Fed Chair Powell’s Debut, Retail Earnings Roundup, and the Dividend Cushion!
The 10-year Treasury yield continues to outpace that of the average dividend yield of an S&P 500 stock, and portfolio managers continue to evaluate long-term allocations as a result.

Cisco, the workhorse of both simulated newsletter portfolios, put up a fantastic report and upped its dividend.

2018 Starts Out with a Bang!
Image Shown: An ETF that measures momentum (MTUM) has done considerably better than the S&P 500 since the beginning of 2017.
