As a group, dividend hunters tend to have a long-term investment perspective. There’s not much sense investing in a stock just to capture one quarterly payment and then part ways. When we find a strong business generating ample cash and sharing it generously with stockholders, we tend to stick around for a while. —Sponsored Link— The ‘Picks And Shovels’ Of Marijuana The real money during the Gold Rush was in the picks and shovels.

When we find a strong business generating ample cash and sharing it generously with stockholders, we tend to stick around for a while. —Sponsored Link— The ‘Picks And Shovels’ Of Marijuana The real money during the Gold Rush was in the picks and shovels. With California legalizing recreational use and Canada coming online this year, pot stocks are up over 400% in months. But which are best long term? Where is the real money and how can we profit? Read the full story. Case in point, I’ve held CME Group (NYSE: CME) in my High-Yield Investing portfolio for almost four years now. When I first took a position in the summer of 2014, the stock offered a regular quarterly dividend of $0.47 per share that added up to a modest yield of 2.6%. Many income investors skipped over it without a second glance. #-ad_banner-#But I saw a dividend that had already doubled over the previous four years and was poised to… Read More

Back in November of last year, I told readers about the release of our flagship investment report: Top Stocks For 2018. This is probably the most important piece of research we put out all year. One of the reasons is that we’re brutally honest with our readers in this report. It tells investors what they NEED to hear, not necessarily what they want to hear. I think our readers appreciate this kind of frankness — it’s what keeps them coming back year after year. They know that the principles undergirding this report stand the test of time.

I think our readers appreciate this kind of frankness — it’s what keeps them coming back year after year. They know that the principles undergirding this report stand the test of time. Because the truth is, successful investing doesn’t have to be overly complicated. Think about it… #-ad_banner-#What do companies like Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), Campbell’s Soup (NYSE: CPB) and Deere & Co. (NYSE: DE) all have in common? You might think not much. But think for a moment about some of the absolute chaos that has happened in the 20th century, not to mention this nascent 21st. There was World War I, World War II, Vietnam, etc. You had the Great Depression, the Oil embargo, the tech bubble, the global financial crisis… There were pandemics, assassinations, terror attacks… the list goes on.  Yet somehow, every… Read More

Growing up in a state settled by conservative Quakers (Pennsylvania) with two parents who didn’t drink much at all, my childhood exposure to beer and liquor was limited. As a perceptive teenager, I began to take notice of how my friends and their families drank. With the exception of a few very heavy drinkers in my large circle of acquaintances, most had one or two casual drinks once a week or less. —Sponsored Link— SF 2801 Just Unlocked A Windfall For Thousands Of Investors You could collect up to $11,334/mo. from this…… Read More

As the years passed, populations grew, wealth increased and social habits shifted… greatly. Now, nearly all my friends enjoy at least one libation, beer or glass of wine a day — if not more — and most keep a stocked bar in their homes. I’ve noticed that alcohol is playing a larger role in our daily lives — and the stigma surrounding its use has also declined. #-ad_banner-#Anecdotal as that may seem, my findings are supported by several studies. One 2017 investigation published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, showed that… Read More

As 2018 takes shape, the time has come for an update on my Starter Portfolios. First published in the March 2017 issue of The Daily Paycheck, these three portfolios offer an easy template for investors from all walks of life, on any budget.

(To get full access to these portfolios –and the rest of my Daily Paycheck picks — follow this link.) OK, so here’s how this works… #-ad_banner-#I’m going to show you three portfolios — each of which could easily be started with as little as $10,000 or even less. They are designed to address a variety of stages of an investor’s saving/investing/spending cycles. They could also easily be adapted to fit a variety of risk tolerances, timelines, and investment goals. Also, the income from these portfolios can all be reinvested — a key element of my Daily Paycheck strategy. Bottom line, think of these as a “first step” guide for starting a diversified portfolio — as a base to be built upon, with new investments, new funds, stocks and bonds to be added along the way.

Fears of a trade war have subsided, but recent economic releases may be showing it’s too late to avoid some of the pain. Signs of inflation have already been creeping higher and price pressures for manufacturers might foreshadow a surge in consumer prices that could force the Fed to increase rates faster than expected. #-ad_banner-#The problem is that it may be a no-win situation for businesses and their investors. Passing costs on to consumers could slow sales and subsequent rate hikes could slow the economy. However, not passing costs on to consumers could decimate earnings. There are only a few… Read More

Fears of a trade war have subsided, but recent economic releases may be showing it’s too late to avoid some of the pain. Signs of inflation have already been creeping higher and price pressures for manufacturers might foreshadow a surge in consumer prices that could force the Fed to increase rates faster than expected. #-ad_banner-#The problem is that it may be a no-win situation for businesses and their investors. Passing costs on to consumers could slow sales and subsequent rate hikes could slow the economy. However, not passing costs on to consumers could decimate earnings. There are only a few sectors and industries that could escape this lose-lose scenario. These Two Problems Could Be Bigger Than A Trade War While we may avoid a full-blown trade war, the prospect of one may have already caused an increase in prices. The Producer Price Index (PPI) measure of input costs has risen in six of the past eight months and import prices have recently jumped the most in six years. That could be due in part to manufacturers rushing to order inputs ahead of tariffs, inadvertently driving up prices at suppliers. One measure flashing red is delivery… Read More
