Phillips 66 Will Be Offering A Nearly All-Time High Dividend Yield From May

In my previous article, I stated that Phillips 66 (PSX) had become a great bargain after the Christmas sell-off, and thus, I recommended purchasing the stock. Since then, the stock has rallied 19% in less than three months. Nevertheless, the stock still has great upside potential. In addition, it will announce its next dividend hike in May and will thus offer a nearly all-time high dividend yield. Business overview Phillips 66 operates in four segments: refining, midstream, chemicals,... Read more

Yield Curve Scare Will Benefit Gold

While the gold bulls are fighting off a spirited attempt by sellers at breaking the metal’s 6-month rising trend, the yellow metal is being supported by increasing economic fears. The latest such fear to show up in the news headlines involves the near-inversion of a widely watched U.S. Treasury yield curve. Many observers regard this as a sign that the U.S. economy is on the precipice of a recession, and this is yet another selling point for gold. In today’s report we’ll discuss the latest... Read more

DVY Is A Good Pick For Dividend Investors, But There's More You Can Do

Introduction Investing in dividend-paying companies is a tried and tested method of seeking alpha, and dividends have contributed enormously to the growth of investor portfolios over the years. Investing for dividend income is sometimes considered a simpler task than finding a stock that is expected to grow exponentially, or an undervalued issue that is expected to converge with its intrinsic value. Often, this presumption leads to losses for investors, and I believe investing for dividend... Read more

PPL Corporation: A Utility For Every Dividend Investor

Introduction As global stock markets plummeted for nearly three months starting from September last year, many investors were forced to re-think their investment strategies and allocate capital more efficiently to achieve an acceptable level of diversification. Many investors got a reality check regarding the state of the U.S. economy in this period, and the partial inversion of the yield curve created havoc in markets. Only then did investors realize the need to move on from stories and... Read more

Enterprise Products Partners L.P (EPD) provides midstream energy services to producers and consumers of natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products. Midstream energy companies have had a harsh run over the past five years, as many operators within the space have witnessed depressed share prices compared to the S&P 500. In the fall of 2014, EPD broke $40 per share, and then the downward spiral in energy occurred, pummeling the share price down to... Read more

Will HCP, Inc. Increase Their Dividend?

HCP, Inc. (HCP) was once a staple in all dividend investors' portfolio. A high-yielding, continually increasing, dividend real estate investment trust (REIT) that we all loved. We all remember, it was like clockwork where the big REIT would announce an increase every January and it poured money back to the shareholder. Then, in October of 2016, HCP decided to sell assets and package those assets into a spin-off company called QCP Properties. What investors perceived as a great deal, earning... Read more

Global X SuperDividend REIT ETF: A Solution In Search Of A Problem?

During the years I have warned investors about blindly investing in a "sexy" ETF idea without first understanding the underlying index and how the fund works. One thing that investors need to understand is that ETFs were primarily trading vehicles. They are not, or at least were not designed to be long-term investments hoping to generate alpha. To a sponsor, the primary goal is to gather assets while following the index. It's not to generate alpha, to provide above market returns or to... Read more

The Yield Enhancement Strategy Hits Wealthy Investors Hard

Financial advisors pitched the so-called "UBS Yield Enhancement Strategy" - or YES strategy - to their mostly ultra-high net worth customers. They sold it as a supposedly safe and efficient mechanism to enhance yield from generally conservative portfolios. Wealthy investors were told that the YES strategy was a neutral or low-risk "Iron Condor" options trading strategy. Here is what we have found from reviewing dozens of investor portfolios and consulting with several options... Read more
