Shah Gilani | Jul 02, 2020

To celebrate your financial freedom this Fourthwsq of July I’ve got five dividend paying stocks you can retire on.

You’ll know they’re great recommendations if you read my last two Total Wealth articles.

In the second article in this series I told you how trillions of dollars of buybacks are going to be converted to dividends in the future.

Because politicians are going on the warpath over the same issues and how the last tax cut juiced up buybacks by another trillion dollars. And because dividend payments are good for shareholders and the economy.

Here in the third and final installment in the series are five dividend paying stocks you can retire on.

    No, the Fed didn’t upset the applecart on Wednesday. The market tested itself on Wednesday when fear of rapidly rising virus spikes in Arizona, Texas and Florida triggered profit-taking.

    The Fed didn’t upset the market on Thursday either. It actually helped stocks rally on the heels of Wednesday’s selloff when it announced all its children, the banks it shepherds, all passed their stress tests.

    Banks rallied nicely on Thursday as investors cheered the good news.

    But it was fake news.

  • Finding Safe Stocks with Big Dividend Yields

    If you’ve been searching for yield in the bond market you know there’s not much out there to be had.

    Good thing there’s another market where you can find good yielding investments. I’m talking about the stock market.
