Why I Just Made That Big Reversal on Income Investing

Advertisement

On Thursday, when I came out with my strategy on how to make cash now, I think that threw a lot of readers for a loop.

What do you mean, there’ll be no traditional dividends?
Are you saying to sell dividend stocks?
You were so excited about them this year. What happened?

So, I wanted to clarify: I’m not backtracking on the value of dividend stocks in a diversified portfolio. Dividend stocks have been incredibly resilient this year, as investors seek the safety of high dividend-paying stocks amidst the market’s volatility. It’s why I still recommend several Elite Dividend Payers, particularly in my large-cap portfolios.

I just want to remind you that these are unprecedented times.

Many investors lost their profits once inflation surged and stocks fell into a bear market this year – and many companies continue to struggle to remain profitable in the current inflationary environment.

If you’re looking to catch up on lost profits, secure your retirement, and even splurge for that new car, all of these goals are very attainable with the right strategy.

It’s just that most dividend payouts aren’t big enough for any of that.

Let’s say you need $6,000 in income next month. That’s reasonable, right? In fact, I’m sure it sounds modest to many of you.

Well, to make $6,000 from dividends, you might need to invest $100,000… for a whole year. That would be a 6% yield.

And, to be frank, 6% in dividends alone is pretty darn good these days! (At least, from a stable company. Yield-seekers can find fatter payouts… but in an economic downturn, they often come from companies in a dangerous, desperate sort of position.)

So, I’ll continue to recommend great dividend stocks where I find them – just not necessarily for my Make Cash Now Project.

If you follow me here at Market360 or my other newsletters, you’ll recall my goal with dividends is a little different. And it’s like the big fund managers on Wall Street play it: Use their payouts to help “smooth out” returns over time.

In other words, the dividend payout is more of a hedge against volatility. Not what pays your bills. Growth is what does that.

This is why, even when I recommend Elite Dividend Payers, I’m talking about growth stocks that also pay dividends.

There’s another important distinction I’d like to make, between what we’ll do in my Make Cash Now Project and what I recommend anywhere else…

Secure Your Financial Future In Weeks Or Months – Not Years

People have used my quantitative system to invest in blue chip stocks or to find small caps that can grow 10X. But now I’ve adjusted my proven investing analysis to focus on the stocks that are set to soar… like coiled springs… in just a short time period.

You won’t have to wait years for double- and even triple-digit returns with my Make Cash Now Project. I’ve designed it so you can get the income you need on a regular basis. And no: It doesn’t require using options or any “trick” investing.

So many investors have spent years getting lousy market returns and now they need a strategy to catch-up to live the life they’ve always dreamed.

Let’s look at a couple examples of stocks that signaled they were about to liftoff, to see what we can learn.

Baozun (NASDAQ:BZUN)

Country: China
Industry: E-Commerce – Retail
Buy Signal: April 5, 2017

I said: “In the fourth quarter 2016, Baozun’s sales increased 25.2% year-over-year to $183.3 million, while earnings surged 358.8% year-over-year to $8.8 million. Earnings per share were $0.18, which topped analysts’ estimates by a penny. For the first quarter 2017, the analyst community is expecting 20.2% annual sales growth and 75% annual earnings growth. BZUN is a buy.”

Outcome: BZUN 38% by June, 132% by August

Chart showing Baozun being up 132% in 3 months time

Shire (NASDAQ:SHPG)

Country: U.K./Ireland
Industry: Pharmaceuticals
Buy Signal: March 26, 2014

I said: “The company is best-known for its strong position in the ADHD market, with drugs like Vyvanse, Intuniv and Adderall XR. In the fourth quarter, the company’s sales rose 12% to $1.33 billion and its operating earnings rose 36% to $2.26 per share compared with the same quarter a year ago. The company also provided positive sales and earnings guidance, and I want to use the recent dip that we’ve seen in the biotech sector as a chance to add Shire to the Buy List.”

Outcome: SHPG 68% by July

Chart showing Shire plc up 68% in 17 weeks

SINA Corporation (NASDAQ:SINA)

Country: China
Industry: Online Media
Buy Signal: Dec. 20, 2016

I said: “The company operates SINA.com (portal) and SINA.cn (mobile portal) as well as social media network, Weibo.com. During the third quarter, SINA reported a 21% increase in total revenues and a 21% jump in advertising revenues. Income from operations surged 147%. For the fourth quarter, the analyst community is expecting 60% annual earnings growth and 18.6% annual sales growth. Analysts have also revised their earnings estimates 19% higher in the past three months, so another quarterly earnings surprise is likely.”

Outcome: SINA 23% two months later; up 41% from mid-May to June alone

Chart showing SINA Corp. up 41% in just 7 weeks

If you’re like most investors, you’ve never heard much about those companies – if any.

And even when you do hear about hot growth stocks… it’s usually after they make a big move. But as we just saw, if you can find the right stock BEFORE that next major event… you can make large gains in a much shorter period of time.
