4 Dividend Stocks I'm Buying As The 'Big Beautiful Bill' Takes Its Toll
The recent market selloff in dividend stocks, especially REITs and utilities, presents attractive buying opportunities despite broader indices holding up. The House budget bill's rapid rollback of clean energy tax credits triggered a sharp selloff in renewables, but I see this as a long-term buying opportunity. I remain optimistic about renewables due to resilient demand, potential Senate moderation, and likely reinstatement of subsidies if Democrats regain power.

Dividend Investors, It's Time To Raise Cash, Here's Why
Despite my usual inclination to invest in dividend-paying stocks, current market valuations and economic risks lead me to prefer raising cash over investing. The 10-year Treasury yield reflects a tug-of-war between inflation and economic weakness, influenced by tariffs and trade uncertainties. The recent U.S.-U.K. trade deal is a positive development, but it doesn't fully offset the higher tariffs still in place post-"Liberation Day."

6 Dividend Growth Stocks I'm Buying As Tariffs Crush The Economy
President Trump's tariffs are not negotiating tactics, but a protectionist move aimed at reversing globalization and boosting U.S. manufacturing, causing market selloffs. The tariffs will harm U.S. consumers and businesses, raising prices and potentially leading to a recession, with an average household impact of $3,800 annually. Big Tech stocks have been hit the hardest by the tariff threat, with the Nasdaq down nearly 16% and the Magnificent 7 down over 20%.

VUSB: With The Fed Easing, Duration Is Now Key (Rating Downgrade)
VUSB performed well during monetary tightening but is now downgraded to 'Hold' due to lower yields in a monetary easing environment. The interest rate curve has shifted, reducing front-end yields by 90 bps, making VUSB less appealing. VUSB's portfolio is overweight corporate bonds and ABS, with tight credit spreads and a low 30-day SEC yield of 3.74%.
