Trade More Bond (and Stock) Bounces With Me!
Jay Powell’s secretly been propping up the stock market for years—and no one has noticed (yet!). This is our cue to profit via predictable, short-term Dividend Swing Trades.
(This simple strategy has nothing to do with options. Just fast gains from our favorite dividend stocks.)
Dear Reader,
We contrarians knew something was up when we made our Bond Bounce trades in Contrarian Income Report a while back…
Those moves flipped us fast, safe profits averaging 66% annualized:
Our Bond Bounce “Swing Trade”…
Those spectacular gains came as stocks and bonds were sinking together—to the tune of 18% and 31% losses in a calendar year, respectively!
… Brought Us Profits Amidst a Brutal Backdrop!
There was a secret behind these swift, secure returns: the Federal Reserve was quietly pivoting—back toward “party on” territory.
And no one noticed, least of all the mainstream media.
Here in CIR and in my regular columns on Contrarian Outlook, I’ve been yapping about the Fed ad nauseam.
The upshot? As long as the Fed was tightening monetary liquidity (i.e., chopping the money supply), it wasn’t worth buying anything.
But this changed in late September 2022, when events “across the pond” were quietly turning Jay Powell’s “tough” stance inside out.
I wrote the following to readers in my Dividend Swing Trader service:
Yeah, markets sure did rip! The S&P 500 is up 53% since I wrote those words in DST.
Which brings us to today: My research indicates even more upside ahead, but with a lot of chop. Volatility. Wild swings.
Us buy-and-hold investors are going to use these rough seas to our advantage. We’ll methodically load up our CIR and Hidden Yields portfolios in the months ahead.
The ebbs and flows will naturally work in our favor, and years from now we’ll be thankful we acted as cautiously as we did in 2022 and as smartly as we did in 2023 and 2024.
But there are even more gains (and dividends!) available that a buy-and-hold approach simply can’t reach. I’m talking about more bond bounces! And more opportunities to tap stocks for 66%+ annualized total returns!
We’ll make this extra bank by playing the inevitable swings that are on the way as Powell’s “back-door” moves to boost market liquidity get an assist from overt stimulus in the form of falling interest rates.
Why a “Scared Fed” Is Bullish for Contrarians
And when I say “inevitable,” I’m not kidding.
To get a better picture of the profit opportunity I’m talking about here, let’s rewind to September 2022 again. The event that scared the BOE and our Federal Reserve was a crisis in UK government bonds (known as “gilts”).
For a brief moment in time, gilts had no buyers. Their prices crashed, and they threatened to take down the whole UK financial system with them.
The crisis was averted, of course, because the UK’s central bank did what central banks always do when push comes to shove: act as a buyer of last resort. Even if it means printing money to get through the crisis.
The Fed watched this whole situation go down very closely. And Jay Powell was rattled to his core. He didn’t admit this to Wall Street. He kept talking tough—and raising rates.
But look at what Jay actually did with the money supply. He quietly calmed things down and made sure that bank reserves didn’t drop any lower.
Powell may be content to keep rates high for a bit longer, but he isn’t going to risk a financial crisis! Check out the solid line below, courtesy of CrossBorder Capital:
The UK Gilt Crisis was “the moment” for Jay. Liquidity would go no lower. To underline the point, Powell proved it again a few months later, following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in early 2023.
Jay talked tough then, too. But AGAIN he was quietly turning on the taps in the background, dropping further liquidity into the market. The turning point couldn’t be clearer in this chart of bank reserves:
Both of these events put the Fed itself back on “liquidity offense,” which has been its modus operandi since 2008. The Fed printed lots of money and kept interest rates really low for 15 years. This created the wild inflation we’ve been living with since late 2021.
As income investors, we care what the Fed is doing because stock (and bond) prices are directly correlated with the liquidity the Fed is providing.
It wasn’t always this way, but it has been since 2009. The Fed provided easy financial conditions and stocks went straight up.
Think back to April 2020. We were all stuck at home, yet the stock market was soaring. It made no sense—until we consider what the Fed was doing: printing money like crazy.
In September and October of 2020, we saw another sharp pullback. Was it a reason for us dividend fans to be nervous? Nah. The Fed was still printing. Jay Powell had our backs!
We bought two high-paying dividend funds for CIR in October ’20 and enjoyed 43% average returns in the 14 months that followed. Another sweet example of a Fed swing trade!
2 Rare “Swing Trade” Opportunities in CIR!
Normally we like to buy dividend funds and hold them forever. But why give back profits when the Fed is tightening? Better to swing trade and step aside with a 43% average return, rather than just 13% after they came back down again.
We Sold Close to the Top
And now that liquidity has bottomed and rates are set to fall, it’s time for us contrarians to swing into action.
