Dear Fellow Investor,

TOP WAYS TO KEEP YOUR PORTFOLIO SAFE AT ALL TIMES

When markets turn volatile, the smartest investors don’t
panic—they rebalance toward QUALITY, DURABILITY, AND INCOME.
That’s why dividend-focused strategies, especially those built on
long-term consistency, often outperform during uncertainty. And few
groups embody long-term resilience better than the DIVIDEND
ARISTOCRATS and DIVIDEND KINGS.

Dividend Aristocrats have raised their payouts for 25+ CONSECUTIVE
YEARS, while Kings have done so for 50+ YEARS, surviving recessions,
inflation shocks, rate hikes, tech busts, financial crises, pandemics,
and every imaginable market cycle. If a company has been able to raise
its dividend during all of that, it deserves a closer look.

There’s only one catch: there’s still NO DIVIDEND KING ETF.
Investors looking for safety, stability, and income need to either
choose individual names or tap into high-quality ETFs that capture
many Aristocrat-level companies.

Below are three standout ETF options, each offering diversification,
reliability, and attractive income.

-------------------------

ETF: PROSHARES S&P 500 DIVIDEND ARISTOCRATS ETF (SYM: NOBL)

If you want to anchor your portfolio in long-term stability, it’s
hard to beat the S&P 500 DIVIDEND ARISTOCRATS—and NOBL remains the
cleanest, most direct way to access them.

The ETF currently yields 2.03% and carries a reasonable 0.35% EXPENSE
RATIO. More importantly, NOBL holds only companies that have increased
dividends for AT LEAST 25 STRAIGHT YEARS. Many of its holdings have
delivered closer to 40 YEARS of uninterrupted dividend growth, making
this one of the most durable income vehicles available today.

You’ll find some of the most trusted names in the market here,
including:

*
CATERPILLAR

*
PENTAIR

*
ABBVIE

*
AFLAC

*
GENERAL DYNAMICS

*
CLOROX CO.

*
WALMART

*
HORMEL FOODS

These aren’t just strong brands—they’re battle-tested companies
with management teams committed to returning capital to shareholders
through both good times and bad.

Why does this matter for safety?

Because dividend growth is often a sign of:

*
HEALTHY FREE CASH FLOW

*
STABLE OR EXPANDING PROFIT MARGINS

*
STRONG BALANCE SHEETS

*
DISCIPLINED CAPITAL ALLOCATION

These companies typically avoid excessive leverage, operate in
essential industries, and maintain decades-long histories of
operational excellence. That’s why the Aristocrats historically
OUTPERFORM THE BROADER MARKET DURING DOWNTURNS, providing a vital
cushion when volatility spikes.

While the lack of a dedicated Dividend Kings ETF is unfortunate, NOBL
remains the next best thing—and a core option for any investor
looking to fortify their portfolio.

BLACK FRIDAY BRIEFING: A HISTORIC WARNING… AND A RARE OFFER
[[link removed]]

The market is ripping higher - and most investors think that's good
news.

It's not.

Because underneath the surface, the rules of the system are being
rewritten.

And the gap between those who understand what's happening... and those
who don't... is about to explode.

Take Robinhood (HOOD).

My team's system flagged it before it surged more than 71%.

Not because of earnings. Not because of hype. But mostly because the
tools Robinhood is now using are changing how the entire market works.

It's one reason why I believe we're already in the early stages of a
massive financial reset, one that will create a new class of
millionaires, while millions of others get completely left behind.
(It's already happening, too. Over 600,000 millionaires were created
last year alone.)

I just recorded a public briefing that explains what's really
happening, and what I believe is coming next.

AND JUST FOR A FEW DAYS — AS PART OF OUR ANNUAL BLACK FRIDAY EVENT
— YOU HAVE A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACCESS MY LATEST RESEARCH AT THE
LOWEST PRICE WE OFFER ALL YEAR.

SAVINGS BEFORE THE WINDOW CLOSES.

ETF: SCHWAB U.S. LARGE CAP VALUE ETF (SYM: SCHV)

Safety isn't just about dividends—it's also about VALUATION, and
that’s where the SCHWAB U.S. LARGE CAP VALUE ETF (SYM: SCHV) shines.

