AI Is Set To Supercharge 3 “Boring” Dividends
While Wall Street chases NVIDIA (NVDA), the real AI dividend story is unfolding in the sleepy insurance sector. These “boring” firms are quietly leveraging AI tools to slash costs, grow premiums, and—best of all—dish us bigger dividends. AI is spreading across the economy much faster than many expected. That means we need to move even faster to front-run that shift. We’ve already been hard […]
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 […]
What Happens When You Know How Much You’ll Make Every Month
Investors looking for a predictable income stream combined with high yields might like Target Pay ETFs. You’ve probably heard of Target Date Funds. These provide a set-and-forget portfolio for retirement with a shifting asset mix designed to become more conservative over time as a specific target date (like a retirement year) approaches.

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!

REITs Are Underperforming By 60%… Is It Time To Buy?
I absolutely love Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). REITs borrow money to buy properties and then collect rent, which they use to pay dividends. For tax purposes, REITs must pay 90% of their income as dividends each year, which means they have really high dividend yields. Unfortunately, REITs haven’t been showing us the love back. […]
5 Dividends (Up To 9.3%) Washington Doesn’t Want You To Know About
Don’t buy all the “America First” talk coming out of DC. Truth is, Uncle Sam’s recent moves are quietly making foreign bonds—especially the 5 bond funds (yielding up to 9.3%!) below—great again. What I’m going to show you is having a real impact on the government, everyday borrowers and, not least, our biggest winners: those 5 foreign-bond funds. Let’s […]
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 […]
Can These Colorfully Named ETFs Actually Boost Your Account?
I recently came across the relatively new high-yield ETFs from NestYield. The website graphics are eye-catching, to say the least. They have my attention, and the next step is to examine their historical and potential performance.

August 2025 – 3 Hidden Stocks With Amazing Profit And High Yields
Finding companies with high dividend yields is easy. Just use a free screener on Yahoo Finance or another financial site, and you can search for companies with high dividend yields. However, high yields aren’t everything. Especially if a company doesn’t make enough money to keep paying such high dividends. The last thing you want is […]
7 ‘Stability Stocks’ With Low Volatility, High Yields
Worried about a market pullback? Let’s discuss seven sturdy dividends with yields up to 8%. These are “low beta” stocks which means they stand tall when the market sinks. Low beta stocks may still go down, but they tend to regress less than average. And generally speaking, the lower the beta, the more cushion to […]
