“Tried-and-True”

Money Advice Is Broken

Inside this exclusive report you’ll discover:

  • Why traditional income strategies are actually a share-selling death spiral in disguise,

  • How you could retire on dividends alone, without drawing down your capital, and

  • Three incredible funds to own now for dividends up to 10.5% (paid monthly!)

Dear Reader,

This is a tricky time to retire and live on passive income alone.

Stocks are more volatile than ever, as we saw with the massive cliff dives the S&P 500 put on in 2020 and 2022.

You do NOT want to be forced to sell into “tire fire” years like these!

Which is why, now more than ever, it pays to be contrarian.

In past decades, a big nest egg was enough to retire on.

And a simple strategy like the “4% withdrawal rule” would help it last for decades.

The 4% rule simply says that someone with, say, a million-dollar portfolio can withdraw $40,000 per year.

And no matter the market’s swoops and swoons, the money would last for at least 33 years.

So a 60-year-old with a million bucks could call it a career, pull out $40,000 annually and be good until at least 93.

Not bad.

The 4% rule’s creator, William Bengen, an MIT grad and all-around smart guy, found that a 50/50 mix (or so) of stocks and bonds was a sound approach.

It made most retirement accounts last.

The earliest a nest egg would “crack” would be 33 years in.

At least, this was according to the 50-year period that Bengen analyzed.

The problem? Those “tire fire” years like 2022.

Sure, stocks have surged since. Trouble is, they’re now on an AI-powered “sugar high” that’s gone way too far.

All it’ll take to trigger the next plunge is one CEO saying they’re cutting back on AI investments. Or comment that they’re not getting the incredible gains the tech promised.

That, in turn, will force unsuspecting “4%-ers” to sell at crippling lows again, at a time of their lives when they can afford it the least.

With all this in mind, it’s not surprising that Bengen himself, now well into retirement, conceded he’s “not comfortable.”

He recently admitted this to the Wall Street Journal, adding that he’s cutting back on restaurants.

Billy B.! Ditch your own rule and get with our contrarian “retire on dividends alone” program!

We don’t limit ourselves to a bland mix of conventional stocks and bonds.

The best way to retire on dividends in this market is to dive into the overlooked, underappreciated income plays you won’t hear about in the mainstream press.

We’re talking stocks and funds that yield 8%, 9%, even 10%+.

Right now, the top 10 payers in our live portfolio are yielding 9.9% on average. This nets us $99,000 in yearly dividend income on a million-dollar investment!

We call this a “No Withdrawal” portfolio because we are keeping our capital intact — we are withdrawing income, not principal.

Rather than sell 4% of our net worth every year and have to part with more shares when stock prices decline, we only spend the dividends.

However, “No Withdrawal” does not mean we never sell. Timely buys and smart sales are the keys to our success. Price gains help us preserve and grow our capital.

The 4% Withdrawal Plan Is

Reverse Dollar Cost Averaging (Not Good!)

Here’s the fatal flaw with the 4% withdrawal strategy. Every few years, you’re faced with a chart like this, and you have to sell a stock when it’s dipping:

Instead of selling high, you’re selling low!

This is exactly the wrong time to sell. Remember the benefits of dollar-cost averaging, which built your retirement portfolio by giving you more shares when prices dipped? This is the same phenomenon but in reverse!

With a 4% withdrawal portfolio, where you routinely withdraw a fixed amount of money from your assets, you siphon off more shares when prices are low and fewer when prices are high.

It’s a recipe for running out of money!

What you should be doing — especially with the severe crashes we’ve all just lived through — is transitioning your portfolio away from the casino of stock prices and into the steady staircase of dividends.

Basically, it’s time for a paradigm shift.

Instead of investing in the stock market, you need to be investing in the dividend market.

When you shop for dividends, you lock in rising cash flows that you can spend forever.

Look, it’s not your fault the Fed printed trillions of dollars and totally ignored the possibility that inflation would be off the charts.

Now they’re trying to stick that “soft landing” everyone’s talked about for the last three years.

Whether they’ll pull it off is anybody’s guess. But history tells us there’s a big risk they’ll make a mistake, either cutting too fast (and reigniting inflation) or moving too slowly (dragging us all into recession).

