Sjuggerud: Three of the best dividend stocks you can buy today

Posted: 02 Jul 2015 10:31 AM PDT

From Steve Sjuggerud, Editor, True Wealth:

Most investors buy stocks for either growth or income. But in rare cases, you can have both…

Three major companies are paying extreme yields and beating the market this year. They’re large caps you’ve likely heard of before… but probably never realized pay out these kinds of dividends.

Let me explain…

The companies in the table below are true large-cap stocks. They come from different industries and share little in common as businesses. But they all share two traits – they’re paying hefty yields and beating the S&P 500 handily in 2015. Take a look…

Position	Ticker	Market Cap (Billions)	Dividend Yield	Price-to-Earnings Ratio	Year-to-Date Performance
Blackstone Group	BX	$49	6.3%	11.8	30%
AT&T	T	$182	5.4%	14.8	10%
General Motors	GM	$58	4.0%	8.7	6%
S&P 500	2.0%	18.8	4%
www.stansberryresearch.com

All of these companies pay yields that are at least double the S&P 500. Surprisingly, these companies are also cheap, based on earnings. They trade for discounts of 21%-54% below the S&P 500.

The first of these businesses is Blackstone Group (BX)… which is another great way to play today’s housing boom.

Blackstone is one of the planet’s biggest “alternative” asset managers. The company invests in private equity, real estate, hedge funds, and high-yield credit funds.

Although diversified, much of Blackstone’s profits come from its real estate investments. And it’s those profits that allow the company to pay out big 6.3% dividends to shareholders.

The next two are more common household names…

AT&T (T) is a cable, Internet, and communications giant. It’s not every day you run across a $182 billion company paying out 5%-plus in dividends. Regardless of how AT&T finishes out the year, it’s hard to ignore that kind of income.

The last big income producer is General Motors (GM). GM is one of the world’s largest auto manufacturers. It earns billions of dollars in profits each year and pays a solid 4% dividend right now.

Most importantly, these companies are all outperforming the S&P 500 this year. Blackstone, in particular, is soaring. Take a look…

Not only do these companies pay extremely high yields… but they’re delivering capital gains as well. You haven’t missed it yet, though. They’re still cheaper than the stock market.

It’s rare to find a group of multibillion-dollar companies offering growth and income. But that’s exactly what we have today with these three. If you’re looking for safe income, with upside, check these three names out.

Good investing,

Steve

P.S. If you haven’t seen my warning about a new global currency rule that’s rumored to go into effect this October, I urge you to check out my latest interview. If you own U.S. assets – stocks, bonds, real estate, or just cash in the bank… you must be aware of this huge upcoming change. You can get all the details in my interview right here.

Rick Rule: A 'once-in-a-decade' opportunity in the oil sector

Posted: 02 Jul 2015 09:34 AM PDT

From Henry Bonner in Sprott’s Thoughts:

“Midstream” oil stocks are this attractive about once every decade, says Rick Rule, Chairman of Sprott U.S. Holdings.

In a recent round-table with Byron King (Agora Financial) and Matt Badiali (Stansberry Research), Rick explained why he’s looking at one segment of the oil sector. You can listen to his full comments here (registration required):

Midstream companies are involved in processing and transportation of oil and gas. These companies have been popular with investors because they may be less risky and volatile than exploration and production companies.

They tend to make money through long-term transportation contracts that are “insulated” from oil price swings.

In particular, Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) own transportation infrastructure such as pipelines and charge oil companies to move oil and gas to market. These companies pass on their revenues to shareholders, which can lead to large dividends with moderate exposure to oil and gas prices.

The last major opportunity for MLPs was in March 2009, after the financial crisis cut down energy prices and stocks. The Alerian MLP index, which tracks 50 prominent companies in the sector, rose 356% from then through September 2014.

MLPs are not completely independent of oil prices. Since September, the Alerian MLP Index is down around 25%. Last year, Boardwalk Pipeline Partners cut its payout to investors by 80% after it failed to renew its existing contracts with oil producers.

Rick sees this as a good chance to start buying MLPs as they’re still generating attractive yields. The Alerian MLP Index pays a 6.29% yield as of June 29, versus 2.04% for the broad stock market (as represented by the S&P 500).

“We are seeing returns of 6% cash already, and MLPs will be able to grow their topline free cash flows,” says Rick.

He believes that some MLPs will be able to pay out even more thanks to today’s ultra-low interest rates. MLPs can borrow cheaply to acquire new assets from distressed sellers – groups that are “monetizing” their processing and transportation assets to pay salaries.

