We’re into the seventh year of zero percent interest rates, and income investors are wondering out loud when that string will be broken by the Fed looking to hike the Fed Funds Rate as early as September. If they do decide to raise rates, it will be by a quarter point, or 25 basis points. […]
Camped-out Stable Dividend Stocks within Volatile Markets
It doesn’t take much to rattle the nerves of the most strident investors when what are seemingly unthinkable scenarios unfold within days of each other; the resultant effect can be a huge spike in market volatility that sends investors running for Mount Cash.

Looking Past Greece to America’s Heartland
The bell is about to toll regarding the future direction of Greece’s role in the euro zone, be it a compliant role of fiscal responsibility or a radical role that will lead to an exit as a member with draconian capital controls being imputed upon it by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and European Central […]

The much-anticipated June meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) came and went with few if any surprises.

The Fed Can Take the Summer off
The Federal Reserve has made it succinctly clear that future action on fiscal policy is data dependent. Well, if that’s the case, then the U.S. central bank may as well head off to the Hamptons for the summer months because “the data” have offered nothing to write home about. Markets have been pressing higher in […]
Income Generation from Market Volatility
One could argue that current markets both in the United States and abroad are trading as if volatility won’t rear up again at some point. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) is trading down near its historic low, currently at a reading of 12.00. It’s as if there will never be another Ebola breakout, a major […]
Looking for Any Reason to Break Out
Last Thursday, the S&P 500 established a new all-time closing high of 2,121 as a result of yet another soft piece of data, this time the Producer Price Index for April, which came in at -0.4% versus economists’ forecast of 0.2%.