Either way, blindly withdrawing from your portfolio by following Wall Street’s “magic 4% rule” is asking for trouble.

The better way?

Ditch the popular dividend darlings and supposed “aristocrats,” which pay you like you’re making lattes for a living, and secure yourself a 3 – 4X “pay raise” while still keeping your capital intact.

Allow me to introduce you to…

The 9% “No Withdrawal”

Retirement Portfolio

The trick with a “No Withdrawal” portfolio is finding yields high enough to make it work.

You have to go off the beaten path here. Because the only time you’ll find blue chips yielding good money is after they’ve crashed.

You could look at alternative retirement products, such as annuities, where you swap your capital for an income stream. But in most cases, you’re giving up your principal while being charged outrageous fees.

These vehicles often don’t account for cost-of-living increases. Plus you’re trading in your legacy — and your grandchildren’s inheritance.

However, there are three other vehicles available today that pay reliable yields of 8%, 9%, 10% and even higher.

They have market caps between $1 billion and $3 billion, so they’re plenty liquid enough for you and me, but not for the massive institutions that hold two-thirds of all shares in public stocks.

Combined they make up only a fraction of the stock market’s total capitalization, so they don’t get much coverage from the financial media, either.

And that makes these ignored investments ideal for bagging secure yields with stable prices and even 7% to 15% upside in many cases.

Plus you won’t have to tap your initial capital or “draw down” any of your priceless principal!

Let me reveal how you can unlock the names and ticker symbols to buy to make this happen. But first, a bit about myself.

My name is Brett Owens. I first started trading stocks in college, between classes at Cornell.

I graduated cum laude with an Industrial Engineering degree — which is actually pretty popular with Wall Street recruiters.

But I couldn’t stand the thought of grinding it out in a cubicle for 80 hours a week. So I moved to San Francisco and got into the tech scene. A buddy and I started up two software companies that serve more than 26,000 business users.

The result was a nice chunk of change coming in … and I had to decide what to do with my money.

I had seen plenty of young “techies” come into sudden cash and burn through their windfall in a year, ending up right back where they started.

That was NOT going to be me. I already had dreams of living off my wealth one day, decades before I retired.

I got plenty of cold calls from brokers wanting to “help” me. But I knew that nobody would care as much about my money as me. So I went out on my own and invested my startup profits in dividend-paying stocks.

I’ve been hunting down safe, stable and generous yields ever since, growing my wealth with vehicles paying me 7%, 8%, even 10%+ dividends.

In recent years, I started writing about the methods I use to generate these high levels of income.

Today I serve as chief investment strategist for Contrarian Income Report — a publication that uncovers secure, high-yielding investments for thousands of investors.

Since inception, my subscribers have enjoyed dividends 4 times the S&P 500 average, plus big annualized gains!

And that brings me to a crucial piece of advice…

The ONE Thing You Must Remember

If I could leave you with just one nugget of investing wisdom today, it would be to NEVER overlook the incredible wealth-building power of dividends.

Few investors realize how important these unglamorous workhorses actually are. Here’s a perfect example…

If you put $1,000 in the dividend-paying stocks of the S&P 500 back in 1973, you would have had $87,560 by the end of 2022, or nearly 88x your money. But the same $1,000 in the non-dividend payers would have grown to just $8,430 — 90% less.

That’s why I’m a dividend fan. The stock market is a fantastic wealth-building machine, but it doesn’t always go straight up! There have been plenty of 10-year periods where the only money investors made was in dividends.

And that’s what gives Contrarian Income Report readers such an edge. When you lock in a 9%+ yield, you’re booking an income stream that’s bigger than the stock market’s long-term average return right off the bat.

Of course, you can’t just buy every ticker symbol out there with a flashy yield, or you’ll get burned pretty fast.

But I’ve discovered that if you stick to three overlooked corners of the market, you could collect big dividends with much less need to tap into your savings to pay your bills. Isn’t that what we all want?

