12% Dividend Yield Investing In The S&P 500
There are a lot of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with really high dividend yields. But you need to be incredibly careful. Some of these funds are doing some crazy stuff. And you can get burned if you don’t understand what these funds are doing. One fund in particular is gaining in popularity, so I wanted to […]
5.6% Dividend Yield During Tax Season
We’re right in the middle of tax season. Some of you are already done. You’re the lucky ones! The rest of us are trying to finish before the April 15 deadline. If you need some help, one company is available. And if you need help with dividend income, it’s got you covered there as well. […]
Industry With High Dividend Yields Is Booming
The stock market is down so far in 2026. But one industry is really taking off, especially in the last few weeks. Shipping, especially maritime shipping, has been on a tear. Over the past 6 months, maritime shipping stocks are up almost 30%. The S&P 500 is only up 4%, with most of those gains […]
Regional Bank With Double-Digit Dividend Growth
I really like regional banks. They have a lot of room to expand. And they don’t get the attention of the massive banks, so you can really find some diamonds out there. One regional bank should’ve been on my radar a long time ago. I used to work with them! Hancock Whitney (ticker: HWC) is […]
A Golden 4x Dividend Hike
I’ve seen some companies with amazing dividend growth. But a mining company just did something I’ve never seen before. We’ll get to it in a minute. Mining stocks have gone crazy in the last year.

However, despite working with investment firms continually, many investors don’t actually invest in these firms themselves. And it’s a mistake. Charles Schwab Corporation (ticker: SCHW) is one of the largest investment companies around. It manages almost […]
High Dividend Yield (5%+) With High Growth (9%+)
Most dividend stocks have a trade-off between yield and growth. Companies with high dividend yields generally don’t grow their dividends a lot. It makes sense why. Those companies are paying out a lot of their earnings in dividends rather than reinvesting to grow the business. It isn’t a bad thing, just different. On the flip […]
A Utility With Rare 6% Dividend Growth
Utility stocks are great for dividend investors. They’re very stable relative to the rest of the stock market. Plus, they pay very high dividend yields. However, utility stocks aren’t known for their dividend growth. But there are exceptions. Alliant Energy (ticker: LNT) is an electric and natural gas utility in the Midwest. Alliant isn’t particularly […]
A New Dividend King Is Crowned
I’ve talked about Dividend Kings in the past. Dividend Kings are stocks with at least 50 straight years of dividend growth. Well, there’s a new Dividend King, and I’ve never heard of it before. Pentair PLC (ticker: PNR) is a water treatment supply company headquartered in the United Kingdom. But don’t worry, almost 70% of […]
