A New Bull Market for Gold Looks Technically Legit
A lot of attention has been given to the big spike in gold prices this year that has coincided with huge rallies in the bond and equity markets. Typically and historically, these three markets don’t exhibit that kind of correlation. In fact, it is thought that gold prices advance when the rate of inflation rises, […]
Collecting Covered-Call Income from the Clouds
As the second quarter comes to a close and the market is at the midway point of the year, a view of what is working best for generating call option income shows a few sectors outpacing the rest of the market by a wide margin. Roughly half the stocks in the S&P 500 are trading […]
Health Care REITs Offer Income for Dividend-Starved Investors
There are very few issues that Democrats, Republicans, Independents and Libertarians agree on these days, and of the most divisive is the role of health care in America and what form or forms it should take. Government-run versus privately operated or some combination of both has all sides waging a war of rhetoric to shape […]
Getting Four Times the 10-year Treasury Yield from Convertibles
To close out the second quarter of 2019, I want to examine the convertible securities sector for a couple of reasons. First, the fact that market conditions now favor this asset class means that convertible securities deserve our attention. Second, interest rates are trending lower since stocks are trading higher.

Record Dividends and Buybacks Provide Market with Silver Lining
For five weeks, the S&P has slid lower amid trade tensions with China, while the European Union (EU) has continued to devolve into a body that is rapidly losing support as populist and nationalist movements have taken hold throughout Europe. The resignation of British Prime Minister Theresa May brought more uncertainty to the Brexit process […]
Trade War Fuels Fire Under Stable Dividend Plays
People love to talk about winning streaks and why not, it’s a fun topic. Leading up to the month of May, the U.S. stock market had been on one of its own, marking a series of new highs from the first of the year. However, the tide went out of the market in a classic […]
Rising Tariffs Could Prick China’s Real Estate Bubble
Increased volatility is a clear and present danger to investor sentiment after the trade war tension ratcheted up a few notches this past week due to increased tariffs on both U.S. and Chinese goods. Global markets are still betting that a final deal ultimately will be reached, but there is growing evidence that both sides […]
Heady Call Option Income Flows from High-Tech Stocks
The rally has run into some overhead resistance from the escalation of the trade war with China, the S&P is trading at the high end of the price-to-earnings (P/E) range (currently 17X) and we’re heading into the summer months where the market historically has under-performed. At the same time, there is tremendous sales and earnings […]
