The index huggers are, rightfully, fretting about the only position they own, the S&P 500, which is heavy on Nvidia (NVDA). The soon-to-be-fallen angel is the third largest component of the index at 6.3%. “America’s ticker” SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) yields only 1.2% and trades for 22-times earnings.

5 “Inaugural Dividends” Paying Up To 10%
Which dividend is most likely to be hiked? Usually, the brand-new payout. Chief Financial Officers are a conservative bunch. A CFO will only agree to pay a dividend if they know they can: The hike part is important because rising dividends drive stock gains.
