Two Stocks To Consider During Market Unrest To Provide Income Stability

Investors should remain calm amid market volatility and consider buying during price dips, with 2025 expected to see more turbulence. Kenvue's strong brand portfolio and solid liquidity offer price stability and a 3.59% dividend yield, despite potential headwinds from tariffs and economic slowdown. Altria Group, with its 7% yield and Dividend King status, provides stability and potential upside during economic uncertainty, leveraging its pricing power and recession-proof products.

BKCL:CA: Leveraging Canada's Big 6 In A Possibly Imminent Recession

BKCL:CA is a levered ETF offering a 17.7% yield, enhanced by covered call strategies on Canadian banks, making it a compelling buy for yield-focused investors. Covered call strategies work best in sideways to slightly bullish markets, but can still provide a buffer in falling markets by offsetting some losses. Canadian banks, particularly the Big Six, are resilient with strong capital bases and diversified funding, but face elevated credit risk due to tariffs and potential recession.
