She Actually Beat Wall Street By Ignoring Earnings Entirely
March is Women’s History Month, a time set aside to reflect on the women who pushed boundaries long before many of the opportunities we have today existed. In finance, those stories are not ancient history. Many of the women who opened the doors to this profession were working only a generation ago. In 2015, I […]
Investors Are Dumping This Fund Despite Stable Value
Subscribers who have been with me for a while know that I have a general negative opinion of closed-end funds (CEFs). I have heard them called the Junkyard of Wall Street. That said, I have added a few CEFs to the Dividend Hunter portfolio when I found ones with compelling potential. Currently, there are two […]
New ETF Targets 10% Retirement Income
Over the last few years, innovation in ETFs has been happening at a breakneck pace. When I see a new fund with a different strategy, I take a closer look and try to find a good investment use for it. Launched on February 18, 2026, the Roundhill S&P 500® Target 10 Managed Distribution ETF (TPAY) […]
Buy, Hold, Sell: How to Make Dividends Actually Count
Many new income investors are confused about when they need to hold stocks to collect dividends. Either they end up missing the dividend because they bought too late, or on the other side, they sold too early. Ongoing dividends from any stock are not guaranteed. A company’s board of directors will review the financial results […]
Actually Turning Silver’s Devastating Volatility Into Monthly Income
After a year-long parabolic rise, silver peaked at $118 per ounce on January 28. I hope you’ve accumulated some silver exposure in the $30 to $50 range and are still nicely profitable at the current $74 per ounce. After the recent sell-off, I want to slowly increase my silver exposure until the next up-leg starts. […]
High-Yield FUD: A New Buying Opportunity?
I recently came across the term Paid FUD. It refers to the deliberate spreading of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (thus FUD). My newsletter subscribers regularly share information they found, sometimes putting a very negative spin on one of my recommended investments. Firms focused on short-selling have been known to issue negative “research reports” on stocks […]
A Better Dividend Strategy for Buying the Dip With Confidence
One hazard of my work is that I spend too much time watching or listening (thanks, SiriusXM) to financial news networks. The bulk of the discussion revolves around what could go wrong with either an investment theme or specific stocks. My newsletter subscribers stay busy sending me the warnings about the next financial meltdown they’ve […]
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 […]
AI Investors Are Missing These Dividend Opportunities
With artificial intelligence dominating investors’ thoughts, there is a constant search for investment ideas to profit from the AI boom. Recently, one of my newsletter subscribers asked me about data center real estate investment trusts (REITs). They do exist, but I have not heard any discussion about them in the general AI investing talk. With […]
