Traditionally, a large portion of equity returns has come from two factors - reinvested dividends and compounding. We present two income-focused approaches: a fund-based portfolio for hands-off investors and a stock-plus-ETF portfolio for active investors.

Buy 7 Ideal 'Safer' May Dividends, Out Of 40 Reader Tags
My yield-based 'dogcatcher' strategy spotlights high-yield stocks whose dividends from $1,000 invested exceed their share price, favoring underdogs for income growth. Analyst targets project average net gains of 41.9% for the top ten May 2025 ReFa/Ro Dogs, with Oxford Lane Capital leading at 83.4% upside potential. All ten top ReFa/Ro Dogs currently meet my 'ideal' criteria, but caution is warranted as several have negative free cash flow margins, signaling cash-poor status.

Caterpillar To Lead Dividend Increases In June As Lowe's Boosted Payout At End Of May
Dividend growth remains robust for select companies, with Casey's, Oil-Dri, and Matson poised for double-digit increases based on strong earnings and expansion. Caterpillar and Kroger are expected to deliver mid-to-high single-digit dividend hikes, reflecting solid but moderating earnings and macroeconomic headwinds. Target and John Wiley will likely announce minimal dividend increases, as flat sales and earnings pressure payout growth, but their long streaks of increases remain intact.