Now let’s look at the first way to secure those big payouts…

“No Withdrawal” Stealth Play #1:

Closed-End Funds

If you feel trapped “grinding out” dividend income with traditional 2% or 3% payers, you could double, and likely even triple, your payouts by moving to closed-end funds (CEFs).

In fact, you can often make the switch without actually switching investments.

For example, Deere & Co. (DE) investors can trade in their 1.6% yield for the Gabelli Equity Trust’s (GAB) massive 10.8% payout.

And guess what? One of GAB’s largest holdings is Deere!

GAB is run by superstar money manager Mario Gabelli. He uses a modest amount of leverage to create his outsized yield — which he delivers every month (unlike most funds, which only pay quarterly). It’s a sweet deal.

Retail investors have been running away from closed-end funds like this one for the past few years. A lot of these funds borrow money to jack up their yields… and investors were afraid that Fed rate hikes would end this “free lunch,” hurting CEFs.

But that’s just not true.

The last time the Fed rates surged, CEFs ended up doing just fine. In June 2004, Fed chair Alan Greenspan began boosting rates from then-historic lows. Over a two-year period, he increased the federal funds rate from 1% to 5.25%. An earthquake.

How did CEFs perform? Three prominent funds — Gabelli’s, along with the Calamos Strategic Total Return (CSQ) and the Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund (EVV), were around back then — and all outperformed the market during this two-year span.

What’s more, as the Fed cuts rates, CEFs will get an extra upside boost as their borrowing costs and the yields on so-called “safe” investments, like Treasuries (which are competitors to CEFs), fall.

And wait ’til you see the three closed-end picks I have for you. They are yielding up to an incredible 10.5%.

Plus they trade at attractive valuations, which suggests further upside from here.

These discounts could add to these funds’ appeal (and help reduce their downside) in a pullback, too, as they get even cheaper (and more appealing to income-seekers, who’d be tempted to pile in).

Either way, we’ll still collect those fat dividends!

I’ll share the details on my three favorite CEFs in a minute — but first, let’s get to our next strategy.

“No Withdrawal” Stealth Play #2:

Collecting Rising Rents

It’s not the flashiest way to grow your wealth, but more Americans have become wealthy thanks to real estate than any other investment. In fact, seven out of every 10 American millionaires owe their wealth to the steady appreciation of property values.

Unfortunately, most investors never venture beyond owning their own home. It takes a good chunk of change to get started in real estate… and being a landlord can be a real headache.

But in the past few decades, a Wall Street invention called the real estate investment trust (REIT) has radically changed the work/profit equation. By pooling a group of income-producing properties and selling shares of the pie to small investors, it has opened the high-stakes world of commercial real estate to everyone.

There’s no easier way to be a landlord than buying into one of these REITs. You can instantly own shopping centers, office towers and apartment buildings… and pocket the cash these tenants are paying.

It’s the fun part of being a landlord, without the hassles or headaches.

What I love about REITs is that the IRS lets them pay ZERO income taxes as long as they pass on the bulk of their earnings to shareholders. So they collect the rent, pay their bills and send what’s left to you as a dividend. As a nice bonus, your REIT income is taxed at a lower rate than regular rental income.

What’s more, because REITs tend to “zig” when other investments “zag,” they are a great way to diversify your assets, reduce your volatility and improve your overall returns. Meanwhile, you’ll be getting more than twice the payout of the broader stock market.

All of which means… if you don’t have a burning desire to unclog drains and play landlord yourself, it’s smarter to simply sit back, make a few clicks and buy real estate stocks instead of physical properties.

But it pays to be choosy here. There are more than 200 REITs trading on US exchanges. Some have bloated expenses, and a few have dangerous levels of debt.

We’ve boiled the universe down to our favorite REIT: a rock-solid, well-priced, proven performer paying 12.5% and with plenty of upside. More details on them in a minute; let’s first talk about our third strategy…

“No Withdrawal” Stealth Play #3:

Hidden Stocks

It’s no secret that investors like to brag.

They like to own the hottest company, the flavor of the month, the stock that’s barreling higher every day, and they love to tell everyone they own it.

But here’s the thing … more often than not, investors are buying these stocks too late. They’re buying into the hype at the exact same time as everyone else. And they usually sell at the worst time.

