Oil = Monthly Income

But it's by far my #1 investment opportunity for 2025.

Honorable Mentions

Quality dividend opportunities that narrowly missed the top 5

NRG Energy (NRG) - Price Target: $78.00

Strong Buy (10 analysts)

NRG Energy's power generation portfolio and retail energy business delivered solid Q1 2025 results with reaffirmed guidance. The company's enhanced share repurchase program and 8% annualized dividend increase demonstrate capital allocation discipline. Despite strong fundamentals, higher P/E valuation and competitive energy markets kept it just outside our top 5 this week.

Ex-Date: Aug 1, 2025 Yield: 1.11% Div Growth: 7.97%

Lamb Weston Holdings (LW) - Price Target: $72.00

Buy (12 analysts)

The global leader in frozen potato products continues to benefit from strong restaurant industry recovery and international expansion. Solid 8.09% dividend growth and defensive food sector positioning make it attractive, but moderately higher valuation and competitive industry dynamics placed it in our honorable mentions this cycle.

Ex-Date: Aug 1, 2025 Yield: 2.53% Div Growth: 8.09%

AES Corporation (AES) - Price Target: $16.50

Hold (8 analysts)

AES offers an exceptional 5.10% dividend yield backed by global power generation and utility operations. The company's renewable energy transition strategy and international diversification provide growth opportunities. However, "Hold" analyst rating and limited coverage prevented inclusion in our top tier, despite attractive current income potential.

Ex-Date: Aug 1, 2025 Yield: 5.10% Div Growth: 2.48%

A 400% Boost to Social Security?

Social Security Benefits

Could This Boost Social Security Benefits by 400%?

If you're collecting—or plan to collect—Social Security, this could be a game-changer.

A new initiative tied to President Trump's Executive Order #14196 could not only rescue Social Security...

But also boost benefits by up to 400%, according to legendary investor Louis Navellier.

The media is taking notice:

The Financial Times calls it:
"A big pot of money for the American people."

The Motley Fool says it may lead to:
"The biggest Social Security change ever."

Is Trump About to Send Gold Soaring? (Just Like 2017)

There is a direct relationship between the actions of President Trump and the price of gold.

2017
Trump Takes Office
$1,100
Gold Price Then
$1,839
Gold Price 2021

When Trump first took office in 2017, gold was sitting at $1,100 an ounce.

And by the time he left office just four years later, gold had surged to $1,839 per ounce.

Today, gold's price started surging again to new record highs as soon as President Trump took office for the second time because he is using the same tactics he employed in his first term.
