In this issue of Investing Daily Dose(IDD):
👑The Dividend Royalty Recap👑
We were reminded again this week of the importance of having a passive-income wealth strategy.
The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report – the most widely used measure of inflation – came in at hotter-than-expected 3.5%.
Barring a “Black Swan” event, the simple truth is that higher prices are here to stay.
And they keep getting higher: Remember that while the Federal Reserve is fighting to “tame” inflation to 2%, that just means prices aren’t rising as fast.
But they’re still rising.
And as the new CPI report underscores, the Fed continues to lose that battle.
That’s the uncomfortable news.
The good news is that a passive-income portfolio can help offset these rising costs.
And in a series of special IDD reports this week, we showed you one way to get started.
We featured three “Dividend Aristocrats” from the ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF NOBL 0.00%↑ as a starting point for your research.
Though a real mouthful of a name, the ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF is a nifty foundational start for for generating passive income.
Still, we believe that the biggest total returns will come to those who own individual stocks.
That’s why we did those three “snapshots” on different Dividend Aristocrats to help you kickstart your own research. You can find the links to those free reports below:
