One simple strategy inside⦠[TradeSmith Daily]( 39% of Americans Will Work Until They Die — And the One Way to Avoid That Fate
Like a drowning man whoâs watching as their rescuing lifeboat gets carried away by the tide, folks here in America are watching that sanctuary of a âcomfortable retirementâ drift further and further from their grasp. Just last year, surveyed Americans said that safe Golden Years carried a retirement-savings price tag of $1.7 million. Just one year later — thanks to surging uncertainty around the world and the gnawing of inflation — that estimate has surged to $1.8 million… a $100,000 jump in a single year. With retirement nest eggs averaging a paltry $65,000, that retirement lifeboat seems far away indeed. But hereâs the real kicker. According to the latest Gallup data, 39% of Americans donât own stocks. Like at all.
Which means they arenât investing in the one asset that can help them swim for that sanctuary. And when you donât own stocks, your return on investment (ROI) is always going to be the same: Zero. Now, I get why this is happening. Especially now — when stocks are getting hit again⦠people see stock prices seesawing each day. If we donât see immediate results or see temporarily discouraging results, we feel like that âcomfortable retirementâ will always seem to be just out of reach. Thatâs a big reason for the whole âwork until you dieâ movement thatâs especially resonating with Gen-Xers. But it doesnât have to be that way. Small steps taken consistently can and will add up. And that brings me to a strategy â and one investment — that will put you on the right side of those Gallup poll numbers. Iâm talking about income, dividends, and the âroyaltyâ of both.

If you want to [create wealth]( you canât do it without income — it provides streams of cash that come your way even while stock prices whipsaw in unpredictable ways. As boring as they seem, dividends are one great source of those cash streams. Thatâs especially true of Dividend Aristocrats — S&P 500 companies that have boosted payouts every year for at least the last 25 years. And there are ETFs that target these cash-stream royalty companies. ETFs hold a âbasketâ of companies, mitigating risk so that a stumble by one doesnât torpedo the whole fund. You may not get the same gains that a single zooming stock will deliver. But for playing the long game — the essence of retirement saving — ETFs can help build that retirement nest egg. Want an example? Check out the ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF (NOBL) — the only opportunity (according to ProShares) exclusively focused on the Dividend Aristocrats. Those companies can do that because of strong management teams, proven business models, and the ability to generate a ton of cash flow. Companies like:
- Loweâs Companies Inc. (LOW)
- Sherwin-Williams Co. (SHW)
- Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)
- AFLAC Inc. (AFL)
- McDonaldâs Corp. (MCD)
Just to name a few out of its 60+ holdings. While price appreciation isnât the main focus of an income-generating investment like NOBL, since inception in 2013, the NOBL stock chart has mostly looked like walking up a staircase, with returns of 183%. Every $10,000 invested since the inception of the ETF is now worth over $28,000. Not bad for something filled with âboringâ companies selling tools, paint, headache medicine, insurance, and burgers.

And hereâs another wealth-boosting benefit of NOBL — its dividend payout. Compared to that microscopic average money market yield of 0.23%, NOBLâs yield is 1.88%… more than eight times larger. RECOMMENDED LINK [How to Tap into Wall Streetâs âSecret Weaponâ](

Now, I know there are other dividend stocks with higher yields, and one ETF isnât going to be enough to fully put someoneâs retirement back on track. But itâs an entry point — to start generating income and receive dividend payouts to get you on the path to building that retirement nest egg. NOBL triggered an Entry Signal on August 17, meaning our system classifies it as an investment worthy of your investable dollars. Our tools also classify it as âlow riskâ at 13.01%: Risk Breakdown:
- Up to 15% = Low Risk
- 15%-30% = Medium Risk
- 30%-50% = High Risk
- 50% and above = Sky-High Risk
The bottom line is that many people know they should be doing more to [retire with peace of mind]( but donât know where to start. The NOBL ETF is one of the easiest ways to get started. Because when it comes to building wealth — and generating income — dividends are a front-and-center cash-stream strategy… albeit one thatâs a bit more about passive investing. There are also more âactiveâ approaches to income generation — strategies that involve more frequent transactions, but with our help here really are still relatively simple. Because before you go, I also want to share a bonus income-generating opportunity. One that involves receiving an email every day at noon, following a straightforward set of instructions, and receiving up-front payouts. Itâs within our Constant Cash Flow service, which youâre free to learn more about [here](. Enjoy your Thursday, [Keith Kaplan]Keith Kaplan
