Artesian Resources Vs. Essential Utilities: Why I Swapped
Artesian Resources currently offers a conservative balance sheet, attractive valuation, and tangible growth opportunities, making it a compelling Buy at ~$31. Essential Utilities has shown stronger historical growth, but now carries higher leverage and valuation multiples, limiting its near-term upside. This one's a Hold at ~$38. Artesian's lower debt profile should provide greater financial flexibility going forward, while WTRG's broader footprint and capital commitments pose higher risks.

8 Stocks I'm Buying Amid A Market Rotation Toward Dividend Stocks
The market is rotating towards non-tech dividend stocks, with dividend ETFs outperforming the Magnificent 7 so far this year. Elon Musk's DOGE initiative is more political theater than a serious effort, in my opinion, to reduce government waste, with exaggerated savings claims. Key economic metrics to monitor include housing starts, the Dallas Fed Weekly Economic Index, the Conference Board Coincident Index, total employment, and industrial production.

7 Stocks And 1 ETF I'm Buying As Inflation Is Lower Than It Looks
The January 2025 CPI report shows inflation isn't in a sustained rebound, with temporary factors like shelter CPI, wildfires, and bird flu driving higher-than-expected inflation. The labor market shows mixed signals, with private sector hiring slowing but government hiring and residential construction employment remaining strong. Deportations could change this. The stock market appears richly valued across most sectors, not just the top 10 mega-cap names, warranting caution despite some undervalued opportunities.

10 Stocks I'm Buying As A New Government Takes Power
Global warming isn't just a "woke" issue; it has real financial implications for energy investments. DOGE has lofty and worthy goals, but the reality is that Congress controls the purse strings. Delayed Onset Tariff Syndrome (DOTS) will impact global trade and investment strategies. Exactly how remains in question.

7 Stocks I'm Buying Amid This Goldilocks (For Now) Economy
There is an often overlooked difference between income investing and dividend growth investing. The two are not the same. Timely charts showing that inflation is even more subdued than the official CPI metrics show, but also what threatens to disrupt the disinflationary trend. A discussion of three books dividend growth investors would benefit from reading. Only one is specifically about dividend growth investing.

A Dozen Stocks I'm Buying As Rising Interest Rates Break The Market
Interest rate peaks often cause short-term S&P 500 selloffs, especially for REITs. I retain hope that REITs may decouple from 10-year Treasury yields once rates stabilize. Baby Boomers' economic impact is profound, influencing inflation, wages, and consumption patterns, with Millennials having a smaller effect at later ages in life. Debating whether dividend growth investors should buy Magnificent 7 stocks, I find GOOGL compelling for its reasonable valuation and growth potential.

10 Stocks I'm Buying As REITs Have Never Looked So Good
The recent market selloff, driven by the Fed's revised rate-cut forecast, has made high-quality REITs attractively priced for long-term dividend growth investors. Despite poor stock price performance, REITs have strong fundamentals, with favorable earnings yield spreads and dividend yields compared to the broader market. REITs are undervalued due to being treated as bond proxies, but their strong commercial real estate fundamentals and historical outperformance post-Fed rate cuts suggest a buying opportunity.