With an ultra-low 0.04% EXPENSE RATIO and a 2.47% YIELD, SCHV offers
one of the most cost-effective ways to own a diversified portfolio of
high-quality value stocks. Many of these companies also qualify as
Aristocrats, Kings, or high-consistency dividend payers.

Its holdings include some of the most reliable blue chips on the
market:

*
BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY (BRK-B)

*
JOHNSON & JOHNSON (JNJ)

*
EXXON MOBIL (XOM)

*
JPMORGAN CHASE (JPM)

*
HOME DEPOT (HD)

*
ABBVIE (ABBV)

*
PFIZER (PFE)

*
MERCK (MRK)

This is a who’s who of large-cap American excellence—companies
with fortress-like balance sheets, durable cash flow, and decades of
market leadership.

We’ve recommended SCHV before, and the case has only gotten
stronger. The ETF recently CAUGHT STRONG TECHNICAL SUPPORT after a
brief pullback, signaling renewed momentum. With global uncertainty
still elevated and investors shifting back toward quality and value,
SCHV stands out as one of the most attractive
“sleep-well-at-night” positions available.

Among long-term investors, there’s a reason SCHV is becoming a core
holding: it delivers DIVERSIFICATION, DISCIPLINE, AND DIVIDENDS—all
with one of the lowest expense ratios you’ll find.

“SELL THIS, BUY THAT”—YOUR BLACK FRIDAY TRADING GUIDE
[[link removed]]

[bf banner]
[[link removed]]

With Black Friday upon us, there's no better time to rethink your
portfolio — and few opportunities as timely as the one my good
friend and futurist, Eric Fry, just revealed.

Eric has uncovered a powerful investing strategy that boils down to
"SELL THIS, BUY THAT."
[[link removed]]
And with markets shifting faster than ever — especially during this
pivotal holiday trading window — the timing couldn't be more
critical.

His strategy shows you how to unload OVERPRICED AI stocks before the
tech trade finally breaks down…

And then ROTATE INTO SMALLER, UNDER-THE-RADAR NAMES that could become
the real winners of the next major market cycle… the very companies
with the potential to dethrone today's "Mag 7."

As part of a special BLACK FRIDAY OPPORTUNITY, Eric is even giving
away 7 FREE BUY/SELL TRADE IDEAS you can act on immediately.

One of them is what he calls "AN UPGRADE TO TESLA STOCK." It's a
little-known robotics firm already landing contracts with major
companies — with demand soaring and a staggering $23 billion backlog
in the pipeline.

This is the kind of stock that rarely stays quiet for long, especially
during a week when Wall Street is laser-focused on growth stories.

That's why I want to put this opportunity on your radar BEFORE MARKETS
OPEN TOMORROW MORNING.
YOU CAN GET THE NAME AND TICKER SYMBOL HERE.

ETF: SCHWAB U.S. DIVIDEND EQUITY ETF (SYM: SCHD)

If you want income, consistency, and performance in one compact
package, SCHD continues to be one of the best all-around dividend ETFs
on the market.

With an expense ratio of 0.06% and a strong 3.58% YIELD, SCHD tracks
the DOW JONES U.S. DIVIDEND INDEX, which screens for high-quality,
high-yield companies with sustainable payout ratios and strong balance
sheets.

Among its top holdings:

*
AMGEN

*
ABBVIE

*
HOME DEPOT

*
CISCO SYSTEMS

*
BROADCOM

*
CHEVRON

*
UPS

*
COCA-COLA

These companies are not only reliable dividend payers—they’re also
leaders in their respective industries, with durable competitive
advantages that help them navigate both stable and unstable markets.

What makes SCHD unique is its focus on QUALITY SCREENS, emphasizing:

*
STRONG CASH FLOW

*
CONSISTENT PROFITABILITY

*
HIGH RETURN ON EQUITY

*
LOW DEBT BURDENS

This combination helps SCHD avoid the “yield traps” that sometimes
plague high-dividend funds. Instead, the ETF focuses on COMPANIES THAT
CAN SUSTAIN—AND GROW—THEIR DIVIDENDS OVER TIME.

For investors looking to blend income, defense, and long-term
appreciation potential, SCHD fits beautifully alongside NOBL and SCHV.
It adds additional diversification while strengthening the
portfolio’s yield and quality profile.
