Dividend Harvesting Portfolio Week 214: $21,400 Allocated, $2,152.32 In Projected Dividends
Liberation Day saw markets plummet due to reciprocal tariffs, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq falling by approximately 7.9%, erasing last year's gains. Despite the market's knee-jerk reaction, I believe there isn't enough data to support the rapid descent in equities and remain optimistic. The Dividend Harvesting Portfolio experienced its largest weekly loss but continues to generate significant dividend income, reinforcing my confidence in its long-term strategy.

British American Tobacco's Huge Yield Is Safe for Now, But Keep an Eye on This Troubled Division
The big reason to buy British American Tobacco (BTI -4.63%) is its lofty 7.1% dividend yield. That's an attractive yield, but the broader market is yielding something around 1.2%, and the average consumer staples stock's yield is 2.6%.

Trump Tariffs Drama: Staples Companies To The Rescue?
President Trump's “Liberation Day” announcement rattled the market, leaving only few stocks in the green. The likelihood of a stagflationary environment and recession has increased significantly.
