Your Exclusive Invitation:

The 8%+ Dividend Afterparty

Forget money markets and short-term bonds. Our Contrarian Income Report portfolio is built to thrive in the post-Fed-cut era—with inflation-beating payouts up to 13.1%.

Dear Reader,

Interest rates fell the moment Jay Powell spoke.

One minute, your cash was collecting 5%. By next month? That yield could already be down to 3-something… a 40% pay cut.

Look what happened to money market yields the last time the Fed started slashing in September 2024:

That’s how fast this “5% party” is ending.

Vanilla income investors are scrambling for a solution. They are buying bond ETFs like they are going out of style.

But the popular iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) only yields 4.3%.

And TLT will pay less and less with every rate cut in the months ahead.

Even worse, unlike a money market account, TLT can lose money just as easily.

In fact, as recently as 2022, the fund was down 31% for the year!

The Bond ETF Trap

The chart above tells the story.

Investors thought they were safe with long Treasuries, but inevitably TLT cratered.

And now, here we are again. After Powell’s cut, countless “income seekers” will pile back into the same bond ETFs, convinced they’re doing the right thing.

They’re not.

This is the Bond ETF Trap.

It lures well-meaning investors into funds that look safe on the surface, but leaves them with meager yields and plenty of downside.

Over the last five years, many of the most popular Treasury and bond ETFs have delivered almost nothing in total return. In some cases, losses.

The widely-held iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG), for example, holds $130 billion in assets and pays 3.9%, barely enough to keep up with inflation:

Think about it: what good is a 4% yield if your fund loses 20% of its value during the next rate or inflation scare?

That’s the reality for millions of income investors right now. They’ll celebrate a 25-basis-point cut today — only to find their “safe” bond fund dropping tomorrow.

We’ve seen this movie before and we’re not sticking around for the ending.

The 8%+ Dividend Solution

At Contrarian Income Report, we’re playing it differently.

Because, while the Fed is getting all the headlines, the Treasury is quietly pulling a very different lever — choking off the supply of long-term bonds through buybacks and short-term issuance.

It’s policy engineering that few pundits will ever mention on CNBC.

For us, it’s an opportunity.

Select bond funds — the kind managed by world-class firms like PIMCO and DoubleLine — are direct beneficiaries. With supply capped, their payouts are not just holding steady… they’re backed by policy itself.

We’re also layering in carefully chosen dividend payers from sectors like energy, infrastructure, and utilities. These stocks and funds thrive in volatility, spin cash from inflation, and — most importantly — send steady income into your account every month.

That’s exactly what we’ve built inside the CIR portfolio: a balanced mix designed to deliver safe 7% to 10%+ yields, even as Wall Street loses its mind over the Fed’s next move.

The Powell-Proof Portfolio

To make sure all of my readers are positioned on the winning side, I’ve created a brand new special report called The Powell-Proof Portfolio.

It reveals 5 of my top high-yielders built for the new rate era.

Here’s a glimpse at the first three:

• A bond anchor benefiting directly from Treasury buybacks. It throws off a double-digit yield today, with its payout supported by the very policy maneuvers most investors don’t even see.
• An equity yield kicker spinning stock market volatility into steady cash flow. This one pays 9%+ right now, deposited in your account every single month.
• A real-asset hedge that thrives when inflation bites. It’s the ultimate “toll collector” in the energy sector, handing us 8%+ income while the rest of Wall Street wrings its hands.

And that’s just the beginning. The full report reveals all five of my top buys for this new cycle—income machines handpicked to deliver safe, sustainable payouts no matter how Powell’s pivot plays out.

Exclusive Access — CIR Members Only

Now, here’s the thing. It wouldn’t be fair to our current Contrarian Income Report premium members if I simply handed this research out to the tens of thousands of readers who regularly follow my work.

These are live recommendations they’re acting on right now.

But as a former CIR member, I don’t want you on the sidelines either.

You already know how valuable this research can be — and how much cash flow the right dividend picks can put in your pocket.

That’s why, when you restart your Contrarian Income Report membership today with a special $39 “welcome back” rate, this new report is yours immediately.

That’s a $60 savings off the regular renewal price of $99!

We normally reserve this special discount for first-time members as a way of introducing them to the service. But through this private “Welcome Back” offer, you can enjoy another year at the special “first-timer’s” price.

This offer also includes full access to the live portfolio, which boasts an average yield of 8.1% — that’s 7X greater than the average S&P 500 stock.

The top 5 highest-yielders pay 11.7% average.

Eighteen of our picks pay monthly, delivering steady, predictable income right in line with our bills.

But let me remind you: we’re not just about the dividends.

CIR Has Been on Fire

In addition to those massive payouts, many of our holdings have packed on serious total returns, even as the broader market zigzags.

For example, two of our flagship bond funds from one of the world’s most respected fixed-income managers have posted multi-year gains of more than 42% and 49%, and they’re still running with current yields of 9% and 10.4%.

And take a look at how some of our other “bread and butter” funds and bond proxies stack up against the benchmark iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG) so far in 2025:

A premium bond fund from a global leader in income management: +19.8% YTD Total Return

A midstream energy toll collector: +28.5% YTD Total Return

A North American energy infrastructure giant: +20.9% YTD Total Return

A leading utility stock: +15.5% YTD

A global infrastructure CEF: +14.4% YTD

A utility-focused income fund: +19.6% YTD

A veteran utility & infrastructure fund: +25.5% YTD

Of course, some recommendations can and do lose money. Investing in the stock market does come with some inherent risks.

But my point is simple: with the right contrarian strategy, income and growth don’t have to be a trade-off.

With so many opportunities ahead, it’s why I want you to come back today for just $39 (60% off).

And of course, your subscription gives you access to all the perks of CIR membership, like our full library of new and updated special reports, including:

5 “All-Weather” Dividends Paying Up to 9.2%

As the title says, this report contains my favorite high-yield stocks and funds to sustain and grow your income (and nest egg) through anything the economy throws at us: inflation, deflation, you name it.

They include:

• A contrarian CEF investors wrongly dumped after political headlines, now yielding 9.2% and trading at a rare discount.
• A battle-tested 7.1% payer whose managers have guided it to an astonishing 1,700% total return since inception.
• A blue-chip energy play buying back its stock and ready to surge as income-hungry investors pile back in.

But of course, simply picking the right dividends isn’t enough—you also have to avoid the losers. Which is what your next report is designed to do.
