5 Discounted Monthly Dividends Paying up to 11.4%

Every legendary investor worth their salt has some sort of phrase to describe what investors should be doing right this very minute.

“Be fearful when others are greedy, be greedy when others are fearful.”

“Buy when there’s blood in the streets.”

Largely speaking, most stocks on the market are on sale to some extent. And sure, we could go out and make a few targeted bets on these bargains.

But I’d prefer to squeeze even more value out of the stock market.

Enter closed-end funds (CEFs).

Why CEFs Are Our Best Option Now

If we were to go out and buy an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that invests in, say, the Nasdaq Composite or Russell 2000, or really any area of the market you felt was underpriced, you’d be able to enjoy in the collective discounts of all their holdings.… Read more

2 Top Oil Buys for 2022 (8% Dividends, 7%+ Upside Ahead)

Today we’re going to dive into two closed-end funds (CEFs) that have what everyone is on the hunt for these days—massive yields! Both pay more than 8% on average and tempt us with big upside, too, as they’re far cheaper than most other CEFs.

It’s almost like the magazine’s writers are sharing a subscription to our Contrarian Income Report service, because the six stocks they cited in an article they ran last week are almost all picks in our portfolio—specifically our “crash ‘n rally” energy bucket.

(It’s not the first time’s Barron’s has shadowed us. In April, they put out a strategy for retiring on dividends, a subject we literally wrote the book on two years ago.)… Read more

3 Huge Monthly Dividends Set to Soar (One Yields an Incredible 7.6%)

When it comes right down to it, we dividend investors really only need three things:

  • Bargain stocks with …
  • High current yields and ideally …
  • Monthly payouts—so we can line up our income with our bills and reinvest our dividend cash without having to wait for three long months.

I know—this list is cute, but it sounds wildly out of step with the times.

After all, the COVID rally has sliced the typical S&P 500 stock’s yield to an unlivable 1.4%. And bargain valuations? Ha! Stocks trade at a helium-powered 37-times their last 12 months of earnings right now.

And we all know that to get monthly payouts, we must look beyond the popular stocks to lesser-known plays like real estate investment trusts (REITs) and closed-end funds (CEFs).… Read more
