Is Dow Theory Telling Us The Stock Rally Is Going To Fail? | Seeking Alpha



Here is an excellent article about investing aspects of the Dow stocks and transportation stocks.  If both are making new highs, we are in a bull market.  If both are making new lows, we are in a bear market.  If the Dow is making new highs while transportation is not, then we are in uncertain times. 



In other words, you are better sitting in preferred dividend stocks like PFF and FFC along with government bonds in BLV.  If you own individual stocks, it should be only the strongest ones like AMZN and FB.  I own all the stocks mentioned here since nobody knows what the stock market will do next.

Here is a great article telling about business REIT stocks.  The author discusses in detail about Realty Income being the best triple REIT stock except that it is overvalued now, and the dividend is lower than it used to be.  Spirit Realty is paying a dividend of more than 5%, and the author thinks the company has room to grow.  If you don't want to own individual business REIT stocks, you could own REIT funds like VNQ or FTY.  Anyway, stocks like these should be a part of each person's portfolio for proper diversification.

S&P 500 Weekly Update: The Rally Continues With Fresh Record Highs In A Resilient Uptrend - SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY) | Seeking Alpha



This is a very good article about why the stock market will continue to rise.  Earnings are expected to rebound more than 13% in 2017 after declining the last several quarters.  However, since earnings season is over for this quarter, the market will probably gradually backtrack until the next earnings season.  Stock market leaders like AMZN, BABA, FB, and GOOG will be worthwhile for buying on pullbacks.  Just as they advanced during this past earnings season, they will be even higher after the next round of earnings.

Calendula: MedlinePlus Supplements

Calendula: MedlinePlus Supplements



Calendula is an excellent herb that can be used for slow wound healing.  It is available as a cream or liquid extract.  It comes from the marigold flower.  It also contains lutein which is very helpful for eyes.  I have already been taking extracts of Calendula orally, and I believe my eyes have been helped.  I am planning to order Calendula cream for skin irritations also.

Sell Everything! - SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY) | Seeking Alpha



This is a great article about how several large hedge fund leaders are advising investors against owning stocks and bonds.  While I agree in principle with these top investors, money can still be made in preferred stock ETFs, CEFs, and long term bonds.  I concur that future returns will be reduced from what we are accustomed to seeing, but some of the stocks that I own will average 5% or more on average in returns.  I recommend owning PFF, FFC, HTD, and BLV to keep making money while uncertainty continues about the total stock market direction.

Between A Rock And A Hard Place - ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury ETF (NYSEARCA:TBT) | Seeking Alpha



Lance Roberts has written an excellent article about the current state of the state market.  The bears really got gored this past week by the bull when good employment numbers came out.  This also may become a frequent scenario while the stock market is at a top.



Another good point Lance made was about the STUB stocks (staples, telecom, utilities, and bonds) doing well this year.  I am planning to buy XLP, the staples ETF, sometime in the near future.  The stock is near its 50-day support line, and it should be going up again soon.  I also plan to buy IDV, the international dividend select ETF, which is paying more than 5% now in dividends.

High Dividend Stock Yields 9%, Pays Monthly, 4 Dividend Payouts, Below Book Value - Gladstone Investment (NASDAQ:GAIN) | Seeking Alpha



Here is an outstanding article article on GAIN, a high dividend paying business development company.  I own the company myself, and I plan to buy more soon.  While it is true that the stock market in general has made new highs, I question how long the bull rally will last.  I have been maintaining around 50% of my portfolio in bonds and dividend stocks because I don't know what the major indexes will do over the long term.  So, it is wise to have a good portion of your portfolio in stocks that will pay you no matter what the rest of the stock market does.

Psyllium: What Are the Health Benefits?

Psyllium: What Are the Health Benefits?



This is an excellent article on taking psyllium for regular bowel movements and other benefits.  The brand I like is Metamucil because it tastes okay, and I think it is the safest laxative to take.  Phillips milk of magnesia helps some, but there is a problem with taking too much magnesium.  It can cause bone deterioration.  So, Metamucil is by far my best choice for getting enough fiber.



Psyllium also reportedly helps the heart and lowers cholesterol.  Another study showed that just 5 grams of psyllium per day controlled diabetes.  So, I highly recommend taking psyllium on a regular daily basis.