I don’t like “hot” stocks.

Sure, you might get in on the next Netflix or Apple, but the odds are stacked against you from the get-go. Because the truth is, for every home run there’s another thousand you’ll lose big with.

That’s why I focus on what I call “Hidden Stocks.”

These are the underappreciated, downtrodden stocks that almost nobody knows or cares about…

Hidden Stocks tend to be rock-solid companies with huge cash reserves, the ability to adapt to changes in the economy and long histories of paying ever-increasing dividends…

But because they’re in an underappreciated, overlooked or “boring” market, their share prices are often undervalued.

Which means you can add these Hidden Stocks to your portfolio at low prices and tuck them away — potentially for years — while they continue to pay their dividends.

And I’ve found a near-perfect “Hidden Stock” that I’ll share with you in just a moment.

Now let’s see how you can get hold of my complete No-Withdrawal Portfolio research today, including names, tickers and buy prices.

Yields Up to 10.5%, With Upside

To make it easy to transition into this new way of investing… where you are buying “bird in the hand” cash flows… instead of stocks that you just hope will go up… I’ve prepared two in-depth guides that hone in on the strategies I mentioned above…

Special Report #1:

Monthly Dividend Superstars: Yields Up to 10.5%, With Double-Digit Upside

This is where you’ll find the bargains that investors are leaving on the table in their misplaced fear of the Fed.

Inside you’ll find the ticker symbol, my buy-up-to price and in-depth backstory on my three favorite CEFs:

  • A well-hedged 10.5% payer in one of the most in-demand sectors right now,

  • The brainchild of one of the top fund managers on the planet, throwing off an amazing 9% yield,

  • And a rock-steady 7.3% dividend whose managers have guided it to an astonishing 1,200% total return since inception.

Special Report #2:

The Perfect Income Portfolio

In this guide, you’ll get all the details of what I call the “Perfect Income Portfolio.”

Step-by-step, I’ll show you exactly how to set up your portfolio for maximum income without taking on additional unnecessary risk.

And, if you follow the simple steps laid out, I’m confident you’ll be able to enjoy an income stream that far exceeds what most folks who buy the typical S&P 500 stock earn.

This report includes investments that have passed my strict due-diligence process—including one of the smartest REIT operators I’ve ever come across.

The stock pays a whopping 12.5% today, while management has made so many brilliant strategic moves over the last decade that it’s been able to raise its payout by 231%!

I’ll walk you through each recommendation, giving you a clear, concise and easy-to-understand breakdown of exactly why I see these as “perfect” income plays.

How to Get Both Reports Absolutely Free

To access both reports, Monthly Dividend Superstars and The Perfect Income Portfolio, at no cost whatsoever, I simply ask that you take a risk-free trial of my research service, Contrarian Income Report.

I created Contrarian Income Report to help investors uncover overlooked and underappreciated income plays before Wall Street and the mainstream herd bid them up.

People often ask me, “I get the income part, but where does ‘contrarian’ fit in?”

My answer is simple: You’ll never beat the market by following the herd.

If you buy the same investments as everyone else, you’re going to have the same results as other people — which are always mediocre. This is why my advisory is defiantly contrarian.

It all boils down to one simple principle: If you want to make money, really big money, do what nobody else is doing.

Contrarian investing is probably the simplest, sanest, most powerful and reliable money-making technique ever devised to buy low and sell high. It works in any market, from stocks and bonds to gold and real estate — because human nature is the same everywhere.

You don’t need special training. All you need is an independent mind, a bit of patience and an ounce of courage.

If you want to buy low and sell high, you must force yourself to buy when everybody, including yourself, is feeling discouraged — when the news is bad. That’s likely to be the bottom. And you should sell when everybody is excited and the news is good, because that’s likely to be the top.

Right now, we’re holding a diverse collection of these high-yielding stocks and funds, and you’ll get instant access to each one the moment your no-risk trial starts.

And every new investment you get in Contrarian Income Report comes with a simple goal: it will pay a reliable 5% dividend — or better.

In fact, some holdings in our portfolio go way further than that, delivering 12%+ income right now.

