Today’s letter is essentially a warning: if you are risking funds that you might need before 2025, YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS being in the markets today.
Anything can happen in the coming years, including a situation where prices remain EXACTLY THE SAME as today’s are, so if you aim to grow your investments, you might not see appreciation for a few years.
Dividend distributions have historically been in charge of delivering between 30% and 50% of TOTAL RETURNS to shareholders. I stress this because while management teams can play with profits on the books and with how they’re displayed, no one can ARGUE WITH rising, consistent dividend payments.
That’s the reason why nearly 40% of my net worth is tied to companies that have been raising their dividend payments for a decade OR MORE, without fail, and preferably a generation or more (25 years).
These companies are collectively called “Dividend Achievers” and “Dividend Aristocrats.”
I want to PROVE TO YOU that the longer you can HOLD TIGHT and avoid trading in and out of these, the more MIRACULOUS YOUR RETURNS will become over time!
In our NEWLY PUBLISHED watch list report part 2, which you can ACCESS HERE, we just entered a position in PPG Industries (PPG), for example, when the stock hit $97/share just a few days ago.
I want to show you how this company will ENRICH SHAREHOLDERS by 2030, so look at the following stats: In 2013, shares traded for roughly $66 and they paid $2.44/share in dividends. That equates to a yield of 3.6%. Fast-forward to today and split-adjusted, the company pays $4.08/share, which comes out to 6.2% on YOUR 2013 COST.
At this rate, by 2030, the company will pay a YEARLY DIVIDEND of $9.70/share, which will yield a 14% annualized return on the 2013 cost!
In other words, if you can avoid the TEMPTATION TO SELL shares prematurely or at the first sign of trouble and hold for 17 years, you’ll be earning 14% per year by owning one of the best businesses on the planet.
You can spoil all of this magic by selling when an event like COVID-19 occurs or you can remember the above lesson.

As you can see in the chart, at any given moment, there are PLENTY OF THINGS to worry about, such as the Banana Republic state of affairs in the United States right now or the lunacy of ENDLESS SPENDING.
FED Chairman Alan Greenspan held the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet at 5% of U.S. GDP for the longest time, and that may have been a COILED SPRING that his predecessors were forced to deal with or he was simply a SUPERIOR CENTRAL BANKER compared to them.
As of 2020, the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet is AN ASTONISHING 33% of GDP, a figure that will be unleashing terror on the markets for years to come.
We assess that it will be nearly impossible to expect normal returns from the S&P 500 index, the Dow Jones, or the NASDAQ 100, and the big money is in finding the “COVID-19 VICTIMS” that are able to weather the storm and return to PRE-VIRUS levels.

The term “V”-shaped recovery is FINE TO USE, but we need to understand that one person’s V is another person’s U. It all depends on your timeline; the number of lost jobs this virus has brought about IS CATASTROPHIC.
45 million Americans have filed for unemployment, which comes out to nearly a third of the full-time workforce or about 30% of the total employment pool!
Even if we’re being TOTALLY OPTIMISTIC, the time it takes to remedy the situation is in YEARS, not months.
I am not discounting another 20% drop between now and the end of 2021, so we believe that more money will BE POURED INTO GOLD since the stakes are so high and the future is uncertain.
$2,000 gold will become a reality!
Extremely suspicious about the prosecution of Ethan Melzer accused of providing a Satanic Neo-Nazi cult O9A (nine angels) that supports Islamic terrorist groups like ISIS material support to Islamic terrorists of his troops location through encrypted communications in his “Harvest The Soldiers” since the military has been supporting the terrorist groups all along. It is also strange that this is being handled by the FBI and not the military court. Very very strange. Must be an embarrassing bust for the military! Why is the FBI willing to conceal something so heinous?! Not exactly doing anyone any favors there chumps! That make you guilty of treason too! Who the fuck do you psychopaths think that you are?! Eat shit! If the military is doing this to soldiers, it MUST be exposed! Quite unusual that the FBI is spying on the military! I have never heard of anything like that before! Really strange things going on in this country! Why is the Justice Department handling this too, instead of the military court? I demand an explanation! Both the FBI and the Justice Department have an equally terrible track record of upholding law and order, and justice! Everyone in power just seems to be doing whatever the hell they please, without any explanation for their strange behavior!

Why aren’t any individuals that are employed in the financial sector demanding financial accountability and corruption and financial fraud investigations of corrupt fraudsters?!
You seriously are NOT doing youreselves any favors by being complicit accomplices, and silent in the wake of financial terrorism!
Wake Up! Are all of you willing to go down on a sinking ship? Apparently! The first thing that should be done is demanding the removal of Jay Clayton! Go on strike until Trump tells him,
“You’re Fired!”
Since you were behind the BLM protests and COVID lockdown, put your money where your mouths are and strike! Otherwise, start explaining your silence !

Godzilla is coming to America! A giant Saharan dust cloud named Godzilla is heading to America on easterly trade winds. It is expected to reach the U.S. Gulf Coast on Thursday, with the dust cloud approximately one mile above land. The dust particles can make breathing difficult and residents in the region have been advised to remain in doors and use air filters with windows closed.

Colorado passes Orwellian Nazi type forced vaccination SB163.
Thank you Robert Kennedy Jr.! You are remarkable and an outstanding American!
Democrats are really over-playing their hand on this issue! Once again, behind the curve on public opinion as usual! You are stuck in your echo chamber and believe your own bull-shit! The problem is that nobody outside of your echo-chamber believes it!
Don’t be surprised if Colorado state government flips because of this. Just sayin’, if electing forced vaccines is your goal, go right
ahead and support the state Dems.
