The Smartest Dividend Stocks To Own For What's Coming

Asking 'why' repeatedly is crucial for investors to understand the root causes of macroeconomic shifts and avoid being blind sided by market disruptions. The current U.S. policy shift favors growth over inflation control, increasing risks of higher inflation and short-term debt refinancing challenges. Given these risks, I recommend increasing exposure to real assets, REITs, and cyclical value stocks for inflation protection and potential outperformance.

President Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" Advances in Senate: 3 Stocks I'm Buying Right Now

The Senate just passed an amended version of President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA) in a dramatic 51 to 50 vote early Tuesday morning, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote. While the amended bill must still return to the House for approval -- and faces strong opposition from Elon Musk and concerns about adding $3.3 trillion to the national debt -- clear winners are being created by the $150 billion military spending boost, $46.5 billion for border infrastructure, and targeted tax cuts.