So just by “swapping out” your anemic blue chips for these cash cows, you could double, triple — or even quadruple — your income. And you could do it TODAY!

That sort of money can upgrade your lifestyle in a hurry. Take it from my subscribers:

Now not everyone follows my recommendations at the exact same time or in the same way, and each member’s personal financial situation is different. So your experience may be a little different … but I have dozens more stories just like these.

But that’s not all, because …

Safe Yields Are Only the Beginning

In addition to my favorite monthly dividends up to 10.5% and my “Perfect Income Portfolio,” your risk-free trial look at Contrarian Income Report includes a whole lot more …

  • Full portfolio access. You’ll have immediate access to every pick I make, including my exact buy and sell recommendations and “buy-under” prices.

  • New income investing ideas and analysis of major market events delivered straight to your inbox every single week.

  • Members-only website — You’ll get access to a password-protected website where you can access all of our resources: current and past issues, the No Withdrawal portfolio, special bonus reports, and the full portfolio. Whenever you want to check on our recommendations, everything is there for you, day or night.

  • Quarterly Webinars — About every three months you can join me for a live, members-only webinar. We’ll run through what’s going on with our holdings and I’ll personally answer your questions.

  • VIP Customer Service — If you ever have questions about your subscription, you can email our team anytime, or call our New York office during regular business hours and receive a prompt reply.

    • Now, the regular member price to join Contrarian Income Report is $99 per year.

    That’s a modest sum considering everything that’s included. Heck, the reports you’ll get are worth more than that. They could sell for $99 each, for a total of $198. But today they are all coming to you at no charge.

    Imagine 8%, 10%, even 12% dividends rolling in from these picks, and then watching them appreciate as mainstream investors realize what they’ve been missing and pile in.

    But I want you to see firsthand exactly how profitable this service can be. And I don’t want the subscription fee to get in the way.

    So I’ve arranged for new investors to receive an introductory discount of 60% off the regular price and to try out Contrarian Income Report for just $39. (Note: this offer is valid for new subscribers only.)

    And to start you off with everything you need to hit the ground running, I’m going to include two more bonus reports…

    Extra Bonus #1:

    The Dirty Dozen: 12 Dividend Stocks to Sell Now ($99 Value)

    As much as I love a fat payout, I never let myself forget that an extraordinary yield can be a warning sign of a stock in trouble.

    A high yield that was too good to be true is easy to spot in hindsight. But when a cut, and the resulting share price plunge, are unfolding, most “yield junkies” are intoxicated and just can’t let go … and ride the stock to the bottom.

    I’m afraid we’re in for just that scenario with the 12 popular income stocks in this report.

    Like a widely-held “sin stock” whose business is demographically locked in to decline. As that happens, its 8.4% dividend will get snuffed out, too…

    Or a food maker that should be profiting from the shocking rise in grocery bills we’ve seen. Too bad its input costs have soared, too — just as its products, which were popular during the pandemic, slide down people’s shopping lists…

    An office landlord caught up in the work-from-home shift. Sure, some folks are returning to the office, but that won’t help this specialty REIT, whose business model is likely to go by the wayside…

    Another “dividend disaster” is a popular toy maker yielding 4.8%. Too bad it’s stuck in the world of “physical” games and toys, as most kids now get their fix online.

    If you hold any of these stocks, I urge you to dump them immediately.

    Next, you’ll get your very own copy of my personal playbook…

    Extra Bonus #2:

    Second-Level Investing: Your Guide to the Contrarian Money Machine ($99 Value)

    While many investing gurus tout the virtues of contrary thinking, they rarely tell you how they go about finding cheap and out-of-favor stocks.

    So that’s exactly what you’ll get with this step-by-step contrarian guide. It’s the guts of the system I use to pick stocks in Contrarian Income Report.

    • Contrarian Buy Indicator No. 1: My favorite way to “time” a stock buy to cash in on short sellers’ greed.

    • Contrarian Buy Indicator No. 2: How to catch a big windfall by following the analysts — just not in the way most people think.

    • Contrarian Buy Indicator #3: A classic contrarian signal that tells you when a beaten-down stock is about to rebound.

    Now, there’s just one more thing I’d like to include …
