Market Volatility Bulletin: Is The Long Bond Yield Too Low Relative To Inflation And GDP Growth?
Market Intro
CNBC: 1:37PM EST
US stocks (SPY, DIA, QQQ, IWM) are following the broader global trend (ACWX) of drifting in Wednesday's session; spot VIX sports an 11-handle amidst the decreasing concern over trade tensions.
While domestic equities mostly trade within a stone's throw of all-time highs, international stocks are still down about 10% as a group from 52-week levels.
Volatility readings have been challenged in part not only by the upward trajectory of the S&P 500, but by the disparity of the performance between sectors.
Bear in mind that the financial sector (XLF) is much larger in terms of its weighting than the real estate sector (XLRE), but this kind of meandering, independent performance from sector to sector... more

My First 3 Years With SCHD As A Dividend Growth Investment
This is the third annual review of my ownership of Schwab’s U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEARCA: SCHD).
Most of my dividend growth investments are individual stocks. However, I developed an interest in dividend ETFs a few years ago after realizing that I am not getting any younger, and knowing that my wife will not want to manage our investments the way I do when I can no longer do it.
Therefore I studied about 20 dividend ETFs. My goal was to identify low-maintenance dividend growth investments that she can continue with confidence.
In my studies, SCHD emerged as the one that most closely matched my own approach to dividend growth investing. For example, its stocks are selected based not only on dividend statistics (including 5-year dividend growth rates), but also on... more

Wells Fargo: Dividend Yield And Share Buyback Program Make It A Buy
It's been a tough year for Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC). The banking giant is still reeling from the effects of its account scandal from two years ago, which earned it the largest banking fine in the country's history. A slew of fines, investigations and regulatory actions culminated in the Fed prohibiting Wells from growing its balance sheet, and unprecedented action, which effectively ground to a halt the bank's growth prospects.
Wells Fargo's latest quarter is an unfortunate continuation of this trend. While most companies and banks have been reporting blowout quarters, as improving economic conditions and tax reforms propelled strong revenue and earnings growth, Wells was unable to deliver. Both revenue and EPS were below consensus, and both are either flat-lining or... more

I'm Buying Malls With Yields Up To 15%
Buy assets when they are offered on the cheap, sell them when the market euphoria takes over. Simple logic, yet so often misapplied in the market place.
Just have a look at the FANG stocks , Facebook (FB), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG) and Netflix (NFLX).

Investors are clearly excited about high-tech growth companies, perhaps too much if you ask me. Look at these valuation multiples:

Written by Bob Ciura for Sure Dividend
Shares of consumer products giant Kimberly-Clark (KMB) have declined over 10% year to date, while the S&P 500 is up about 5% so far in 2018. Kimberly-Clark’s deep underperformance comes as the company struggles with rising raw materials costs and weak pricing in the U.S., its core market.
