3 Stocks to Increase Your Dividend Yield,16 AUGUST

 Dividends have been out of fashion for a while. For many years, low and still falling interest rates devalued income producing assets as great returns were to be had on growth stocks. Even this year, with rates moving back to historical norms, growth has been king, but if you are investing for the long term, it is important to understand that that is a trend, part of the cyclicality of markets, but that tried and tested strategies are still your friend. The importance of dividends is one of them.

A study a while back by Hartford Funds revealed something that will probably surprise most investors, and especially those new to the game. From 1960 to 2021 just over 40% of the total gains in stocks were attributable to dividends. That is a huge potential percentage gain that you as an investor would be giving up if the dividend yield of your portfolio isn’t at least around the average for a broad index like the S&P 500. Given the popularity of growth stocks that often don’t pay a dividend at all, I would hazard a guess that this is the case for most investors right now.

With some uncertainty around what the rest of this year will bring for the stock market, now is a good time to redress that imbalance by adding some solid dividend paying stocks to your portfolio. The fact that they have been out of favor for a while means that there is some value to be had in a conventional sense too, so you are not necessarily sacrificing capital growth when you add dividend payers to your holdings. Here are three stocks to consider if you are thinking of doing that:

1. 3M Company (MMM): 3M, best known as the maker of household first aid and adhesive products, has been around since 1902, which is remarkable longevity for a manufacturing company. The stock has dropped more than thirty percent over the last year, though, and not just because of the trend towards growth. They were very hard hit by the post-pandemic supply chain issues which revealed some weaknesses in that area.

That has called into question whether or not the company can continue its 64 year tradition of increasing dividends, but history shows that they have maintained that through much tougher times than this, so probably will this time, too. At current levels the forward dividend yield is right around 6% and a forward P/E below 12 indicates the possibility of capital appreciation to boot.

2. Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD): Energy is a traditional sector in which to look for dividend yield, but the inexorable move away from fossil fuels makes stocks in the industry less attractive from a long-term perspective. However, Pioneer’s balance of oil and natural gas gives them some degree of future proofing, and a forward dividend yield of around 7% is extremely attractive. In this case, too, there is also a good chance of some capital appreciation. PXD is currently trading at a forward P/E of just over 11, with a PEG ratio of around 0.75 when projected growth is factored in.

3. United Parcel Services (UPS): UPS is another company with a history of growing dividends, although their stretch of doing so only dates back around fourteen years. The yield here is not as high, at around 3.7% on a forward basis, but the long-term prospects of the company in a world that is still making the transition to e-commerce adds some very long term prospects of appreciation makes that quite attractive.

These three stocks offer some diversification and long-term growth prospects, so adding the yield doesn’t necessarily mean that you won’t see capital growth over time. However, combining these three stocks with equal weight will give you a small portfolio of dividend payers, with a combined yield of just over 5%, more than enough for you, with reinvested dividends, to take advantage of that 40% of portfolio growth that comes from dividend payers.

MarkZ Wednesday Update- Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member:  Good morning ! Will today be the day?

Member:  Any RV news? Mr. C. said this was tried before and failed. is that possible now? Failure of RV? Or maybe Iraq goes alone?

MZ:  A great video out by MilitiaMan…he always knocks it out of the park. One of the articles he discusses we talked about last evening…is cleaning up…from counterfeit to illegal dinar. They are already taken in $1.4 trillion in dinar off the streets in the last few days. This is part of the same effort to support the value.  We are seeing it left and right.

MZ: Nader came out with one and an article explaining how when they auction dinar to citizens it doesn’t devalue the currency…. Be sure to like and share all their videos. 

MZ: Pretty quiet from the groups, paymasters and bonds….we just hit what they are claiming is the new window yesterday. Bond holders expected to be paid by the 20th…at the latest. 

Member: Rich get paid first and the poor lose everything and be paid last when they need it the most

Member: I still believe it’s a shotgun start and everyone gets paid at the same time 

Member: Even if Iraq goes alone at $1.60 or even 1:1, I'm going to exchange…..

MZ: Run with the fundamentals. Iraq is cleaning dinar off the streets….they are getting rid of corruption….they are trying to control the dinar completely so they can justify a value change…they are working hard towards it…

Member: Unless the US stops the RV again….sigh. 

Member: . CLEAN UP...you will NEVER clean up corruption. You can knock out, perhaps, some of the big ones..Corruption will continue, so get on with the RV already!

