Boring Is Beating the Market
Dear Subscriber,

There’s a paradigm shift going on in the market. And while others argue over the reasons, the outcome is clear …
Investors are diving into safety.
You likely see the same headlines we do. Pundits are discussing everything from stagflation to recession, increased trade wars to outright wars.
Those kinds of headlines don’t hint at a healthy market. But it’s still a market of stocks. And it’s important to remember that not all stocks are built the same.
So, if you are buying an index, you might get something unexpected. Which is exposure to the “U” word that Fed Chair Jerome Powell said 47 times in his latest statement: uncertainty.
Take a look at this chart …
Each line represents an index or ETF with slightly different risk profiles.
From worst performing to best, those are:
- The Dow Jones Industrial Index
- ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF (NOBL)
You can probably already see what’s happening. Formerly high-flying tech stocks — represented by the QQQs — have collapsed since mid-February.
That led to a drag on the S&P 500, which now holds an overweight position in those tech stocks after their 2023-’24 run-up.
The Dow, which is a price-weighted index, was pulled down only slightly.
Finally, the Dividend Aristocrats, which are some of the most conservative companies in the entire market, actually rose during this period.
This shift isn’t going away, either.
On Wednesday, we’ll learn what the next chapter of the ongoing tariff story is. But if former “tariff deadlines” are any indication, this won’t end the uncertainty.
And markets hate uncertainty.
As you can see, it sends investors fleeing to safety. Gold, another safety valve for investors, is sitting at an all-time high.
There is one more way to benefit from this uncertainty, high volatility and market fear. And it offers more than just sitting on some safe dividend stocks or hoarding gold coins.
