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.

Dividend yield remains enticing at 12%, now paid monthly, with ample undistributed taxable income supporting continued stable payouts and supplemental dividends.
