DIVIDEND ACCELERATORS WEEKLY:

Financial Services & Energy Infrastructure Focus
(Ex-Div Dates This Friday)

Progressing...
Editor's Note:
This week's "Dividend Accelerators Weekly" analysis focuses on three exceptional dividend opportunities approaching their ex-dividend dates. Our selection features Morgan Stanley (MS), a premier investment bank offering a reliable 3.89% yield; Targa Resources (TRGP), a midstream energy leader delivering a growing 1.97% yield with significant upside potential; and Citizens Financial Group (CFG), providing an attractive 5.13% yield in regional banking. These selections represent key sectors - investment banking, energy infrastructure, and regional banking - offering investors a balanced approach to dividend income as we navigate through early 2025. With all three stocks approaching their ex-dividend dates on January 31, 2025, timing is crucial for investors seeking to capture these upcoming dividend payments.

For those seeking exceptional investing opportunities, I highly recommend watching 50-yr Wall Street legend: "Buy this stock during the tech pullback" from one of our trusted partners.

Watch out for when Trump says these exact 13 words

These 13 words just sent panic across Wall Street and America's biggest banks.

Why?

Because with the stroke of a pen, Pres. Trump could destroy the rigged financial system that's been robbing Main Street Americans blind since 1971.

And he's been telegraphing this move all along.

See, Trump began stockpiling massive amounts of physical gold in 1974 – when President Ford lifted the 41-year ban on private gold ownership.

Even now, he demands gold bars as security deposits for his luxury properties...

And according to a groundbreaking NASDAQ investigation that's been confirmed by a Pulitzer Prize–worthy Bloomberg report...

It's emerged that Pres. Trump has assembled a dream team determined to return America to sound money principles.

The last president to try anything this daring was Herbert Hoover – until FDR swooped in, confiscated Americans' private gold, and devalued the dollar by 40%.

Now, Trump's next move is perhaps Washington's best-kept secret...

That's why Steve Bannon – Trump's former chief strategist – sent money managers into a panic when he recently let slip that:

Trump Could Restore America To The Gold Standard In An Emergency Executive Order...

And for investors who position their money in advance, this historic opportunity could change everything.

That's why Mar-a-Lago insiders Larry Kudlow and Roger Stone are urging you to grab your copy of this FREE 2025 Gold Guide...

As it reveals a little-known "Trump Loophole" that lets you move your IRA and 401(k) into physical gold – 100% TAX-FREE.

America has finally found a president with the courage to break Wall Street's roller-coaster death grip on your money.

So follow his lead, grab your free copy of this guide, and make this 1 simple, tax-free move now.

Your family will thank you for it.

Tech pullback – or tech crash?

After kicking off its best year since 2009, the Nasdaq has begun to tumble – with Wall Street darling NVDA leading the fall.

Now, millions of investors are left to wonder: Is this the beginning of the end of the AI bull market?

But here's the tech investing story that isn't making headlines right now...

Even as most tech stocks have faltered... including NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, and MSFT...

One under-the-radar AI firm is going against the trend – and actually just hit a one-year high.

Likely due to the fact that it recently inked a major deal with Meta Platforms – which could send $250 million in revenue into this company's coffers.

But that's only one of many reasons why one 50-year Wall Street veteran is calling it his #1 stock of 2025.

He returned to Wall Street to issue a massive AI prediction – including exactly what AI stocks to buy, and avoid, for the highest potential gains in 2025.
