, always will be. My fellow contrarian, they reminded us of this fact yet again. Fortunately we were zigging while the broader crowd was zagging. The herd’s “FOMO panic” last week pushed many of our stocks higher. Vanilla investors covered their ill-timed short positions and scrambled to buy bargains. Like the dividend […]
Drugs ‘n Diapers: 5 Dividends Up To 5.9%
Worried that the Federal Reserve is driving our economy off a cliff? I’ve got two words for you: Drugs ‘n diapers. Actually, I forgot one. Dividends. These companies are about as recession-resistant as they come. Let’s start with drugs because, well, it’s always a bull market on prescription spend in America: While some of us are popping pills, others are […]
The Steadiest Dividend Stocks Paying Up To 11%
Worried about a pullback? I don’t blame you. Today we’ll discuss five of the steadiest dividend stocks on the planet. And let’s not confuse stability with penny pinching—these cash cows yield up to 11%! How do we capture payouts without wild price swings? Two words: low beta. Beta measures how much (or how little) a […]
How To Earn 5%-7% Yields … From Tech?
Our contrarian investing playbook is simple, but not easy. We buy stocks that others are neglecting. At least currently! This means we secure prices when they are low and dividends when they are high. Big tech stocks have been bid to the moon recently. But not all Nasdaq plays are expensive. The rally has been narrow, and […]
Insiders Are Eating Up These 7%+ Yields. Should We?
We contrarians like to follow the insiders. Those “in the know” who buy and sell their own stocks based on value. These “smart money” types fade sentiment. Insiders tend to buy low and sell high. And, to be honest, we really don’t care when they sell. Maybe they were short of cash for a new […]
These 3%-5% Bank Yields Are A Steal
Is it time for us contrarians to “buy the dip” in bank stocks? We’re drowning in big bank-scare headlines. Silicon Valley Bank (SIVB) knuckled under in days, Signature Bank (SBNY) wasn’t too far behind, and across the pond, Credit Suisse (CS) needed a buyout bailout from rival UBS (UBS). The next bank run, however, won’t be with the big boys. Too big […]
This “Hack” Lets Us Tap ChatGPT For 6% Dividends
Let’s go ahead and grab a slice of AI’s furious growth and get ourselves a nice 6% dividend (paid monthly), too. Better still, we’re going to get in at an unheard-of 13% discount! Plus we’re going to do it safely—not tying up our cash in profitless tech or miserly blue chips dribbling out paltry 1% to 3% dividends. Like […]
43 Upcoming Dividend Increases For 2023
Shall we turn 2023 into a bounce back year for our retirement portfolios? How about we shoot for, say, 23% total returns? The surest way to do it is by employing a technique I call the dividend magnet. It’s safe. Reliable. And works beautifully on the back side of a bear market. I recently gave a guest lecture for […]
