 Dear Reader, I’ve been getting lots of questions about my upcoming All-Weather Income Strategy Summit on June 24. Let me answer the most common ones with a short FAQ before I return to my research. Question 1: You’re warning about a recession but you’re also saying I can earn profits while it happens. Shouldn’t the goal be to minimize losses during the bear market? My Answer: My All-Weather Income Strategy lets you do both. With the safest, most stable dividend stocks you’re prepared and protected against the ravages of the bear market. Getting those stocks at the most attractive price gives you maximum safety and a higher yield too. So you’re not only maximizing your safe income, you’re best positioned for the springboard effect these stocks enjoy even as the rest of the market drops. Question 2: Do you think the biggest names like FAANGs will be good all-weather stocks? My Answer: Many of the FAANG stocks are priced for perfection. They’re more likely to underperform, never mind keep pace with the rest of the market as it drops. History has shown us that market leaders don’t fare well over complete market cycles (from bull to bear and back to a bull market). From one decade to the next, between 7 and 8 of the 10 biggest household-name stocks disappear from the leaderboard completely. FAANG stocks typically aren’t high-yielding income stocks either, which adds to their unattractiveness. Question 3: Investing in dividend stocks seems like a good strategy, but if it’s so obvious then why aren’t more people buying them? My Answer: Because most retail investors think the party (or the misery) will never end. That’s why small investors are notorious for buying the tops and selling the bottoms of markets. Doing well with an investment—including all-weather dividend stocks—means buying ahead of the crowd. More people will be buying dividend stocks at some point, sure. But not early enough. The whole point of my Summit is to get you moving into the right stocks for all the right reasons BEFORE the herd. That way you minimize your chance of losses and maximize your potential gains. Question 4: Why not just find some good dividend stocks with a Google search and go with those? My Answer: Because you can’t be sure of what the author considers a “good” dividend stock. Is he or she selecting purely for high yield? That can be a catastrophe since some high-yield stocks are at risk of dividend cuts if their yield is unsustainable. There’s also a risk in picking “popular” dividend stocks. Is the author just aiming for household names? Often these are the companies which are the most overvalued. So it’s harder to get market-beating yield or significant capital gains from them. That’s why you need to be sure of the research and methodology behind each pick rather than just making your choices from someone’s latest “Top 10 Dividend Stocks” list. Question 5: Why are you the guy to be recommending these ideas anyway? My Answer: Well, I’ve been endorsed by Jared Dillian, Grant Williams, and John Mauldin himself. They’re hard guys to impress. I’ve also had the privilege of hearing and speaking to some serious financial heavyweights. They include everyone from famed hedge fund manager Kyle Bass to Charles Schwab Chief Investment Strategist Liz Ann Sonders. I even met George W. Bush at the most recent SIC in Dallas this past May. As far as my background is concerned, I’ve been a serious income investor since The Great Recession. The performance of my Yield Shark portfolio over the last twelve months has given readers the opportunity to earn an average return of 8%. The S&P 500 averaged -0.1% over this same time period. If that’s not enough reason to make you want to attend my upcoming All-Weather Income Strategy Summit, how about this: I’ll be giving you all the details on an overlooked (yet recession-proof) sector including one of my favorite stocks from that sector. You’ll get everything you need to know, including the ticker symbol, of this high-yield, low-risk company. The end result of the Summit is that you should be fully informed about what’s coming. You’ll understand why I’ve picked this particular sector and stock and why you can feel confident going forward. In short, you’ll have a plan to address the coming recession plus the 12–18 months before it arrives. My goal is to prepare you with a strategy to… a) minimize losses with a high degree of safety while b) giving you the best chance of earning above-average cash income and capital gains even during a bear market. I hope to see you at the Summit on June 24! Reserve your spot today. Until next time,
