2 Cheap Dividends (Growing 275%) Insiders Are Buying Hand Over Fist
We have plenty of cheap dividend stocks to buy today. But which ones are really bargains—and which are cheap for a reason? The P/E ratio won’t tip us off. We’re heading into a recession.

There’s a group of dividend stocks out there that are set to skyrocket as the new “Biden buyback tax” rolls in. These “dividend moonshots” are hiding in plain sight.

This Gimmicky Dividend Strategy Will Cost You Money (Do This Instead)
These days, everyone is looking for safety—and that’s got some folks pondering some pretty, er, unusual strategies that seem secure but are in fact anything but. One such strategy is known as dividend capture, which sounds like a way to bag a company’s quarterly cash dividend without taking the risk of owning the shares. I don’t like the name because […]

It’s not easy to be upbeat in a bear market. This goes for people—and especially dividend stocks. (And hey, who has time for feelings? We are looking to get paid without losing our entire portfolios.

Get your dip-buying lists ready, because it’s almost time to pounce.
