In A World Of Disappearing Income, Where to Invest?
While dividend investing generates regular cash flow needed to supplement one's income needs, it is also a defensive investment style that generates regular cash flows and tends to outperform when markets are volatile.
The global economy is weakening, but the current bull market is certainly not over yet. In fact, I expect the gains to start to accelerate. First, the United States is not on the verge of a recession as many in the financial media would like you believe. In fact, the Federal Reserve Chairman noted this week that the U.S. economy is still on solid ground. He also noted that the U.S. labor market remains strong, with a low unemployment rate and solid jobs' growth. Still the Fed decided to cut key interest rates for the 2nd time this year by 0.25% in order to ensure that the U.S. economy continues to grow at a solid pace. These actions are in line with our market predictions that we posted to HDO members as early as October 2018, when interest rates were still rising. What is Happening in the High-Yield Space? in Market Commentary October 4, 2018 and Interest Rates Will Not Go Much Higher in Market Commentary December 2, 2018 are such examples on how we share our views with our members to keep them informed of where the markets are heading next.
Acting on our analysis, we re-positioned our portfolio accordingly, ahead of the crowd, locking in some nice gains to our members. Two of the defensive picks we introduced back then were preferred stock CEFs:
- Flaherty&Crumrine/Claymore Preferred Securities Income Fund (FFC), and
- Nuveen Preferred & Income Securities Fund (JPS).
The chart below shows the returns of FFS (20.52%) and JPS (21.76%) compared to 4.09% returns for the S&P 500 index (SPY) for the same time-period, but most importantly these CEFs provide safe and reliable income.
In my opinion, the recent actions by global central banks have made it highly unlikely that we will see any recession before the year 2022 at least. Now is one of the best times to be invested in high dividend stocks, and lock in the high yields currently offered!
Remember, falling interest rates are a bullish sign for the stock market. As the S&P 500’s dividend yield remains above the 10-year Treasury, yield-hungry investors are returning to the stock market in full force. This quest for higher yields has been particularly apparent in our model portfolio which continues to see a strong rally.
Since joining the HDO team and getting access to the team's research my own portfolio has improved its income growth. Over the last 2 years, my income has grown more than 20% a year, well above my target of 12%.
High Dividend Opportunities
Have you ever wondered why High Dividend Opportunities continues to grow year after year and has maintained the #1 ranking as the most subscribed-to service for income investors and retirees for the 4th year in a row? It's because we realized from the beginning that success in the market can't depend on one person. High Dividend Opportunities has always been successful in bringing together the best experts to search within the high-yield space for the most profitable opportunities.
Our recommended model portfolio targets yields of 9-10% in safe, high-quality securities to ensure you see high immediate income. These include common shares, preferred shares, bonds, exchange-traded baby bonds, exchange-traded funds, and closed-end funds. Our portfolio philosophy emphasizes diversification and safety alongside highly predictable dividends, using our unique strategy we call "The Immediate Income Method". This income can be used to live, invest or save!
Even though total return is not a primary goal, we’ve actually done well on that metric too. Don’t let folks tell you that high yield investing means poor total return performance. At High Dividend Opportunities, a $50,000 portfolio invested on January 1, 2016 is now valued at $83,978 (with dividend re-invested). It has returned an average of 16% per year for the past 4 consecutive years!

How Are We Positioning Our Portfolio Today?
I have very vocal since mid-2018 that interest rates are set to decline in 2019 due to a weaker global economy. As a result, we were the first to adjust our high-yield portfolio to maximize our profits in a world of sharply declining interest rates. We recommended to take profits on many interest-rate sensitive investments such as New Residential Investment (NRZ) and Ladder Capital (LADR) and redeployed our capital into undervalued income investments that are set to benefit in our environment today. In fact, many of our high yield picks are set to soar in case of a recession. At High Dividend Opportunities, we are continuously monitoring macro-economic conditions, and adjusting our investment strategy when needed. As a member, you get access to our latest views in the high yield space, and how they are impacted by ongoing market and economic changes. We always remind our members that keeping the health of the global economy and market conditions in check is more than 50% of the due diligence required for successful investing. By joining us, you will stay on top of issues that matter the most to your investments and hard-earned money.
We all need high income in both good and bad times. This is our mission for you and you don't need to be left out!
Conservative Income Investors - We Have You Covered Too!
Some of highly conservative income investors are worried about investing in higher yield common securities and want a little less downside risk to their income. We have a portfolio just for you! Our "conservative portfolio" includes a preferred stock portfolio with over 50 high quality and high yielding securities with clearly labeled "buy under" prices to ensure your income is sound and solid. Currently, the preferred stock portfolio yields close to 7%. The "conservative portfolio" also includes a recommended list of bonds, "baby bonds" and high-quality "fixed income CEFs" to boost your yield with low price volatility. In fact, most of our conservative picks have gone up in price when the equity markets saw sharp pullbacks this year, making our portfolio much less volatile than the S&P 500 index! We constantly monitor all of our recommendations and issue sell alerts in real-time to help you avoid trouble, and add safety to your income!
Currently, we are recommending to our members a 40% exposure to fixed-income style investments, as the market becomes more volatile our fixed-income picks will be a safe haven for your portfolio and a bastion of strength! For those newer investors or recent retirees who feel uncomfortable investing in individual preferreds, bonds, and baby bonds, we have a selection of highly conservative high yielding preferred stock and bond closed-end funds to add instant diversification to your portfolio!

Protect Your Portfolio Today
At HDO, we combine high-quality portfolio management, high-quality macro-economic analysis with unparalleled sector expertise. From our newest report on Annaly Capital (NLY) report-
Over the long-term, the market is bullish more often than not, however for retirees simply waiting for recovery isn't always a great option. It is crucial that retirees have picks that can be expected to increase dividends and increase in price when the general markets are falling. Adding a few counter-cyclical picks will help reduce volatility and reduce the sting of drawdowns in recessions.
NLY currently yields 11.3% and can double in price in case of a recession! This is one of many defensive high-yield stocks we are currently recommending to our members as we move into an uncertain economic environment. Not all stocks tumble during a recession. In fact, NLY hiked its dividend during the last great recession and saw its price soar. Just look at the charts! High Yield investing can be very rewarding, in both good and bad times. You just need to know how to position your portfolio!
