What I'm Recommending TODAY in My Brand New High Yield Letter

Mike Larson

I just put the finishing touches on my latest, hot-off-the-presses issue of High Yield Investing. And I have to tell you, I’m as excited about this brand new letter as I’ve been about any investing product in years.

That’s because it’s the culmination of months of tireless research by my team and I. Our goal? To perfect a process for identifying the most promising dividend-paying investments … with the highest possible yields … and the greatest ability to sustain those generous payouts over time.

If you’re already on board with High Yield Investing, fantastic! Look for your issue in a few short hours. If you’re not yet signed up, I implore you not to wait much longer! All you have to do is click here or call us at 877-934-7778 to get started, and save 40% in the process.

Why the sense of urgency? First, because the backdrop for high-yield investing is rock-solid …

  • The Federal Reserve raised interest rates again in June, extending its streak to four hikes. But long-term bond prices have generally remained flat, while dividend-paying stock sectors have trended higher.
  • Energy prices have dropped in recent weeks, hurting the value of some oil-and-gas-related securities. But the credit markets overall have remained sanguine, with little sign of the energy-driven contagion selling that rocked the junk bond market in 2014-2015.
  • As for stocks, they’ve been chopping around for the last few weeks. But volatility remains low, economic growth remains decent, and none of my “early warning” indicators of significant future market or credit turmoil are flashing yellow, much less red.

More importantly, this about-to-be-released issue contains three brand NEW recommendations. It also has re-recommendations of picks from my inaugural issue – picks that are either already headed in the right direction or primed with massive profit potential. I’d love for you to get your hands on those.

Naturally, I can’t share their precise names, ticker symbols, and target “buy” prices here. That wouldn’t be fair to my paying subscribers, and I’m sure you understand.

But I CAN tell you HOW I come up with my picks – and explain the rigorous, five-point culling process that each and every core recommendation needs to survive …

First, each stock must earn a Weiss Rating of at least a “C-” (HOLD). No SELLS and no junk stocks will find their way in. Candidates also need to trade at least an average of 50,000 shares per day, and sport a market capitalization of at least $50 million. That eliminates thinly traded names that aren’t ready for the major leagues.

Second, each stock has to yield at least as much as the S&P 500 … and up to 4X greater than it. The research my team and I conducted found these kinds of equities offer the best combination of yield, performance, and dividend sustainability.

Third, the company has to have grown its dividend by at least 10% over the past three years. That demonstrates a management commitment to consistent, rising payouts.

Fourth, the stock has to meet one of two dividend sustainability tests. One test compares trailing 12-month dividends to free cash flow. Another test compares trailing 12-month dividends to net income per share. I’m looking for companies in the dividend “sweet spot” – those with relatively high, but reliable, payouts.

Fifth, the stock has to pass two technical screens designed to weed out stocks with either too little momentum or too much risk of future volatility. More specifically, the 20-day moving average must be above the 100-day MA and the Relative Strength Index must be less than 80.

I’m convinced that investments passing these tests offer the best combination of risk and reward in this environment. And I look forward to bringing you more of them today, next month, and beyond!

Until next time,

Mike
