Why Stocks Alone Won’t Help with Rising Costs

Why Stocks Alone Won’t Help with Rising Costs

Brent crude prices touched $100 a barrel again this week after dropping down to just above $70 earlier this month.

The war is back on. Tariffs are back on.

The costs of goods are going to rise from here. It’s not a matter of if, but by how much.

Meanwhile, anyone relying on their investment income to help cover rising costs is out of luck:

The average stock in the S&P 500 pays just 1.09% in dividends to shareholders right now.

These 50-year lows were barely helped by Nvidia’s (NVDArecent dividend hike to $1 per year.

In fact, that increase only gives the chip giant a 0.5% dividend yield.

This is compounded by the fact that, as we’ve covered twice recently, Social Security is becoming less secure.

Fortunately, these are all areas of expertise and intense study by two important folks here at Weiss Ratings.

The first, Dr. Martin Weiss, has spent decades warning about high government debts and the true cost of real inflation.

The other, Safe Money expert Nilus Mattive, even spent time at Standard & Poor’s learning the ins and outs of how investors aren’t getting enough income from their investments.

Back in the shadow of the Great Recession, they first partnered on a special project to help investors juice their investment income.

The strategy has evolved and been perfected. Now, it pays as much as $1,000 or more nearly every Fridaywith a 93.8% win-rate.

On Tuesday, July 28, at 2 p.m. Eastern, Martin and Nilus will share how it works and how you can get started with their “Friday Income Machine.”

I use this strategy personally. And I hope you come to see it for yourself.

Of course, there’s always a lot going on around Weiss Ratings. Here is what else your experts are working on …
