Earn 3x To 6x The Market’s Dividends Without Breaking A Sweat
I think I’ve been asked every day this week from ordinary people if I’m trading NVIDIA (NVDA). Be careful out there, my fellow contrarian! A sharp pullback is possible. Something has to shake the froth out of this market. When that happens, investors will look for stocks that are high on income and low on volatility. Today we’ll […]
2 Big Dividends (Yielding 10%+) Soaring On The AI Megatrend
If you’re a dyed-in-the wool dividend investor (like me!), you’ve likely taken a look at the big gains folks are reaping on AI stocks … and resigned yourself to missing out on the whole thing. After all, most AI stocks, like Alphabet (GOOGL) and NVIDIA (NVDA), yield 0% (or close to it!). And we simply demand a dividend before we […]
7 King-Sized Yields (Up To 12.4%) That Wall Street Can’t Stand
When the Wall Street cheerleaders actually dislike a stock—well, that sure commands our contrarian attention. Today we’ll cover one of my favorite traditions, which is fading the opinions of analysts. You know, the guys who typically slap a Buy rating on everything they see? It sounds counterintuitive, but we don’t want Buy ratings on our stocks. Give us Holds and Sells […]
Magnificent 7 Move Over: “Dividend 6” Yields Up To 8.3%
Magnificent Seven? Tired. Dividend Six? Wired. Plain vanilla investors fawn over chipmakers and AI stocks. They hope they can buy them high, and sell them higher. Contrarian income investors like us? We focus on the companies that support the AI hype. The “pick and shovel” providers. A “Dividend Six” that plays on AI and pays $26,000 to $41,500 in dividends alone on […]
Dogs Of The Dow 2024: Cheap Dividends, But Are They Values?
The 2024 Dogs of the Dow are particularly homely hounds—which means we’re talking big dividends. This year’s Dogs yield more than three-times the broader market’s paltry payout. So, should we hold our noses and buy? Let’s grab some peanut butter treats and investigate. But first, a review of the “Dogs” strategy. The “Dogs of the Dow” strategy means […]
7 Life-Changing Dividends Up To 18%
A safe double-digit yield makes it a lot easier to retire. Today we’ll discuss a portfolio that pays 14.1% (that’s no typo). The math on 14.1% looks awesome. This yield generates $14,100 on a $100K every year. Or $141,000 on a million dollar portfolio. Contrast this with “the market”—$1 million plunked into the S&P 500 would only […]
These 5 Companies Pay Regular “Special Dividend” Bonuses
Quarterly dividends. Getting paid every 90 days. Ninety. Who wants to wait that long? That’s life as a vanilla income investor. These poor folks (literally!) have no idea about “special dividend” stocks. These are companies that pay each shareholder hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars a year more than expected. The payments often come around the holidays. Think of them […]
Big Yields, Little Stocks: 5 Small-Caps Paying Up To 14.7%
Small dividend stocks are dirt cheap right now. I’m talking about stocks trading for less than one year’s worth of sales. Yields up to 14.7%. And single-digit P/E ratios. Why such deals? Well, because they’ve been pummeled into bargain territory of late. A number of high-yield bargains are staring us right in the face. Small firms, straight up, are the […]
Got $15 Or $20? If So, These Stocks Pay Up To 11.1%
Let’s talk income investments that are usually reserved for rich folks: deal-making private-equity (PE) funds! Usually there’s a sizable fee to get into PE. Unless you know the secret knock at the back-door entrance, which is more our style anyway. I’m talking about yields from 7% all the way up to 11%. With a cover charge as […]
My #1 Dividend Strategy To Profit As Rates Surge (It’s Not Bonds)
The 10-year Treasury yield’s latest journey to the stars is setting up a terrific opportunity for us to “lock in” historically high dividend yields—and upside, too. The time to make our move is now. Here’s why: the surging yield on the “long bond” has hit stocks—especially dividend stocks—hard. But this surge is completely unsustainable. Look, over the last […]
