Eoneren/E+ via Getty Images Co-authored with Beyond Saving Usually, I'm writing about what dividend stocks to buy, with a bias toward high yields. So naturally, people are always asking for my opinion on various dividend investments. One class of popular dividend investments that we haven't touched at High Dividend Opportunities are the rapidly growing class of ETFs that generate huge dividends through options strategies. Perhaps the most popular ones today are the "YieldMax" family of funds. YieldMax is well known for having nosebleed distributions. With many funds offering yields that are well into the double-digits. 40, 50, even 80%. We've avoided them. Today, we explain why. Understand How Your Investments Make Money Many investors use the phrase "NAV erosion". However, a large number of investors fail to accurately identify what NAV erosion is. Many simply look at lower prices and assume that NAV has been "eroded". That is too simplistic an assumption because the market is filled with liquid assets that have changing prices. Consider iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF ( TLT ), an ETF that holds 20+ year Treasury Bonds. Its NAV has declined from over $130 to $86 over the past 10 years. Does that mean that TLT is "overpaying" or that NAV is "eroding"? Of course not. The Treasuries that TLT holds are going to pay out their par value at maturity 100% of the time. If they don't, you have bigger issues than what's in your investment portfolio. TLT's price/NAV changes to reflect what the current long-term interest rates are. Data by YCharts If we go back in time, to when the 20-year Treasury rate was near 5%, TLT was trading about where it is trading today: SA with Ycharts TLT's NAV didn't "erode" – the value it trades at changed to reflect current macro-economic conditions. If the 20-year Treasury is ever 1% again, then TLT will be trading over $160. TLT is a good example because it doesn't carry the complexities of credit risk or realizing losses like funds that inv...

Two tankers carrying liquefied natural gas from Qatar appear to have abandoned an effort to exit the Persian Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz — delaying what would have been the first exports to buyers outside of the region since the war started. The Al Daayen and Rasheeda , which each loaded LNG from Qatar’s export plant in late February, have u-turned away from the strait after earlier heading eastward toward the waterway near Oman, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. The Al Daayen is still signaling Qatar’s largest LNG buyer China as its next destination, the data show. Still, destinations are not final and vessels may change their indicated port of call at any time. So far, no loaded LNG tanker has passed through Hormuz since the US and Israel began strikes on Iran in late February. The effective closure of the key waterway near Iran and the Arabian Peninsula has choked off energy flows to global markets, disrupting about a fifth of the world’s supply of LNG. Another tanker, which appeared to not be carrying a shipment, passed through the strait over the weekend. Qatar has delivered two LNG shipments to Kuwait over the past few weeks, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Kpler. These supplies were likely loading from Qatar’s storage tanks, and don’t require traversing Hormuz. Read More: First LNG Tanker Exits Strait of Hormuz Along Omani Coast Tracking vessel movements around the Persian Gulf can be inexact because of the potential for electronic interference with ship signals and the intentional disablement of transponders by pilots sailing through risky zones. Seapeak manages Al Daayen, and Nakilat owns Rasheeda, according to ship database Equasis. Neither company immediately responded to a request for comment. Transit through Hormuz would be a shot in the arm for Qatar, which supplied nearly a fifth of all LNG last year, even as the country’s Ras Laffan export plant has been shut for over a month due to Iranian attacks. This could allow...

Getty Images Survey Monday The U.S. intelligence community doesn't expect China to invade Taiwan in 2027. Do you agree? Click here to take the poll and don't forget to share your thoughts in the WSB comments section . Good morning! Here's the latest in trending: Truce or escalation: Trump sets deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and floats seizing Iranian oil. A 45-day ceasefire is on the table. War windfall: EU members call for windfall tax on energy firms' profits fueled by the Iran war, while U.S. chemical makers see sudden boom. Strategic backing: Paramount ( PSKY ) lines up ~$24B in funding from Gulf sovereign wealth funds for its Warner Bros. ( WBD ) deal. Military posturing? As the world focuses on the Iran war, recent developments may be signaling possible Chinese military activity ahead along some parts of its coastline. China has issued alerts reserving swaths of offshore airspace for a period of 40 days without explanation, The Wall Street Journal reported. What's new: The alerts, known as Notice to Air Missions (or NOTAMs), are in effect from March 27 through May 6 and are intended to flag temporary airspace hazards or restrictions. China has not announced any military exercises in the area for now, but the NOTAMs are similar to alerts used to warn aviation authorities of Chinese military exercises . The reserved airspace is designated as "SFC-UNL" in the NOTAMs. This refers to the altitude restrictions – SFC means surface height or ground level and UNL is unlimited height. The airspace reserved in the alerts is hundreds of miles away from Taiwan, and includes offshore airspace extending from the Yellow Sea facing South Korea, south to waters of the East China Sea facing Japan. Why it matters: "What makes this especially notable is the combination of SFC-UNL with an extraordinary 40-day duration — and no announced e...

