Boogers, Biotech and Health Insurance: The Safest Dividends for a Recession

Let’s talk about recession-resistant dividends because, if history is any guide, we are certainly “on the clock” for a slowdown if not already in one. Here at Contrarian Outlook we have been preparing for slower economic readings, and our recession divvies have already delivered.

Why the focus on slowdown safety? The Federal Reserve began hiking rates 2+ years ago. This is around the time something usually snaps in the financial markets. Sure enough, the Japanese yen of all things caused a VIX spike last seen in the 2008 and COVID crashes.

This Proven 200% Dividend Growth Strategy Is a Peter Lynch Favorite

Let’s dive into this Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) spinoff—because it shows exactly how we can tap “splits” like these to grab not one but TWO income streams growing 200%+.

Because if there’s one thing we need to know about spinoffs, it’s this: they’re about the closest thing to a free lunch you’ll find in investing. Just ask Peter Lynch, who guided his Magellan Fund to an astounding 29.2% annualized return from 1977 to 1990. His take on spinoffs, in his 1989 investing masterclass One Up on Wall Street, was simple:

“Spinoffs of divisions or parts of companies into separate, freestanding entities … often result in astoundingly lucrative investments.”… Read more

A 6.4% Dividend Growing 66%? Yep. Here’s the Ticker

A recession or more rate hikes in late 2023? We contrarian dividend investors don’t care—we’ve zeroed in on a group of stocks that will prosper no matter what.

Three, in particular, are begging us to buy them now. We’ll talk tickers in a moment, but let me start by saying they boast four key strengths we demand when we buy any stock in my Hidden Yields dividend-growth advisory:

  • A healthy yield, so we’re starting off with a strong income stream.
  • Rising dividends primed to keep soaring—and even accelerate. That increases our income stream, the yield on our original buy and, as we’ll see below, drives share prices higher, too.

3 December Dividend Growers to Buy for 5.4% Yields, 40% Payout Growth

We’ve just hit the best time of the year to roll out one of our most potent dividend “hacks.” Timed just right, it’ll deliver us stout payouts yielding upwards of 5%—and growing triple-digits, too.

Best of all, we can “work” this proven dividend-growth system in just two quick steps, which we’ll dive into now. Then I’ll name three stocks you can buy today to give yourself a shot at “front running” double-digit payout hikes—and swift capital gains, too!

Step 1: Buy Just as a Dividend Hike Is Announced

We’ll start by “timing” our buys just as dividend hikes are announced. That’s a veteran move because a company’s shares almost always rise with its payouts, and there’s often a lag between the announcement of the hike and a rise in the stock.… Read more

This Safe 5-Stock Healthcare Portfolio Yields 5.5%

Healthcare—along with consumer staples (“buying stuff”) and utilities (“keeping the lights on”)—provide portfolio stability. Plus, they usually pay dividends, too!

Of the three safety sectors, healthcare is a steady growth market, too. Consider these stats from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services:

  • National health spending is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 5.4% for 2019-28 and to reach $6.2 trillion by 2028.
  • National health expenditures are projected to grow 1.1 percentage points faster than gross domestic product per year during that same time period.
  • Between 2019 and 2028, healthcare’s share of the economy will rise from 17.7% to 19.7%.

How to Play Stock Spinoffs for 176%+ Payout Growth, 200%+ Upside

Let’s start 2021 with a proven strategy for grabbing two growing income streams in one buy. Plus, we’ll nicely set ourselves up to bank double-digit price gains to boot.

The strategy? Simple: we’re buying dividend-paying stocks poised to spin off one of their businesses into a brand-new dividend-paying stock. When that happens, we wind up with two or more quarterly dividends where there used to be just one.

I’ll give you a telltale sign to look for as we move to front-run the next “dividend split” in a moment.… Read more

And I’m not talking about investing your “growth capital” into risky fly-by-night names in hopes of buying high and selling higher. We can scale our money more securely—and just as spectacularly—by purchasing sound dividend payers that happen to be growing their payouts rapidly. Here’s why.

There are three—and only three—ways a company’s stock can pay us:

  1. A cash dividend.
  2. A dividend hike.
  3. By repurchasing its own shares.