Member:  MM said cleaning corruption is on going. Doesn't stop putting rate out

MZ: I believe its going to happen quicker than we think….They will go after the majority of the corruption then release the new rate. I think its imminent. 

MZ: Iraq has put themselves out there with projects …they need that change in value. 

MZ: “Morocco enters race to join BRICS…officially submits application”  and it gets even more fun…” South Africa-8 Arab countries request to join BRICS” 

MZ: We already know that BRICS is expected to control 60% of petroleum reserves and oil production around the world.  This number is going up as more and more countries  join BRICS.  This is a world changer….this is a game changer. 

MZ: In Iraq “ Breaking in Iraq: A large convoy of US trucks and armored vehicles arrives in the Erbil governate autonomous Kurdish region”  This one has me scratching my head as its not an area they would normally settle in….Is this some kind of large exercise that has been not published that we don’t know about???

Member: I heard today, Russia controls the oil in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, that's why 2,500 US armed troops entered Iraq

Member:  Interesting meetings: Jackson Hole after BRICS and G20 9-9 and 9-10

Member: Will the US join BRICS?

MZ: I do not think the Us is going to join BRICS. They may use theier new currency after the petrodollar finally collapses….

Member: By then we better have the USN’s ready to go backed by gold/assets……

Member: The Federal Reserve needs to be shut down… The IRS needs to be shut down also.

Member:  We have to walk through the banking darkness in order to be blessed in the new system.

Member:  Just found out my bank I've been with for 25 years has a wealth management team now. 

Member: Texas gold backed currency goes into effect September 1 ?

Member: I wonder how concerned should we be signing an NDA with a potential "Claw Back" clause in it?

Member: Just stay quiet…..loose lips sink ships. 

Member:  The whole idea that everything has to be “perfect” to move us all forward is frustrating. Nothing had to be “perfect” for the dark forces to move their agendas..

Member: Are we ever going to see arrests of deep state and the RV?????

Member: MarkZ the white hats need to let this R V go now so we can get ready for all this chaos - also so we can help people !!!!!

Member: Maybe they are just fairy tales?    I was really praying they were real. 

Member: White hats where are you?

Member: Just like the movie, A Bugs Life! Once the ants figured out they were powerful in numbers!

Member: Maybe we are going to be the white hats –post RV???

Member: It always helps to envision the lives you’re going to change with the RV

Member: Thanks Mark and Andy…….we appreciate you both.

Evening News with MarkZ 08/15/2023

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: August 15, 1971 is when Nixon tool the US off the Gold Standard………

Member: good Evening everyone……..any big news tonight Mark?

MZ: This one was interesting”  Kurdistan Regional Central Bank distances itself from a vehicle full of cash that overturned: We have nothing to do with it”   The rumor is they were moving cash from Baghdad….or was it part of the effort to clean up dinar…..but they say they know nothing…..like Sargent Shultz on Hogans Heros.  So was it or was it not government money??? This was a big truck full of cash….

MZ: “Iraq approves an agreement with America to form a joint higher committee with the international Coalition”  This is about the US supposed concerns on what happens militarily in Iraq without them….can they protect themselves?  This as Iraq prepares to take ccare of themselves without the US. They want to get rid of the US influence.

MZ: We have the Iraq budget scheduled to release on the 20th.

MZ: it’s exceptionally quiet on the RV front today from groups. Paymasters, bonds…you name it. A lot of them say things appear to be on schedule …but nothing more than that.

MZ: “Inda makes its first crude oil payment to UAE in Indian Rupees”  This story broke today and they have now officially done this. This is all part of the de-dollarization going on around the world.

MZ: “Trading Halt due to market volatility on NASDAQ” They blame a million different things but the DOW dropped 361 points today.  

MZ: “Fitch  warns it may be forced to downgrade dozens of banks including JP Morgan Chase”  The economy is hurting and wall street is pretending it is not. They can only fake it so long before main street dictates to wall street.

Member: I read an article today that the US Army is headed into Iraq. Is the US going to try and start something again to stop Iraq from doing a revaluation?

Member: They have been doing it constantly……..The US is holding up our RV…IMO

Member:  A lot of local banks have been refurbished to small offices and 1 or 2 teller areas…. Upstate rural NY north of Syracuse…

Member: I wonder are we going to see something this month?, or going into next month?.

MZ: I very much think we will see it this month.

