New Fund Offers 40% Dividend Yield… And Pays Dividends Twice A Week!
Wall Street has done it again. People are loving high income funds. Funds like the JPMorgan Premium Income Fund (ticker: JEPI) have pulled more than $40 billion into its fund. And its popularity makes sense. JEPI aims to track the S&P 500, while increasing the dividend yield from 1.2% to over 8%. JEPI gives 6x […]
Top-Performing Stock Restarting Dividend Increases
I really like companies with consistent dividend growth. But it’s important to be flexible. If we only buy stocks with stable dividend growth, we’ll miss some amazing opportunities. Sometimes a stock pauses dividend increases for legitimate reasons. I wouldn’t want my stocks going bankrupt because they’re trying to keep up with dividend growth. And sometimes […]
Two Decades Of Annual 16% Dividend Growth
Sometimes I feel like a broken record when it comes to dividend growth. I love companies growing their dividends. It means more money for me in the future.

How To Grab Big (7%+) Dividends In … Small Caps?
Small caps are (finally!) back, but most people are in the dark about how to tap them for serious dividends. But there is a proven way to do that—one that puts a rich 7.1% payout squarely on the table for us. Everyone has missed this one. We’re going to dive into it today. The main reason I hate […]
Double-Digit Dividend Growth From A Surprising Industry
Some industries in our economy are doing really well. Anything related to AI is booming! But some parts of our economy are lagging behind. Honestly, they’re downright awful. There has been so much written about the demise of department stores, I probably couldn’t add any new information. Sears is no longer in business. JC Penney […]
An Incredibly Popular ETF With A 4.8% Dividend Yield Is Jumping!
I don’t usually talk about Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). ETFs are very popular because they’re easy and provide a lot of diversification. However, there are two problems with ETFs. First, you’re paying fees to the managers of the ETF. I’d rather the fees get paid to me in dividends! Second, you’re trusting someone else with your […]
This Dividend Stock Is Down 30%… Will It Rebound?
The stock market is at all-time highs. The gains are largely driven by tech and AI hype. But dividend stocks aren’t too far behind. The Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (ticker: VIG) and Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index ETF (ticker: VYM) are two of the most popular dividend ETFs with investors. And both are near their […]
3 “Sleep-Well” Monthly Dividends Averaging 10%+
Last Friday’s jobs report confirmed what we contrarians have been discussing for months now—thanks to AI, employers no longer need to hire more employees to grow. Bosses simply need to implement AI tools to grow their businesses. The machines are a managerial dream. Once trained they are, in many cases, better, faster and cheaper than people. Robots always report for […]
Best Banks With 4% Yields
We haven’t really talked about banks recently. Outside of utilities, banks have the highest concentration of dividend payers. Banks love paying dividends! Banks are where we keep our money, and they’re highly regulated… so they tend to be safer investments than other stocks (like tech companies). And as a dividend investor, I like my investments […]
A 50% Dividend Cut! I Hope You Don’t Own This Stock…
More bad news for dividend investors. A $16 billion company in the S&P 500 just cut its dividend. And it wasn’t a small cut… The dividend was cut in half! Who’s the offending company? It’s Dow, Inc. (ticker: DOW), a chemical company founded in the 19th century. Dow is lowering its dividend payment to $0.35 […]