MLPs can increase their payouts from here if they act aggressively and use low interest rates to fund acquisitions, says Rick.

Rick also believes there is an opportunity to fund exploration and production in oil and gas, by lending money or acquiring stakes in projects.

Bankers are less willing to lend money for oil production now. As Rick explained, during the last few years where oil prices were high, individual bankers often booked big bonuses for making loans to oil and gas firms. Their bonuses didn’t depend on how well those loans performed over the long haul, so this led to lower standards and excessive credit being extended for oil and gas.

Now that returns are being affected by low oil prices, banks will probably revise their incentive structures, so that individual bankers will not pour as much money into oil and gas.

At the same time, financial regulations known as “Basel III” discourage the largest banks from lending to private companies – like those in the oil and gas sector.

Rick explained how this works:

Banks have different reserve requirements for different classifications of loans.

If Deutsche Bank, which is one of the major capital banks, makes a loan to Shell or Exxon, they have to make a provision for that loan on their balance sheets. They have to set aside 7% or 8% of the value of that loan (in case it goes bad).

By contrast, if they were lending money to a sovereign entity – even Greece, Ireland, or Portugal – the bank doesn’t need to have any provision for that loan so long as they purport to hold that loan to maturity, irrespective of its market valuation in the future.

So a bank can borrow cash from depositors at 1% and lend it out to a sovereign borrower at, say, 3.5%, picking up 2.5% without having to reserve any space on its balance sheet.

So the incentives are increasing for big banks to make sovereign loans as opposed to loans to private companies (where they would have to make higher loss provisions).

Now that banks are less interested in making loans to oil and gas companies, this can be a good opportunity to step in as a lender, says Rick.

You see, some oil and gas companies stand to lose their drilling rights on a property if they do not go through with drilling. In some cases, they may have spent $1 million or more preparing a property for a drill program. That money has gone into administration, exploration, 3D seismic, or geophysical surveys.

That investment will go to waste if the company loses its drilling rights, so investors can obtain favorable terms if they choose to participate, says Rick.

“The industry has ‘down’ cycles. Being aggressive during those down cycles and then profiting during the last three upcycles is what made me rich,” Rick comments.

Meet us in Vancouver this summer, at the Sprott-Stansberry Vancouver Natural Resource Symposium. Rick will be hosting the event and speaking with investors at length.

Bearish pattern in S&P confirmed... Here's how to profit

Posted: 02 Jul 2015 08:28 AM PDT

From Jeff Clark, Editor, Stansberry Short Report:

The stock market is likely headed lower over the next few weeks…

Last week, I told you a “Head and Shoulders Top” pattern was forming on the chart of the S&P 500. This is a bearish pattern that often signals the end of a bull trend and the beginning of a bear trend. And it can lead to large, fast gains for folks willing to bet on the downside.

Now, this pattern is playing out. And traders are getting the chance to profit…

Take a look at this updated chart of the S&P 500…

On Monday, the index broke down from the Head and Shoulders Top pattern. The target for this downside move is about 2,038. But we could see the S&P 500 fall all the way to 1,990 over the next several weeks if we get a particularly hard decline.

Of course, it won’t be a straight shot lower. We’re going to get violent bounces off of oversold conditions.

That’s how traders can profit on the short side.

Traders who want to profit on the short side need to be nimble. They need to take profits when the market gets oversold and is approaching logical support levels… then look to re-short as the index bounces back toward resistance.

For example, traders who shorted the market last week in anticipation of the Head and Shoulders Top pattern playing out should have locked in profits on Monday’s big drop.

Monday’s selloff pushed the S&P 500 to within spitting distance of its 200-day moving average (DMA). The index was oversold and stretched from both its nine-day exponential moving average (EMA) and its 50-DMA.

That was a logical spot to look for a bounce. And that’s what we got yesterday.

The S&P 500 rallied all the way back up to the neckline of the Head and Shoulders Top pattern (near 2,080) on Wednesday morning. It has additional resistance overhead at the nine-day EMA (at 2,090) and the 50-DMA (at 2,105).

These are all good levels for traders to re-establish short positions.

To sum up, the intermediate-term trend for the stock market is now lower. We’ll likely see the S&P 500 fall to 1,990 sometime between now and October.

But in the meantime, traders should take advantage of bounces like we saw yesterday and use them as short-selling opportunities.

Best regards and good trading,

Jeff Clark