And if you want even more action and profits than we’re going to enjoy via our buy-and-hold strategies in the months ahead, I want to personally invite you to “swing trade” alongside me for secure, and steady, profits.
Our 3 Steps to “Swing Trade” for Secure Profits
Our first rule of trading—don’t lose money.
Which is why cash is the first part of our swing trading formula:
- When we have no clear advantage, we sit on cash.
- We buy great dividend stocks and bond funds when the odds are overwhelmingly in our favor.
- We sell early, rather than later, to lock in maximum profits.
Now that the Fed’s quiet money printing is set to get an assist from falling rates, it’s time for us to focus on steps 2 and 3.
Buy right and sit tight—but not for too long! Book profits before we give them back.
I can’t do this in buy-and-hold services like CIR and HY. Once in a while, sure, we can grab some sweet, fast profits. But you hear the questions I get on my webcasts! Many investors want to move slowly, enjoy their juicy dividends and not worry about daily market gyrations.
That’s fine. I respect it. But you know me—I like to talk fast, write fast and trade fast. Because doing so is the key to some truly spectacular profits (and dividends!).
Let me walk you through a recent trade that my elite “inner circle” of DST members profited from.
Back in October 2022, bond-focused closed-end funds (CEFs), even those holding “low drama” municipal bonds, were torched, as inflation fears sent the 10-year Treasury rate soaring.
But we didn’t buy the “inflation forever” narrative and figured “long rates” were due for a breather. And since bond prices move inversely to rates, we picked up a muni-bond fund called the BlackRock Taxable Municipal Bond Trust (BBN).
How did it play out? When we sold two months (just two months!) later, BBN had jumped 11.1%, or 64.8% annualized, a massive move for “sleepy” munis.
So we basically got the best of both worlds: A quick gain and downside protection from the fact that munis are incredibly secure, with microscopic default rates.
The fund moved lower from there, as peak inflation panic caused rates to peak in October 2023, but by that time we were long gone–off to our next swing trade.
A Timely Swing Trade on This Muni-Bond CEF
That’s what makes Dividend Swing Trader different: instead of riding along with a stock’s ups and downs (which works fine for many folks), we go one step further and sell when the time is right. That way, we keep more of our money!
Another great sector to swing trade is energy. In September 2022, we smartly identified Chevron (CVX) as a dirt-cheap dividend-growth stock in DST. At the time, I wrote:
CVX popped, as predicted. We secured 15% profits in just a few weeks, good for 90% annualized gains.
The stock would eventually give back most of those gains, as occurred with BBN. Buy-and-hold investors didn’t enjoy our swing-trade profits, but at DST, we’re NOT afraid to sell high.
DST “works” just like my Contrarian Income Report and Hidden Yields services. I write you a note with each trade, explaining clearly what to buy, what to hold and what to sell.
Heck, if you like more active trading, DST could be the perfect “add on” to your CIR or HY membership, nicely complementing those services’ longer-term recommendations with the odd short-term profit “pop.”
And since we’re moving faster with DST, you’ll hear from me more often—twice a month at least. When there’s a dividend trade to make, my DST subscribers are the first to know.
I’ll explain the mechanics of DST more in a moment.
First, though, let me tell you what’s new in my own personal trading approach.
My Emphasis: Turning Points
As the bear market unfolded in 2022, I had to make some quick changes for us all to profit from the new market that was suddenly before us.
A simple contrarian approach, while effective enough to keep our capital safe, won’t make big money in choppy markets like these.
The contrarian angle must also be used to identify turning points in markets. This is where the real money is.
Fortunately we already had the tools in place here at Contrarian Outlook to identify out-of-favor investments ready to turn. We just needed to pinpoint when that was going to happen.
Check out our recent trade of the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT). Talk about making money out of nothing! The fund mostly treaded water through the autumn of 2022. But at CIR, we bought near the lows (in early November 2022 and sold high (at the end of December)
TLT Swing Trade: Buy Low, Sell High
Did we nail the exact bottom and top? No. But nobody does. We did well enough to earn a fast 12.3%, which annualized to 100% gains.
Now I have my eye on another high-paying trade. It’s an unbelievable value, almost too good to be true.
It’s exactly the type of deal I’d love to let all of my CIR subscribers know about.
But I can’t because the stock is too small. Thousands of buyers would move the price.
Which is why it’s reserved for my Dividend Swing Trader subscribers.
With a membership that’s kept small and agile (on purpose) our subscribers can move into (and out of) a fund like this without eliminating the discount ourselves.
I believe my Dividend Swing Trader system is the fastest, most reliable way to multiply BOTH your wealth and your income.
And if you want to achieve true financial independence… it could be your best path forward.
You don’t need to buy risky options, use margin or day trade.
You don’t need to gamble on any speculative plays like marijuana stocks or cryptos.
And I want to give you, a valued subscriber, VIP access to this unique service with no risk and no obligation whatsoever.
