If you're looking for retirement stocks, here are seven stocks to buy in Q3

 

 


Retirement stocks are at the center of attention for millions of investors. Rising global tensions, declining markets and the expected recession have investors looking more closely at their longer-term saving plans, be it 401(k)s or IRAs.

 

According to Alicia Munnell, director of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, the current selloff has erased around $3 trillion from retirement accounts stateside. This year’s declines on Wall Street remind us the importance of choosing robust stocks for retirement accounts.

 

Many widely-followed retirement stocks pay stable dividends. According to Barron’s, “well-chosen dividend stocks can help mitigate the effects of market downturns or add juice to rallies, delivering quarterly income that cuts losses and amplifies gains. They can also be a hedge against inflation.”

 

Current bear market conditions present the perfect opportunity to invest in retirement stocks while they’re trading at bargain valuations. If history is any guide, the market will inevitably rebound in future months.

 

 

With that information, here are seven retirement stocks to buy in July:

12 Dividend Aristocrats You Can Buy at a Discount

  2022's broad-market selloff has sparked a fire sale on several Dividend Aristocrats, allowing investors to pick up some of Wall Street's most elite income plays at bargain prices.     The S&P 500 just wrapped up its worst first-half performance since the Nixon era, with shares ending down more than 20% for the six-month period. Few areas of the market were spared; but, fortunately, investors can look to the Dividend Aristocrats to help cushion the blow – and now, they can get some of these elite income plays on the cheap.   The Dividend Aristocrats are a group of 65 S&P 500 dividend stocks that have increased their cash distributions for at least 25 years in a row. And when equity markets are in turmoil, investors tend to shift towards more defensive strategies in an effort to help preserve wealth. One of the best safe havens for investors can be found with the Dividend Aristocrat stocks, which are noteworthy for their resilience and steady income.   The

7 Best Long-Term Dividend Stocks to Buy Right Now

  Dividend stocks are on sale amid the bear market, and these are seven of the best to buy    The bear market has not been limited to a group of high-flying tech stocks. In fact, it hasn’t even been limited to stocks in general. Cryptocurrencies and bonds have also been under intense selling pressure this year. In turn, that has investors searching for the best long-term dividend stocks to buy — and rightfully so.   The companies that have a long history of raising dividends do not necessarily mean the stock is good. However, it is a pretty good indication that the underlying business is healthy. More specifically, it indicates that the business is healthy enough to continually raise its dividend payment, even as it’s likely seeing top- and bottom-line pressure during difficult economic times.   Many of the best long-term dividend stocks have not only paid, but actually raised their payouts through difficult periods. Those periods include raging inflation in the 1980s, two

7 Dividend Stocks Trading at a Huge Discount Right Now

  Strong dividend bearing stocks can still be found at discounted prices        Dividend stocks have enjoyed an uptick in popularity over the past few months. Most pundits, myself included, would argue that there’s a massive buying opportunity afoot currently. The S&P 500 fell into bear market territory which is affecting market perceptions. Again, while there is a lot of fear, that creates opportunity. For one, the official entry into a bear market is likely to push prices down farther. This is advantageous for dividend stocks because their yield will rise as price falls assuming dividends aren’t decreased. That is very attractive to investors who are often lured in by momentarily higher yields. That sudden demand can raise overall prices. Then the dividend yield comes down as price rises. It’s important to remember that the dividend payment remains the same while this occurs. The stock price, though, rises. And that’s one of the main reasons to consider these dividend stocks

  This bear market we currently find us in is bringing tremendous opportunity. In part 1, I talked about how bear markets were short-lived whereas bull markets tend to last a lot longer. Consequently, prudent dividend growth stock investors take advantage of bear markets to position ourselves for safe long-term growth of dividends and capital.   Although we are in this current bear market, I for one do not think it is quite over yet. Nevertheless, many opportunities to invest for dividend growth are presenting themselves. In this video I will feature 6 examples that are close, but not quite there yet. When you find yourselves in risky markets like today, I believe it is incumbent on investors to favor safety over profits.   Therefore, I think the best action is to identify the opportunities as they are unfolding. However, simultaneously exercising the patience to wait for the “fat pitch” that Warren Buffett often talked about. In part 3, I will feature several Dividend Kings th

  The energy sector has outperformed the S&P 500 Index by an impressive margin this year thanks to the rally of oil and gas prices to multi-year highs. While the S&P 500 Index has shed about 20% this year, the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE) has rallied 23% as of this writing. As a result, investors are flocking to energy companies Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX). In this article, we will compare the two oil giants, XOM vs. CVX, in several aspects.   Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX) are the only two oil producers that are Dividend Aristocrats. Therefore they are among the most popular oil companies in the income-oriented and dividend growth investing communities.   Since the onset of the coronavirus crisis, the shift from fossil fuels to clean energy sources has accelerated. Consequently, oil producers have drastically reduced their investments in growth projects, and the oil market has become exceptionally tight.     The situation has become much w

7 Monthly Dividend Stocks to Buy in August 2022

  Get regular passive income payments and possible upside   Passive income is an integral part of a holistic investment portfolio, yet frequency issues tend to pop up with most equities, thereby incentivizing the bullish case for monthly dividend stocks. You see, most companies that offer dividends pay out on a quarterly basis. However, if you’re at least partially depending on this cash flow, your portfolio could get “lumpy” with traditional dividend payers.   On the other hand, monthly dividend stocks operate on the frequency of everyday life. For instance, your rent or mortgage statements are almost always charged on a monthly basis. So are your utility bills, telecommunication services, content streaming platforms and other recurring expenses. By having cash come in every 30 days or so, your bookkeeping can be smoothed out.   Further, there’s also the concept of faster compounding. With monthly dividend stocks, you can take the payouts and invest them into the same unde
