One of the best ways to generate reliable income is by investing in the Dividend Aristocrats. Not only have these stocks paid out dividends for more than 25 years, they’re also some of the most reliable companies on the planet – even in the worst of times.
Some of the top ones include:
McDonald’s (MCD)
McDonald’s currently yields 2.19%. It also just declared a quarterly dividend of $1.52 a share, which is payable Sept. 18 to shareholders of record as of Sept. 1. Given the strength of the McDonald’s brand, we’ll see even more.
Helping, earnings show no clear signs of slowing. In its most recent quarter, it posted EPS of $3.17, which beat expectations by 38 cents. Revenue came in at $6.5 billion, which was up 13.6% year over year, and beat estimates by $210 million. Global comparable sales were also up 11.7, with U.S. sales up 10.3%. Growth is not a problem here.
Automatic Data Processing (ADP)
Not only is Automatic Data Processing (ADP) an Aristocrat with 48 years of dividend payouts, it’s also recession proof – with a yield of 2.2%.
Companies still need to run payroll and use human resources services that a company, such as ADP offers even in a bad economy. For example, since June, the ADP stock ran about 70% higher, as the DJIA gained about 4%.
ADP also just declared a quarterly dividend of $1.25 a share, payable Oct. 1 to shareholders of record as of Sept. 8. Better, it just crushed earnings, with EPS of $1.89, which beat expectations by six cents. Revenue of $4.5 billion beat by $110 million.
Options usually price in 2.50 increments up to $50, and then move in $5 increments – most of the time. However, the very thick liquid stocks and index options can price in $1 increments. These levels are called strike prices. Equity options expire on the third Friday of every month. The options markets close a few minutes after the equities markets.
Call options expect the underlying stock price to move above the chosen strike price level and are considered bullish. Put options expect the underlying stock price to fall below the chosen strike price level and are considered bearish. When the underlying stock price is trading above the strike price for a call or below the strike price for a put, that option is considered to be in-the-money. The further beyond the strike price the underlying security is trading, the deeper the option is in-the-money.
INTRINSIC VALUE
The intrinsic value is the value of the option based solely on the difference between the underlying stock price and the strike price. For example, if MSFT is trading at $20.05, the intrinsic value of a 20 call is 0.05 since the stock is only trading 0.05 above the strike price of that call option. If MSFT is trading at $19.90, a 20 call is technically worth zero since it is trading under the $20 strike price. However, the option may have some value depending on the two other components.
This upcoming week is what I call an “Inflation Sandwich”. Starting with Monday, September 11 (22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack) and ending with Friday, September 15 (Quadruple Witching Friday), the “Meat” of the week is Wednesday’s CPI (Consumer Price Index) and Thursday’s PPI (Producer Price Index) Inflation Reports.
Please realize the Market is fairly confident that the Fed will not change short-term interest rates at their upcoming FOMC Meeting on Wednesday, September 20. It’s the next Meetings after that that the Market is not sure of.
As it stands right now there is just more than a 50% likelihood that the Fed will keep rates the same the rest of this year. But there is still a high probability that the Fed might raise rates at either their November or December FOMC Meetings.

4) You should trade or invest only “risk capital” – money you can afford to lose. Trading stocks and stock options involves high risk and you can lose the entire principal amount invested or more.
5) All investments carry risk and all trading decisions made by a person remain the responsibility of that person. There is no guarantee that systems, indicators, or trading signals will result in profits or that they will not produce losses. Subscribers should fully understand all risks associated with any kind of trading or investing before engaging in such activities.
6) Some profit examples are based on hypothetical or simulated trading. This means the trades are not actual trades and instead are hypothetical trades based on real market prices at the time the recommendation is disseminated. No actual money is invested, nor are any trades executed. Hypothetical or simulated performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. Also, the hypothetical results do not include the costs of subscriptions, commissions, or other fees. Because the trades underlying these examples have not actually been executed, the results may understate or overstate the impact of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading services in general are also designed with the benefit of hindsight, which may not be relevant to actual trading. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. TradeWins makes no representations or warranties that any account will or is likely to achieve profits similar to those shown.
7) No representation is being made that you will achieve profits or the same results as any person providing testimonial. No representation is being made that any person providing a testimonial is likely to continue to experience profitable trading after the date on which the testimonial was provided, and in fact the person providing the testimonial may have experienced losses.

The author is an experienced investor and your results will vary depending on risk tolerance, amount of risk capital utilized, size of trading position and other factors.