I’ll show you how to kick-start your trial in just a moment, but first, I know this is a way of trading dividends that’s, shall we say, a bit unorthodox to most investors. (Believe me, I know many members hate to sell—I hear it all the time!)
I want to make sure you’re comfortable, so let me pull the curtain back a bit farther and show you exactly what you can expect with Dividend Swing Trader.
How We “Swing Trade” Safe Dividends
for Quick 20%+ Returns
One reason why “swing trading” dividends like the ones we just discussed works in all markets is because we’re banking high income the entire time.
And we’re building, and growing, our portfolios as we “swing trade” from high yielder to high yielder. We then ride the next one to big gains, bank our profits and “swing” to the next dividend.
If you follow this system, you could collect yearly returns of 20%+, which breaks down to about 5% from dividend payouts and 15% (or more) from stock-price appreciation.
Truth is, 20% is very conservative—but conservative sort that I am, I always aim to underpromise and overdeliver.
I know what you’re thinking: “Sure, Brett, but what exactly will our typical holding period be?”
Great question.
As you can see from the trades I showed you above, we’re holding our stocks for a few weeks or months, maybe a year in some cases. And we’re sleeping soundly at night the entire time.
When it is time to trade, I’ll let you know through an email Flash Alert right away.
You don’t have to do any work (aside from logging into your investment account and making the recommended buys and sells, of course)!
But you will typically bag a 5% yield from these plays while setting yourself up for 15%+ price gains (or more!) per trade.
The whole thing is set up to deliver you maximum growth and a cash income stream with minimal risk.
And then, when we’ve reaped maximum profits from an individual stock, we swing to another with GREATER upside potential in the short term and a healthy dividend payout.
In fact, I’ve put the whole plan in a new FREE report I want to give you right now …

How to Identify Market Tops (and Buy Dividends
on the Dip)
Buying low and selling high is what most investors try to do. But buying high and selling low is what most actually do!
You’ve probably heard that there’s no way to time the market, but that’s bunk.
Truth is, there are plenty of useful indicators out there, including seasonal trends and–of course–changes in the money supply, that we can absolutely use to make sure we’re getting in and out at the right times.
And when we apply these strategies to dividend stocks, we can nicely put ourselves in position for 5% dividends and double-digit price gains every year!
We did it with BSTZ, SAH and Chevron—some of the successful trades I’ve shown you today. This report breaks down exactly how we’re going to do it again and again in the coming year—and beyond.
Free Bonus Report #2:
The Secret to Banking 20%+ Per Year with CEFs
Closed-end funds are perfect targets for Dividend Swing Trader for two reasons:
- Big yields: CEFs yield 7% on average and many yield a lot more—well into double-digits.
- Big discounts: CEFs also have an indicator of coming gains that no other investment has: the discount to net asset value (NAV).
Buying when a discount is wide and then “riding along” as it closes—propelling the fund’s price higher as it does—is a strategy we’ve used for years in DST and Contrarian Income Report.
This breakthrough report explains the ins and outs of timing your CEF buys for maximum dividends and upside.
These 2 Bonus Gifts Are Waiting For You
They’re yours for FREE when you accept today’s invitation to join Dividend Swing Trader.
Normally membership alone would cost $1,499 per year. That on its own is a heck of a deal. You’ll likely pick up just one trade during your trial period that’ll cover it.
Not to mention the fact you’re getting $297 worth of free bonus reports.
However, you won’t pay anywhere near that much because I’m currently offering a HUGE 45% discount to Dividend Swing Trader.
So, instead of investing $1,499.00, you’ll pay just $799, effectively “locking in” a $700 discount on your first year.

And don’t forget, you’re always covered by our 60-day money-back guarantee. You have no risk and no obligation whatsoever.
You must act fast, though, as I’m only accepting a limited number of new members inside Dividend Swing Trader.
That’s right—only a limited number can join us right now. We really must keep our membership small, for two very specific reasons:
First, this strategy typically focuses on smaller funds and companies.
If I recommended them to the tens of thousands of readers of Contrarian Outlook, we’d move the market with our buying volume. Even recommending these under-the-radar plays to our thousands of Contrarian Income Report or Hidden Yields subscribers would move the market.
Second, when we’re trading more often, as we are with Dividend Swing Trader, it’s just much easier to do with a small, nimble group.
So, to quickly recap, you’ll get:
- 12 Months of Full Access to Dividend Swing Trader
- “3 Keys to Quick Double-Digit Dividend Gains”
- Special “Insider Only” Updates
- Exclusive Q&A Service
- BONUS #1 — “How to Identify Market Tops (and Buy Dividends on the Dip)”
- BONUS #2 — “The Secret to Banking 20%+ Per Year with CEFs”
A total value of $1,796.00…
All for just ONE payment of $799.
