Executive Order #14153 to Send Tiny $2 Stock Soaring |
Trump’s Executive Order #14153 could help unlock what one analyst estimates is a $2.7 trillion mineral reserve packed with gold, silver, copper and other critical resources. |
And one tiny company trading near $2 reportedly controls 100% of the rights to the asset. |
If Trump’s plan moves forward, this overlooked stock could suddenly be thrust into the spotlight. |

🔔 Eight payments land between Tuesday and Friday |
All eight were decided in June or July. Here is when each one actually arrives. |
|
|
Eight names on the watchlist pay a dividend between Tuesday and Friday, and not one of those payments was decided this week. Smucker, Kroger, WEC Energy, Entergy and Aflac all pay Tuesday. RTX and TJX pay Thursday. Honeywell pays Friday. The declarations behind them run from June 9 to August 6, so the newest of the eight decisions is three weeks old and the oldest is closer to three months. Whatever the market does between now and Friday, those amounts are already set. That is not a small thing in a week that also carries month-end and a holiday on the far side. |
That gap is what makes dividend income plannable at all. A board votes, the declaration is filed, a record date is set, and the money goes out weeks later on a date that does not move for market reasons. John Bogle, who founded Vanguard in 1975, spent decades pointing out that reinvested dividends do most of the compounding work over a long holding period. The mechanical half of that argument is just the calendar. You can know in June roughly what will land in September, and there are not many things in this business you can say that about. |
Which raises the reinvestment question. I mean that as an actual question. When those eight payments arrive, they either buy more shares automatically or they sit as cash until you decide. Neither answer is obviously right. Automatic reinvestment buys at whatever the price happens to be that morning, which is fine over twenty years and occasionally annoying over twenty months. Holding the cash gives you a choice and costs you time in the market. I would not tell anyone which to pick. I would say it is worth knowing which one your broker is doing on your behalf right now, because most people have never checked. |

The electricity problem sitting underneath the AI build-out |
Data centres need power on a scale the existing grid was not built to deliver, and that constraint is now the limiting factor rather than the chips. One analyst argues a small Colorado company, counting Sam Altman among its backers, is positioned to be paid for solving it. The presentation names the company and lays out why the grid problem gets solved commercially rather than politically. |

Of the eight, one has a record worth sitting with for a moment. |
| |
🧾 THE STEADY · AFLAC (AFL) |
Aflac pays 61 cents a share on Tuesday, one of the eight. The record on file runs back to February 1990, when the quarterly was 8 cents. |
The recent cadence, each raise taking effect with the February payment: $0.42 (2023), then $0.50 (2024), then $0.58 (2025), then $0.61 (2026). Forward rate of $2.44 a share, which has been running near 2%. The price has traded between $104.66 and $130.22 in the 52 weeks through Thursday, August 27, and the payout ratio sits at 26%. |
Through 2020 the schedule did not move: 28 cents in February, May, August and November, then 33 cents the following February. The raises have slowed since, from 19% to 16% to just over 5%. A ten-year Treasury pays more than twice what this does today, and Aflac keeps raising while the Treasury does not. That is the whole trade, stated plainly. |

Laid out by day, the week looks like this. |
| |
📅 THE WEEK AHEAD |
Monday, August 31, 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. Month-end session. Realty Income goes ex at 27.1 cents.
Tuesday, September 1. McDonald's goes ex at $1.86. Smucker, Kroger, WEC Energy, Entergy and Aflac all pay.
Thursday, September 3, after a quiet Wednesday. RTX pays 73 cents and TJX pays 48 cents. Last session to own PepsiCo or Dominion Energy for their payments.
Friday, September 4. PepsiCo and Dominion Energy go ex. Honeywell pays 70 cents.
Monday, September 7. Markets closed for Labor Day. Next open is Tuesday, September 8. |
|
|
|
|
Two things about that list are worth a second look. The runway is four sessions rather than five, because the following Monday is Labor Day. And every dollar arriving between Tuesday and Friday was decided in June or July, which leaves exactly one decision still open, and it is yours. Sleep on it, if you like. The money will still be there Tuesday. |
Of the eight payments landing this week, is there one you actually watch for? Drop me a reply, I read them all. |

CONTENT DISCLAIMER
The Money Memo is for informational and educational purposes only. It is not investment advice, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and not personalized to your situation. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Anything we write about a company, a fund, or a dividend is a description of what the record shows — what you do with your own money is your decision, and a conversation worth having with a financial or tax professional who knows your circumstances. |
ABOUT THE DIVIDEND AND MARKET DATA
Dividend figures — declaration dates, ex-dividend dates, payment amounts and payout streaks — come from market data feeds and company filings, and are accurate as of the date shown. Companies can change, suspend, or reinstate a dividend at any time, and a scheduled date can move. Prices and yields reflect completed trading sessions, not live quotes. Before you act on any date or figure you read here, confirm it with the company’s investor relations page or your broker.
If you believe we’ve published a figure incorrectly, reply and tell us. We check it and print the correction. |