Member: I personally am looking for after the BRICS summit next week

Member: Dinar Recaps has two great videos concerning the upcoming BRICS conference. Today’s email sent out video with Alasdair Maclead and one from 8/10 with Jim Rickards. Very informative!!!

MZ: Both of these gentleman are very knowledgeable….

MZ: We have been told that things will appear darkest just before the light…well things appear very dark right now.

Member: 15 years in this currency game and still counting. We are in the best position than we have ever been.

Member: New financial system incoming…. We got this….

Member: Hang in there everyone…..see you in the morning.

 MINISTRY OF FINANCE FINALLY PUBLISHES INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FEDERAL FINANCIAL BUDGET LAW

{Economic: Efrat News} The Ministry of Finance has published instructions for the implementation of the Federal Financial Budget Law, calling on “all ministries, governorates and unrelated entities to review the ministry to receive instructions.”

A statement by the Ministry, a copy of which was received by {Euphrates News}, said: “In view of the approval and publication of the Federal Budget Law of the Republic of Iraq No. (13) for the fiscal years (2023, 201224 and 2025) in the official Iraqi facts sheet issued in June 2013 with number 4726, the Ministry of Finance invites all ministries, governorates, bodies and entities not associated with the Ministry of Attendance to the headquarters of the Ministry of Finance / Budget Department Budget Preparation Section for the purpose of receiving a copy of the instructions for the implementation of the general budget and the instructions for implementing the planning budget for the public sector and self-funded bodies and companies.”

Economist: Washington imposes its authority on Iraqi oil revenues

8-15-2023

Economist - Washington imposes its authority on Iraqi oil revenuesInformation / Baghdad…

Economic affairs researcher Muhammad Al-Saadi explained, on Tuesday, the extent to which it is possible to obtain oil revenues from importing countries directly without placing these funds with the US Federal Bank.

Al-Saadi told Al-Maalouma that “China, India and other Asian countries import Iraqi oil in large quantities, but Iraq receives the revenues through the US Federal Bank, which makes Washington an authority over those revenues.”

He added, “The dollar, as an American currency prohibited in some countries, Iraq can benefit from such a procedure by selling oil in exchange for goods, goods and raw materials needed by the Iraqi industry, or introducing companies from those countries and engaging them in the field of construction, construction and project implementation.”

And he indicated that “the continuation of selling oil in exchange for obtaining dollars may not be a good idea, as it is possible to obtain projects, goods and goods instead of oil revenues in dollar currency.”

He pointed out that “Iraq has large reserves of hard currency with the US Federal Bank.”

Direct focus toward the corrupt and the Iraq Dinar value? BY MILITIAMAN

DINARLAND UPDATE, 16 AUGUST

 Nader From The Mid East

They need to find at least 80% of the money and get it back from them [The corrupt politicians and mafia] back for them to revalue the dinar.

MarkZ

[via PDK]

Comment: [Guru] Nader said, corruption slowed down RV IQD no budget no HCL? [reference Nader post 8-14-2023]

MarkZ:  Remember these are the same stories we saw before the RV is Kuwait…The same stories we saw in China…the same stories we historically see before any revaluation of any currency in the last 100 years.  Could it be a little longer?    It could but I don’t think so…they are desperate and need the rate…

Question:  We have never seen an RV…so how do we know what to expect?  We have seen RV’s (Re-Valuations). We may not have seen a world-wide event…but there have been many RV’s. We saw one in China in the 90’s…We saw Kuwait go through one in 91…in the 1970’s we saw Iraq go through one…After world war 2 we saw Japan go through this…We have seen Germany go through this twice…once after world war 1 and once after world war 2. This is not unprecedented.

I have not heard anything negative…a lot of projects are being funded.  We know that now that money is moving they have go to get a rate change at any moment.

Article Quote:
“The parliamentary economic committee stands with the government and the central bank in fighting the speculators at the exchange rate…”

Everybody’s in agreement we need to fight this parallel market – we need to shut it down. Again, what is the easiest way to shut it down?  Change the exchange rates to a Real Effective Exchange Rate shuts is down.  In a broad sense that’s what they’re actually saying without saying it…

[Financial] systems are in place that have been updated, modified and now they’re waiting for Iraq to be ready to go to the global financial system.  Once they get to that stage they’re going to be an Article VIII IMF compliant currency.  That’s our expectation…That’s what they’ve been saying for quite some time.

If they haven’t gone to the international stage of 1310 and they haven’t done it today, the chances of them doing it are highly unlikely the International world wouldn’t accept Iraq at 1310.
