I invest in the same stocks and other securities I recommend to my newsletter subscribers. While all three services – The Dividend Hunter, Monthly Dividend Multiplier, and Weekly Income Accelerator –focus on income-paying investments, each has a distinctly different strategy. I interact with hundreds of investors each week across all three platforms. I want to […]
The 10-year bond chart may be the most important chart to watch in the entire stock market right now. Why? In this video, I’m going to breakdown what stocks could do the rest of July and through August. If we see bonds breakout, I’ll tell you what I expect stocks to do in the meantime. […]
As low as interest rates have been lately, it doesn’t seem to have diminished investors’ appetite for government bonds. A yield under 1.50% for 10-year Treasury notes is not a detriment, apparently, when the rest of the developed world is also in an ultra-low rate cycle.

At first, asset classes like muni bonds and high yield corporate debt became the go-to products for those looking for […]
Today I wanted to give you an important update on how we’re posturing in an important part of the market, where bond yeilds could go. That very much has a big impact on the equity world as well.
The 10-year Treasury bond now yields 0.5% Last Friday, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note dropped to 0.520%. According to Deutsche Bank, that’s the lowest yield in 234 years. Whenever you see stats like this, know that someone is getting a little creative. What they’re doing is splicing data from other sources to come […]
On Monday, the major stock indices in the US were all down at least 7% for the day. It was the largest one-day drop since 2008, the year the Great Financial Crisis started.
