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 […]
Interesting High-Yield Plays Fulfill Investor Fear Of The Debasement Trade
The Debasement Trade discussion has become a popular topic on the financial news outlets. I thought I knew what it meant, but I wanted to dig deeper to understand better. A query using AI produced this: The debasement trade is a financial and investment strategy (or market narrative) that gained significant attention in 2025 and into 2026, […]
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 […]
The Robots Are Coming For Insurance (And Paying Us 8.3% Dividends, Too)
There’s a group of stocks out there that most people think yield just 2%—or less. But they’re way off. In reality, these “elite” payers yield 2X, 3X—and in the case of a stock we’ll talk about below, even nearly 4X that. I’m talking about a tidy 8.3% shareholder yield (remember that phrase) here. This one has another advantage […]
A 33% Dividend Hike For An Unknown Stock
The company I’m about to talk about is probably one of the smallest you’ll see discussed here. It’s only worth around $330 million. Usually, I like dividend companies worth billions of dollars and avoid the little guys. But I’m going to make an exception. Quad/Graphics Inc. (ticker: QUAD) just raised its dividend by 33% to […]
AI Rocked Software Stocks. These 7.5% Divvies Are Cashing In
A major AI upgrade just crushed software stocks. We’re going to cash in with two “volatility-loving” dividends paying 7.5%+. Just days ago, new AI tools were rolled out that let bots make entire apps by themselves. It’s not a big leap from there to the question a lot of people are asking now: “Why would […]
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. The price of gold is really driving the stock price gains for some of these mining companies. In the last […]
A 10% Dividend Growth Story Few Investors Are Watching
Pure-play energy refiners receive little investor attention. When people think about energy stocks, they usually think of large, global, full-spectrum players like Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX); however, income-focused investors are aware of midstream companies with attractive yields and growing dividends. Refining companies, which turn crude oil into fuels, are referred to as downstream […]
18% Dividend Growth From A Popular Investment Firm
We all deal with investment companies. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to buy and hold any of our stocks! 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 […]
4 REITs. 4 Monthly Dividend Programs. 4 Massive Yields Of Up To 11.7%
Quarterly-paying dividend stocks? Ha! We save those for the poor vanilla investors. Give us the monthly payers—those that dish divvies every 30 days. Today we’ll discuss four monthly payers yielding between 5% and 11% per year. An average yield of 7.9%. This means a $500,000 investment portfolio can buy this four-pack, earn $39,500 per year in […]
