Dividend Stocks To Buy?
Looking For Outsized Dividends From The Promising AI Sector
Business news is full of discussions about the growing impact of artificial intelligence (AI).

Top-Performing Stock Restarting Dividend Increases
I really like companies with consistent dividend growth. But it’s important to be flexible. If we only buy stocks with stable dividend growth, we’ll miss some amazing opportunities. Sometimes a stock pauses dividend increases for legitimate reasons. I wouldn’t want my stocks going bankrupt because they’re trying to keep up with dividend growth. And sometimes […]
Yes, AI Is Coming For Jobs But These 6%+ Dividends Are A “Silver Lining”
By now, it’s glaringly obvious: AI is replacing workers. And it’s boosting corporate bottom lines as it does. I call this the “growth-without-hiring” trend, and it’s accelerating. Today we’re going to grab our share in the form of big dividends (up to 8.1%) and upside, too. Latest Payroll Report Tells a New (Yet Familiar) Story The latest evidence […]

Here’s Why Starbucks Stock Has Gone Cold
The firm is closing 100s of stores and laying off 900 workers. Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) stock was moving lower on Friday, down roughly 1% in afternoon trading.

Double-Digit Dividend Growth From A Surprising Industry
Some industries in our economy are doing really well. Anything related to AI is booming! But some parts of our economy are lagging behind. Honestly, they’re downright awful. There has been so much written about the demise of department stores, I probably couldn’t add any new information. Sears is no longer in business. JC Penney […]
Two Popular REITs That Will Go Up 25% Next Year
I constantly preach that high-yield investments should be bought and owned for the yield, the cash income. The goal with high-yield investing should be to develop and grow a cash income stream. However, even in the high-yield world, opportunities arise to generate significant capital gains. Here are two stocks to consider. Over the last several […]
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.

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!
