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.

IDEX delivers steady cash flow and high margins from niche industrial markets, supported by a diversified portfolio and mission-critical products. Financial health is robust, with strong free cash flow, moderate leverage, and consistent shareholder returns via dividends and buybacks.

Buried Under Fear: One Of The Best Opportunities I've Seen In Years
I focus on anticipating market shifts, applying a big-picture, thematic approach to find alpha where others aren't looking. Despite market fragility and high valuations, I'm actively buying cyclical dividend growth stocks before broader sentiment turns positive. Early signs of economic improvement suggest cyclical sectors, especially industrials and transportation, offer exceptional long-term risk/reward.
