EDITOR'S NOTE

MOST investors chase earnings and sales numbers...

But Chief Income Strategist Marc Lichtenfeld has discovered the ONE metric that he says predicted every major winner of the last 15 years.

It's not the kind of thing Wall Street talks about on TV... but looking back, this secret metric would have spotted Nvidia when it was just $0.30 before it soared to $144.

See the 8-second trick that could change everything.

THE SHORTEST WAY TO A RICH LIFE

Why "Boring" Dividend Stocks Build Extraordinary Wealth

A couple of years ago, I spent an incredible two weeks in Ireland with some of my readers.

Ireland's natural beauty is legendary and lived up to its billing. The cities were lively and fun, and the Irish were generous with their spirit.

One of my favorite parts of the trip was getting to know everyone and hearing their stories.

They had inspiring tales of success, including...

  • The 90-something-year-old who was a top salesperson for The New York Times in the 1950s but wasn't promoted because she was a woman. She eventually left and ran her own advertising agency.
  • The former top engineer from Chrysler, who regularly met with Lee Iacocca. His eyes lit up when he talked about cars, especially when the hotel we stayed at had one of the very first cars ever produced.
  • The entrepreneur who opened up a pizza place that became a chain, which he sold. A few years later, that chain became Godfather's Pizza. He still runs multiple restaurants today.

All of the people I met were self-made. More impressively, though they had big successes in life, they also worked hard in their careers and invested their money the right way, affording them the lifestyles they have now.

Many of them told me they follow my 10-11-12 System of investing in "Perpetual Dividend Raisers" (companies that raise their dividends every year). They weren't banking on catching the next hot stock.

You may be lucky and discover the next Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA) or Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN). But more likely, you'll wind up in the next Lucid (Nasdaq: LCID).

That's not a jab at your investing ability. It's just that there's often a lot of hype about stocks that don't work out, so those big winners are rare.

Here's how I run my stock portfolio...

I do take a few small shots at stocks that could be big winners. But if they flame out, it won't hurt me badly, because I keep my position sizes small and use 25% trailing stops.

The rest of my portfolio is invested in Perpetual Dividend Raisers. I want to own stocks that generally yield 3.5% or more, grow their dividends by a meaningful amount every year, and are able to afford and raise their dividends.

Because I have a number of years until retirement, I reinvest the dividends, which compounds my wealth. This was the secret that many of the people on the trip utilized.

Are you a long-term investor? You'll Want to Hear This...

The President of the United States once went to bat for an American energy company that's merging energy and AI.

It's wildly cheap, and one man believes it could be the long-term answer to our AI energy needs.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the concept, it goes like this: When a company pays dividends, you can collect the dividends in cash or automatically buy more shares of stock.

For example, Chevron (NYSE: CVX) pays a $1.71 per share quarterly dividend for a yield of 4.5%. If you bought 20 shares at $153.11 (the price as I write this), you'd get paid $34.20 in dividends this quarter ($1.71 dividend per share x 20 shares = $34.20).

If you reinvested the dividend, you'd automatically buy 0.22 more shares based on the same price ($34.20 in dividends / $153.11 share price = 0.22). Of course, the price could be higher or lower. If it were lower, you'd get even more shares, which would generate more dividends.

The next quarter, if the dividend was the same, you'd get paid $34.58, which would automatically be used to buy more shares. That additional $0.38 seems like nothing, but if Chevron continued to raise the dividend at the pace it's done so over the last five years, your original $3,062 investment would grow by more than 80% over the next five years.

By the way, that's if the stock simply kept pace with the historical average of the S&P 500. In other words, it wasn't a world-beater - just an average stock with a strong yield and terrific dividend growth.

Here's what that original investment would be worth over various periods of time.

You can see that after just 10 years, your investment would more than triple.

After 30 years, you would've made more than 20 times your money - not by chasing the next home run, but by owning a "boring" dividend stock.

Many of the readers on our trip invested according to this strategy, and it helped them afford a stay at Adare Manor, our last stop in Ireland (photo below). It was rated Condé Nast's top resort in the world.

There is nothing boring about that.

Good investing,

P.S. There's one key component of long-term income growth that most people don't think about.

I consider it the single most important metric in predicting a stock's success.

In fact, according to The Wall Street Journal, stocks with higher ratings in this metric consistently outperformed over a period of more than 30 years.

Recently, for the first time ever, I filmed a video on how I use this calculation to weed out the underperformers and pick the stocks with the best chance of seeing long-term gains.

I've got all the details for you right here.
