Dear Reader, Something extraordinary is happening in the markets right now. I've been watching the markets for nearly 20 years... And the data I'm looking at right now is unlike anything I've seen before. Consider this: Six years ago, $30 billion sat in U.S. leveraged ETFs – the type of instrument that allows investors to make turbo-charged bets on the market. Today, they just hit a record $177 billion. That's nearly six times more money, making bigger and more aggressive bets. Investors are sprinting full-speed into the stock market. And it's not just Americans... Foreign investors now hold a record $21 trillion in U.S. stocks – up 170% since 2020. They have an unusually large share of their money in U.S. stocks – more than even during the peak of the dot-com bubble. In other words, the entire world is piling into American stocks. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 just hit a fresh all-time high, adding $11 trillion of value in just seven weeks. This is what a Melt Up looks like. I know what the skeptics will say: "This sounds like a top." But here's what they're missing... Every bull market in history – 1929, the dot-com boom, Japan in the late '80s, and more –followed the same exact pattern. Stocks rise steadily for years... Then, something changes. People who sat on the sidelines panic that they're missing out. They rush in all at once... prices explode... and then, when there's nobody left to buy... it all comes crashing down. We're not at peak euphoria yet. Not even close. You'll know it arrives when your neighbors and barber are giving you stock picks. But Melt Ups happen fast. During the dot-com bubble, the Nasdaq nearly doubled in just a few months. The window is still open – for now. That's why I just published a brand-new presentation laying out everything you need to know to maximize your returns during the Melt Up (including how to know when to get out before the Melt Down). Watch it right here while there's still time. Regards, Brett Eversole P.S. If you're over 55, navigating the next 12 to 18 months in the markets will be the final, most important decision of your financial life – the difference between the retirement you've planned for... and one haunted by "what ifs." You deserve to be on the right side of it. Click here to learn the simple steps I'm urging my readers to take before it's too late. Today’s editorial pick for you 3 Dividend ETFs to Buy for Steady Income During Market VolatilityPosted On May 29, 2026 by Ian Cooper 
Market swings can test even the most patient investors. It’s tempting to react to sharp price movements, but for those with a focus on income, volatility doesn’t have to be a cause for panic. Instead, for peace of mind, you can jump into trustworthy dividend ETFs that have a history of strength and consistently pay out dividends. Table of ContentsFor investors looking to generate passive income, reduce portfolio stress, and stay invested during turbulent markets, dividend ETFs remain one of the most dependable long-term strategies. Whether your goal is monthly income, lower volatility, or dividend growth, funds like the SPDR S&P Dividend ETF, Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF, and Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF stand out as compelling options in today’s uncertain market environment. Here are three to consider. SDY Holds Companies With Decades of Dividend IncreasesThe SPDR S&P Dividend ETF (NYSEARCA: SDY) invests in companies that have increased dividends for at least 20 consecutive years. With an expense ratio of 0.35%, the SDY ETF yields about 2.46% and gives investors access to some of the market’s most reliable dividend payers. These companies have maintained their dividends through events like the dot-com crash, the financial crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, some of its top holdings include Verizon, Realty Income, Target, Chevron, Kimberly-Clark, and Exxon Mobil. Why Monthly Dividend Payments Make SPHD AttractiveWith an expense ratio of 0.30%, the Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF (NYSEARCA: SPHD) targets both high dividends and low volatility, offering a 4.66% yield. For retirees or anyone relying on dividend income to cover living expenses, monthly payouts make budgeting much simpler. One of SPHD’s most attractive features is its monthly dividend payout schedule. For retirees or income-focused investors, monthly payments can make money flow much more easily. Some of its top holdings include ConAgra Brands, Verizon, Altria Group, Pfizer, VICI Properties, and ONEOK Inc., to name a few of its 50 total holdings. It also pays out a monthly dividend. In fact, it just paid a dividend of just over 20 cents per share on April 24. Before that, it paid out just over 20 cents on March 27. And before that, it paid just over 20 cents on February 27. VIG Offers Diversified Exposure to Blue-Chip Dividend StocksWith an expense ratio of 0.05% and a monthly yield of 1.56%, the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (NYSEARCA: VIG) is also an attractive opportunity. It tracks the performance of the S&P U.S. Dividend Growers Index and invests in large-cap stocks with a record of dividend growth. Some of the VIG ETF’s 338 holdings include Apple, Microsoft, Broadcom, JPMorgan, Eli Lilly, Visa, Exxon Mobil, UnitedHealth Group, Mastercard and Costco Wholesale to name a few. It pays a quarterly dividend, last paying just over 83 cents a share on March 31. Before that, it paid out just over 88 cents per share on December 24. How Dividend ETFs Can Reduce Portfolio StressMarket volatility is never comfortable, but it doesn’t have to derail a long-term investment strategy. For income-focused investors, dividend ETFs can provide stability by delivering regular payouts while still offering exposure to quality companies with proven track records. Funds like the SPDR S&P Dividend ETF, Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF, and Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF each offer a different approach to generating income, whether through higher yields, lower volatility, or long-term dividend growth. While no investment is completely immune to market swings, owning diversified ETFs filled with financially strong companies can make it easier to stay invested during uncertain times.
