There is a pending retirement crisis for U.S. workers, and the only solution is to take your future into your own hands. So today, let’s talk about a strategy to ensure your retirement years will be as you hope and dream. I receive a daily email from a business and tech news service called The […]
For this week’s intriguing options block trade, we’re looking at a massive trade put on in Warner Brothers Discovery (WBD). The trader or fund manager appears to have sold a huge call position that is potentially being used to finance (part of) an even bigger put position. This type of strategy is called a collar, […]
We’d all like to just be able to buy a stock, hold it forever, and have all our problems go away. I’d like that too. In fact, that’s my goal with my Dividend Hunter service. There, I look for high-yield investments that can generate income for years, preferably forever. Unfortunately, the markets and the economy […]
What you’re about to read is uncomfortable, shocking, and you might even wonder why I’m sharing it at all. After all, it’s a bit embarrassing. But it was a key step on my path to rethinking investing completely… And creating the lifelong dividend income strategy you’ve been seeing these past few days. It’s Tim Plaehn […]

The deal closes next week, so it’s a good time to revisit the investment potential of the CDR preferred shares. Because I […]
Unusual options activity placed Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE) into the spotlight last week. It turns out a massive options trade of 150,000 contracts traded in a spread, with about $16 million of capital required. This one trade accounted for nearly half the options traded on the day. It appears the position may be […]
Last week I spent two days on the road. While driving, I like to listen to business news from CNBC and Fox Business, via SiriusXM radio. I especially like listening to the opinions, and everyone sure has one. My takeaway from listening is that we’re entering a great period for buy and hold investors – […]
When one of my recommended high-yield stocks does a secondary share issue, I always get questions about what is going on. The significant share price drop and share dilution of a secondary issuance make investors wonder if the stock remains a good investment. So today, I thought it would be good to review secondary stock […]
