A two-decade high for the dollar … why its strength is so bad for earnings … the second way a strong dollar hurts stocks … relief from Europe? That’s the thing about bear-market rallies – they’re very convincing. Yesterday, we watched the last few drops of the summer bear-market rally swirl down the drain, as the S&P set a fresh low for 2022. As I write on Tuesday, this morning’s rally has fizzled. All three indexes were up roughly 1% (the Nasdaq was up 1.6%). But they’re all in the red at the moment, though who knows where they’ll be when you read this. U.S. stocks face a laundry list of problems. But let’s zero in on one in particular – one that was responsible for billions of losses in Q2 earnings. For example, this problem cost IBM $900 million in Q2. And the tech giant expects the issue will shave about 8 percentage points off of its Q3 results. For Pepsi, its Q2 earnings were 2% lower than they’d have otherwise have been because of the problem we’re about to discuss. Johnson & Johnson’s Q2 revenues took a huge hit, but the bigger issue was its full-year forecast.
These are seven of the best stocks to buy that can see substantial returns in the months ahead. Despite the ongoing worries on Wall Street, seasoned investors realize that there may be a bull market in some segments of the market even during these gloomy weeks. Fears of sticky inflation and recession led to many investors reevaluating their investments or pulling their money out of the stock markets altogether. As a result, the S&P 500 index has dropped 23% year to date, while the tech-heavy NASDAQ 100 has lost close to a third of its value. However, for investors who research further, there is always a chance to find the best stocks to buy in a hidden bull market. Including several of those shares could help boost the performance of investment portfolios despite the overall market chaos. Even in 2022, with interest rates hitting a 14-year high in the U.S. and stocks getting hammered, we are experiencing localized bull markets in the energy and utility sectors. For instance, the energy sector, overall, has returned around 18% since January.

The U.S. dollar is the strongest it’s been in decades , and it’s showing no signs of cooling off. Given the continuing focus by financial markets on the aggressive monetary policy tightening by the Federal Reserve, the dollar’s strength should continue against most foreign currencies at least until year-end. That has major implications for multinational companies, and for the investors who buy their stocks. An easing of inflationary pressures and improving global growth conditions are likely needed to bring about a peak in the dollar, conditions that are unlikely to materialize anytime soon. Investors around the world have flocked to the dollar because it is a source of stability amid weak global economic conditions. The greenback has also benefited from the high commodity prices this year stoked by Russia’s war in Ukraine . SEE MORE Don''t Give Up on the Eurozone Nearly all currencies have fallen against the buck over the past several months. While currencies in emerging markets generally feel pressure when investors flock to the dollar, those of developed countries also have fallen this time.
No-brainer dividend stocks provide investors with a safe place to put their money and leave it. A dividend is the distribution of a company’s earnings to its shareholders that typically takes the form of a quarterly distribution. However, some dividend distributions are made on a monthly or annual basis. Most dividends are paid out as cash or in the form of a reinvestment in additional stock of the company. How much of a dividend an investor gets depends on how many shares of a company’s stock they hold. Over time, dividend payments can add up significantly and many people come to depend on them as a source of income, particularly in retirement. Investors with big stock holdings can earn millions of dollars a year from dividend distributions. For example, famed investor Warren Buffett owns 400 million shares of Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO ). Hr earns $704 million a year in dividend payments based on Coke’s annual dividend payout of $1.76 per share . That’s just one of many high-yielding dividend stocks the Oracle of Omaha has in his portfolio.

There are many reasons to like high-yield dividend stocks. If you’re a retiree looking to generate a steady income stream from your portfolio, high-yielders can provide you the cash flow you seek from a much smaller capital base compared to other investment vehicles. Even if you’re more capital growth-focused than income-focused with your portfolio, stocks with high-yield dividends yields can also help you achieve your investing objectives. As Louis Navellier has argued, the steady profits generated from their large quarterly or monthly payouts can be reinvested , helping to boost compounded returns. Having said all of this, if you decide to pursue this investing strategy, keep in mind the importance of being selective. Many stocks sporting a high yield can be best described as yield traps . In other words, stocks with unsustainable dividends that they’ll either have to cut or suspend down the road. But in the case of these seven high-yield dividend stocks, yield trap risk is minimal.
As we progress through the second quarter earnings season, many top retailers are reporting earnings this week. With first quarter earnings reportedly weak for many retailers due to large amounts of sitting inventory, companies such as Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT ) missed on Q2 earnings while meeting revenue predictions, and Walmart Inc (NYSE: WMT ) beat both EPS and revenue estimates for Q2. Meanwhile, Best Buy Co Inc (NYSE: BBY ) and many others will be looking to report stronger earnings this quarter as they push out excess inventory. If you''re looking for retail stocks to hedge against inflation risk or capture profits headed into the holiday season, a simple way to do this would be to invest in retail stocks offering dividends.

The Rhine River is adding to Europe’s economic woes … assessing the impact of an international slowdown on the S&P … is Wall Street expecting too much dovishness from the Fed? Europe’s impending recession is about to get much worse. To understand why, let’s turn our attention to the Rhine, which is Europe’s longest, and arguably, most important river. It flows through six countries – Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, France and the Netherlands – before dumping into the North Sea near Rotterdam. It also serves as a key European trade route, responsible for roughly $80 billion in annual commerce, as well as the daily trade of hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil products. Source: Shutterstock The problem is it’s drying up. The water-levels are so low they’re nearly impassable for trade barges in certain areas. This is threatening to tighten the chokehold around a frail European economy that’s already gasping from the pandemic and drastically-lowered energy imports from Russia.
