Realty Income is a perfect fit for my income-focused investment strategy. My top financial goal for this year is to grow my passive income. I want to become more financially independent. For me, that means generating enough passive income to cover my basic living expenses. Realty Income (O 0.17%) is an income juggernaut. That's why I plan to load up on the real estate investment trust (REIT) this year. Part of Realty Income's stated mission is to invest in places that "deliver dependable monthly dividends that increase over time." The REIT has certainly delivered on that mission over the years. It has declared 667 consecutive monthly dividends since its formation more than half a century ago. Meanwhile, it has raised its payment 133 times since its public market listing in 1994, -- including for the last 113 quarters in a row -- growing it at a 4.2% compound annual rate during that time frame. The REIT currently has a 5.1% dividend yield, which is several times higher than the S&P 500 (1.2% yield). That high-yielding payout is on rock-solid ground. Realty Income's diversified portfolio generates very stable rental income backed by long-term net leases that require tenants to cover all property operating costs. It also has a very strong financial profile, including one of the 10 best balance sheets in the sector. That gives it the flexibility to continue growing its portfolio of income-producing real estate.

Bird's-eye view of central Tokyo including Tokyo Tower at sunrise hours. Vladimir Zakharov | Moment | Getty Images Japanese stocks jumped to a record high Monday, leading gains in the region after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi won a landmark election victory. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party captured a two-thirds supermajority in the 465-seat lower house, public broadcaster NHK reported. "A decisive win for Takaichi could be the best outcome for markets over the medium term, as strategic investments and tax reform bolster equities," said Sree Kochugovindan, senior research economist at Aberdeen Investments. Japan's Nikkei 225 jumped over 4% to cross 56,000 for the first time, while the Topix added 2.27%, also notching a record high. Takaichi administration has gained stronger momentum to pursue a major shift toward proactive fiscal policy, backed by a clear public mandate, Crédit Agricole CIB echoed in a note following her victory. U.S. President Donald Trump congratulated Takaichi on her victory in a TruthSocial post. " She is a highly respected and very popular Leader. Sanae's bold and wise decision to call for an Election paid off big time," he wrote. "The wonderful people of Japan, who voted with such enthusiasm, will always have my strong support." The election follows political upheaval last year, when the LDP lost its majority in the Upper House, and a Lower House defeat in 2024, which prompted then-Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba to resign in September. Elsewhere, other Asian markets also traded higher. South Korea's Kospi jumped 4.15%, while the small-cap Kosdaq added 2.97%. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 jumped 1.65% in early trading. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index futures were at 27,053 compared with the index's last close of 26,559.95. U.S. futures inched higher in early Asia hours. Last Friday in the U.S., stocks surged as tech names recovered following several days of heavy selling in the sector and bitcoin rebounded following a rout that took the popu...

US stock futures edged higher Sunday night as investors geared up for a packed week of economic data and corporate earnings, following a turbulent stretch that ended with the Dow Jones Industrial Average reaching a record close above 50,000 on Friday. Futures linked to the S&P 500 (ES=F) rose 0.4%, while Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ=F) climbed about 0.6%. Dow futures (YM=F) edged up 0.2%. On Friday, the Dow (^DJI) surged more than 1,200 points, or 2.5%, notching its first-ever close above 50,000 after briefly crossing the milestone intraday. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) and Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) both finished up around 2%, as Wall Street recovered from a week of heavy losses driven by a tech-led sell-off. Software shares bore the brunt of the pressure last week, while a broader risk-off mood developed in response to AI expenditure reaching new heights. Amazon (AMZN), Google (GOOG), Meta (META), and Microsoft (MSFT) have planned a combined spend of $650 billion in a development race with no clear frontrunner. Markets' comeback is set to run head first into a week packed with key economic data, with the delayed January employment report scheduled for release Wednesday. The data was originally slated for last Friday but was postponed due to the partial government shutdown. Expectations are muted after ADP reported just 22,000 private-sector job additions last month, down from 140,000 in the same period last year. Also on deck is January’s consumer price index, set for release Friday following its own shutdown-related delay. On the earnings front, releases from Coca-Cola (KO), McDonald's (MCD), Cisco (CSCO), and ON Semiconductor (ON) highlight the week. Those reports will help shape expectations for the Federal Reserve's interest rate path ahead, as investors weigh how US monetary policy could evolve under President Trump’s pick to succeed Fed Chair Jerome Powell, former Fed governor Kevin Warsh. Although Warsh is widely viewed as a policy hawk and served at the central bank during...

It was heady stuff coming on the heels of America's surgically precise use of military force in Venezuela. And, for a president who a few days later would tell the New York Times that the only limit on his global powers are "my own morality" and "my own mind", it may have been warmly received.

The Nikkei 225 benchmark jumped as much as 4.2% to a fresh record as of 9:05 a.m. local time, with the broader Topix also up as much as 2.6% to a new peak. Electronics and banks led the climb. Takaichi’s ruling coalition secured an overwhelming majority in Sunday’s lower-house vote, giving her a stronger mandate to pursue fiscal expansionary policies that have already helped drive Japanese stocks to record highs. Her election promise of a temporary cut to the consumption tax on food has also boosted retail stocks in recent weeks. Read: Takaichi Triumphs With Japan’s Biggest Post-War Election Victory Takaichi’s win “far surpassed” initial expectations, and “has the potential to open the floodgates on her expansionary policies,” wrote Andrew Jackson , head of Japan equity strategy at Ortus Advisors, in a note. He expects upside for defense-related stocks like Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., as Takaichi has pledged to increase security spending, along with space-related names, financial stocks, and food-linked shares.
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) guidance is that a seafarer is abandoned when their shipowner fails to cover the cost of his or her repatriation, or has left them without the necessary maintenance and support, or has otherwise unilaterally severed ties with them. The latter includes failure to pay contractual wages for a period of at least two months.
