Tariffied? 3 Of The Smartest Dividend Stocks To Buy Right Now
Last week was extremely volatile, with significant market swings driven by political and macroeconomic news, leading to the highest volatility since the Great Financial Crisis. The market is currently in an event-driven correction due to tariffs, with a deeply bearish sentiment, which is a positive contrarian signal for buying. Policy support remains uncertain, but potential positive developments in tariff negotiations and growth rates could fuel a market recovery.

Buy, Buy, Bad Week. Time To Get Greedy
This week has been one of the most intense of my career, with daily political headlines and market records being broken. I invested more than half my cash, expanding positions. While the market experienced extreme volatility, the recent 90-day tariff pause and lower inflation offer some relief. The drop in long-term yields could also provide more stability for the market. Although I'm not convinced we'll reach all-time highs anytime soon, I remain focused on quality dividend/value stocks, as strategic, long-term investing in this environment can offer great opportunities.

Chaos Breeds Bargains! Here's What I'm Buying
My portfolio took a major hit on April 3 and 4, with losses surpassing previous records. Yet, despite the pain, I remain optimistic. Market corrections are essential for long-term wealth building. Though short-term declines are difficult, I view them as opportunities to improve my risk/reward and income potential. I'm eyeing undervalued opportunities, especially cyclical stocks. The current market weakness, amplified by tariffs, offers great buying potential for stocks like Union Pacific and Prologis, and many others.
