Recently, Goldman Sachs released its forecast for global stock market returns for the next decade. After reviewing their projections, I am confident my Dividend Hunter strategy will outperform Goldman’s expectations for stocks over the next 10 years.

As a baseline, the Alerian Midstream Energy Index (AMNA) has 28 component companies, with a total market cap of $760 billion. […]
Out of the couple of hundred publicly traded high-yield, option-strategy exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the YieldMax Ultra Option Income Strategy ETF (ULTY) is the one about which I get the most questions. And ULTY is not a recommended ETF in any of my newsletter portfolios. ULTY aims to achieve a high distribution yield (currently 83.56%, as […]

As of November 21, the S&P 500 was down 5.8% from the record high set on October 29. The financial news media were full of opinions that the AI bubble had burst and that stocks were entering a new bear market. A 34% drop in Bitcoin helped fuel investor fears. How far stocks will end […]
