Forget Gold, Buy Dividends - 3 Great Places To Buy Income
Gold is experiencing a strong rally, with rising demand due to economic uncertainty and market volatility. However, despite its appeal as a safe haven, I prefer dividend stocks over gold. Gold has a long history of preserving wealth, but it lacks the consistent returns and cash flow that dividend stocks provide. I believe high-quality dividend stocks are better investments. Real estate, energy, and utilities offer the highest yields, and I particularly favor midstream energy companies and safe net lease REITs. These stocks offer steady income and growth potential.

Kinder Morgan Remains Bullish on Natural Gas Demand. Is It Time to Buy the Stock?
Kinder Morgan (KMI 3.24%) started the year showing only modest growth in its first quarter, although that was largely attributable to a turnaround at its condensate processing facility, which is required only once every 10 years. Nonetheless, with this maintenance work comes lost profits from the plant being shut down.