The heavyweight from Dagestan now lives in Canada and describes Saturday’s opponent as the ‘professor’ of boxing “This guy is the professor,” Arslanbek Makhmudov says of Tyson Fury as he looks ahead politely to their fight on Saturday night at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. There is none of the usual bluster and malice of heavyweight boxing as the huge Russian from Dagestan shows considerable respect for the former world champion who is making yet another comeback to the ring. “Tyson Fury is the professor of mind and boxing,” Makhmudov continues in his functional but effective English “A lot of boxing is mental and he is a master. But boxing is also spiritual. I am going to be strong, spiritual and smart. You can say this is a war between mental and spiritual and we’ll see who is more successful. Inshallah it is spiritual.” Continue reading...

Oliver Peric/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Introduction Ahead of tomorrow’s launch of my Main Street Alpha service on Seeking Alpha (at least, that sentence is valid if you’re reading this article today, on Monday), I thought about a way to bring some more single stocks to your attention. After all, that’s a promise I made in light of all the in-depth Big Picture reports we did in recent months. However, I didn’t want to make this an article about a few high-yielding stocks I like or something along those lines, or even a stay-away-from-these-stocks-type of article. While I will certainly provide articles like that again in the days/weeks ahead, I wanted to take a little detour today and cover two “riskier” stocks than we usually discuss. Both are on my watchlist, and both have been punished lately. On top of that, both stand out, as they are nothing compared to the more conservative investments you may hold. In this article, I will cover their business models, explain what type of investor may enjoy them, and explain why I expect both companies to deliver elevated returns going forward. And, needless to say, I’ll make sure to include Big Picture developments, so even if you plan to never invest in either of these, you’ll still learn something today. So, let’s get to it! Mosaic Company ( MOS ) - A “Special Occasion” Stock Like everyone else reading this (I think it’s fair to assume that), I like stocks that go up on a very consistent basis. Companies that have figured out how to generate shareholder returns. Mosaic is not one of these companies. I was born in June 1995. If my parents had bought MOS stock for me back then, right now it would be worth roughly the same amount as it was worth back then. And, to make matters worse, that includes all dividends paid since then, as the chart below shows a total return price. TradingView (MOS Total Return) That’s not because it has bad management. It’s because Mosaic, which is based in Tampa, Florida, is a giant that pro...

Seagate Technology ( STX ) was in focus on Monday as Morgan Stanley named it the top pick in the IT Hardware space, replacing Western Digital ( WDC ). Shares rose 2.3% in premarket trading. “Over the course of the last few weeks, our HDD checks have picked up sustained hyperscaler demand strength, elongating customer visibility, firmer pricing into 2027, and an overall improving HDD end-market,” analyst Erik Woodring wrote in a note to clients. “And yet investors continue to under-appreciate the fundamental strength that this environment will translate into for STX and WDC, as both names trade at just 13-14x our new CY27 EPS (10x bull case EPS), which is 25- 30% above Consensus in FY27, and 45-50% above Street in FY28. Simply put, HDD's are perhaps the investments most-levered to data center spending amongst the 'AI picks and shovels' (80-90% DC rev exposure vs. peers at 50%), remain a critical component bottleneck for CSPs, have an attractive industry structure (rational oligopoly benefitting from demand [is greater than] supply and no capacity growth), and our checks are strengthening, which keeps both STX and WDC as our most-favored Overweights and names we'd be adding aggressively to during periods of market-related volatility, though with this report we are switching our 'Top Pick' to STX (from WDC) due to valuation and gross margin expansion factors.” Woodring reiterated his Overweight rating on Seagate and Western Digital and upped his price targets to $582 and $380 from $468 and $369, respectively. Delving deeper, Woodring said his checks have turned even more bullish on hard disk drive pricing lately. Major hyperscaler customers are now coming closer to $20 per terabyte for purchases in 2027 and 2028, compared to current estimates of around $13 to $15 per terabyte. That suggests that negotiations are starting 30% higher (or more) than current estimates and nearly 20% higher than the bull case. “Said differently, given the criticality of the HDD, the strengt...
