AbbVie scores blockbuster approval for RA med Rinvoq, its crucial Humira follow-up
Aug 16, 2019

On Friday, the FDA greenlighted Rinvoq, a rheumatoid arthritis med meant to succeed best-selling Humira as copycats bite into its sales. The new product should be available in the U.S. by late August, AbbVie said.

Rinvoq bears a list price of $59,000, which "is lower than the current leading treatments for moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis," an AbbVie spokeswoman said by email. The company “continues to work closely with key stakeholders to support patient access to Rinvoq, including offering a patient support program and a co-pay card that may reduce out-of-pocket costs to $5 per month for eligible, commercially-insured patients," AbbVie said in a statement.

3 High Quality Dividend Aristocrats For Long-Term Dividend Growth
August 17, 2019

The Bottom Line
Uncertainty has gripped the stock market in recent weeks, as the trade conflict escalates between the U.S. and some of its major trading partners including China. In addition, the global economy may be slowing down. All of this poses a challenge for multinational companies. In times of uncertainty, investors should focus on quality.

Johnson & Johnson, Genuine Parts, and 3M have stood the test of time by paying dividends for decades. Each stock has a yield of nearly 3% or above and has increased its dividend for at least 50 consecutive years. All three stocks should continue to raise their dividends for years to come.

The 10 Best Construction Stocks For Dividends And Growth
August 26th, 2019

• Sherwin-Williams (SHW)
• Deere & Company (DE)
• Johnson Controls (JCI)
• Williams-Sonoma (WSM)
• Home Depot (HD)
• Lowe’s Companies (LOW)
• Whirlpool (WHR)
• Leggett & Platt (LEG)
• Caterpillar (CAT)
• Fluor Corporation (FLR)

Final Thoughts
While construction stocks can be cyclical and sometimes volatile, they also offer investors access to long-term macroeconomic demand factors. The companies listed here represent different ways for investors to capitalize on construction in various capacities, and are strategically aligned to long-term economic forces.

These companies should maintain profitability and dividend payments under all but the worst economic circumstances. Most offer decent returns, but some offer double-digit total return potential.

We rank Fluor, Caterpillar and Leggett & Platt as the strongest picks for investors looking to gain exposure to what should be a booming industry for decades to come (except during recessions, when investors must hold to take advantage of prosperous times). These are stocks one can buy and own for a very long time to come.

 

[Mr. Wood]

When it comes to dividend stocks, there is often a trade-off between yield and safety. In many cases, the higher the yield, the less secure that payment tends to be, and vice-versa.

Intuitively, this makes sense. If a company is only paying out 10% of its earnings in the form a dividend, a whole lot has to go wrong in order for that payment to be in jeopardy.

On the other end of the spectrum, if a high-yield stock is paying out 100% of its earnings as dividends, even a small hiccup in the business can put the dividend in danger of being reduced.

3 High Quality Dividend Stocks With 5%+ Yields

• AT&T (T)
• Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.B)
• Altria (MO)

Final Thoughts

In short, the three companies above offer starting dividend yields in excess of 5% with strong underlying business models to boot. This does not mean that the securities must perform well in the future. However, there is a precedent for the strong income streams leading the way for reasonable or better returns. If you’re looking for an above average income stream – and particularly if you don’t want to be forced to sell shares in the future – these securities offer a nice starting list for that endeavor.

The Basics of REIT Investing for Passive Income
August 28, 2019

Final Thoughts

Real estate has proven to be a great way to build long term wealth and a steady and growing stream of passive income. With access to publicly traded REITs, every investor can begin building wealth and an entirely passive income stream today. In fact, many investors would be better served over the long term by investing solely in REITs instead of physical real estate.

Despite this, many investors lack the proper mentality to invest in publicly traded securities as they will panic at the first sign of extreme market volatility and sell their REIT shares at a loss. Other investors prefer to have as much control as possible over their investments and therefore also prefer to invest in physical real estate. For those that can handle the volatility and prefer total passivity to their income-generating investments, however, REITs are the ideal passive income generating investment.
