Why Dividends Matter, Even The Little Ones Dividends provide a reliable income stream, especially during tough economic times, alleviating financial pressure without the need to sell shares. Persistent inflation makes dividend income increasingly valuable, as it offers stability when market returns are volatile or negative. Investing in well-established, high-yield dividend companies with strong cash flows can ensure a steady income and reduce financial stress. seekingalpha.com - 1 week ago
Inflation Isn't Dead Yet US equity markets flirted with fresh record-highs this week while benchmark interest rates hovered around two-month lows as investors weighed positive earnings news against uncomfortable hot inflation data.

Snapping a two-week losing streak, the S&P 500 rebounded by 1.5%, closing fractionally below its prior record-high set in late January. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 rallied nearly 3%. seekingalpha.com - 2 weeks ago

Ares Commercial: The Worst Could Be Ahead ACRE's heavy exposure to distressed asset classes like office, multifamily, and hotels, coupled with rising delinquencies, justifies a Sell rating.
