Extreme Dividends Investor Group – Current Effects of News re. Our Stocks 5/20/2025

By | May 20, 2025

Hi Everyone,

As a main principle and a successful driving factor of investment methodology, we maintain a wide a diversity of investments to always try to maintain positive dividend cash flow while dampening the noise in our portfolio value – stocks constantly fluctuate in price but in our case they just keep paying us great money!!!!!!. Today there are some things you might want to consider re. acquiring or growing various positions in your extreme dividend portfolios.

HEALTHCARE

  • NEWS – Vaccines are being approved for COVID – maybe the sky is not actually falling in under RFK’s supervision => FAKE NEWS FEARMONGERS JUST GOT EXPOSED AGAIN => This week, people are starting to buy back in to pharma. If you look at a chart of MRNA you will see a flattish bottom out between April and now with what looks like a fish hook beginning to form at the end. As this hook forms, it is a chartist’s classic sign of a rebound. Today is the third day of sequential upward moves. Similarly, as MRNA goes up so does the demand for call options, thus our Hedge Fund MRNY hooks up simultaneously. In previous articles we discussed how very cheap, yet worthwhile, MRNY could be and we discussed the September timing of vaccine season. Some folks will now be choosing to make money on MRNA capital gains, but we find it very profitable to just keep generating dividends with MRNY as shares of MRNA creep up in price. MRNY PAYS A DIVIDEND THIS FRIDAY NIGHT which should be announced tomorrow.

CRYPTO

  • NEWS – Politicians in various governments and the White House are really getting into digital money both as financial holdings and as regulated parts of the economy. The Trump kids are reported to be invested in Stable Coin and who knows what else. During his campaign, Trump addressed a major annual Crypto conference and has since, as promised, captured the US Crypto holdings as a national asset. Bitcoin and others are moving back up. On 4/9 Bitcoin was down to $75,000, but we have always been positive about both call and put hedge funds for Crypto as they both always seem to generate dividends for us. Today Bitcoin is $106,500. Needless to say speculators are buying call options, and investors are buying insurance for their coin related portfolios. We hold MSTY – $23.66 and WNTR – $37.15; CONY – $8.78 and FIAT – $5.28; YBIT – $10.74; LFGY – $40.35; and ULTY – $6.26. CONY and FIAT pay next week, with MSTY and WNTR paying the following week. YBIT just payed last week and ULTY and LFGY pay every week.

INDUSTRIAL

  • SHIPPING – ZIM – $18.67 has recovered from its $11.25 low after its $3.17 dividend near the end of March. Most frequently it was in the news affirming its forecast for continued profitability. Last quarter its profits grew by 28% over a year ago in spite of tariffs etc. Not only do they know how to make money but as the world’s 7th largest container shipper, they are almost debt free. Volatility creates great buying opportunities on this one for us. For next dividend, own by 5/30.
  • SEMICONDUCTORS – This is a deliberately volatilized stock market. But, the market for chips keeps going in spite of all the misleading fake news about Chinese competition which we previously reported on. As under supplied chips generate premium revenues today, profits eventually drive stocks back up along with the demand for calls and puts. WE JUST KEEP MAKING MONEY WITH NVDY – $16.78 and DIPS – $9.19; AMDY – $7.67; CHPY – $51.81; ULTY – $6.22. AMDY pays us next week, the rest pay this week.
  • AI – To our benefit, this is another category of our investments constantly being volatilized by the news media – with fake news trying to suppress values for the short sellers competing with stories about breakthroughs and successes. We own AIYY – $4.58; PLTY – $70.40; SMCY – $20.37; as well as ULTY, AMDY, NVDY, DIPS. AIYY. SMCY pays in 2 weeks. PLTY IS ANOTHER ONE WE HAVE WRITTEN A LOT ABOUT (RE. FAKE NEWS, BARGAIN PRICES AND HIGH DIVIDENDS) – AND IT PAYS THIS WEEK.
  • TRANSPORTATION – The elephant in the room here is TESLA – always in the news being driven from one direction to another, yet owning hedges in both directions WE KEEP COLLECTING GREAT MONEY REGARDLESS. We hold TSLY – $9.18 and CRSH – $4.75 – both massive dividend payers that we collected from last week.

PRECIOUS METALS

  • GOLD – In the news a lot lately and rising because of the devaluation of the dollar, we hold a hedge on the GDX gold miner stock fund. Our GDXY – $15.20 pays well BUT IN A BREAKOUT COULD PAY EXCEPTIONALLY WELL.
  • SILVER Silver usually lags Gold in price movement, which is curious as journals report a shortage in silver production vs demand. So we hold the Swiss Bank Notes SLVO – $70.22 paying 24% for owners by the close of market today. However, IN A BREAKOUT THIS ALSO COULD PAY EXCEPTIONALLY WELL.

ENERGY – With the exception of a few states like AZ, most of America has seen significant drops in the price of fuel, however, not so much in the rest of the world. But with the White house driving to have the USA again become THE world supplier, American Oil and Natural Gas producers and to increase profits. We are invested in the following

  • USOI – We hold the Swiss Bank Notes USOI – $50.38 paying 24% for owners by the close of market today. However, IN A BREAKOUT THIS AS WELL COULD PAY EXCEPTIONALLY WELL, AND HAS PAID 56% IN THE PAST.
  • ECTM – $0.56 paying 18% – Natural Gas Royalty trust that paid good dividends until the Biden White House tried to kill the carbon fuel industry. Potentially under Trump energy policies, this stock will start making a lot of money off of exports. Record high dividend was 12 times greater that today’s $0.05/sh/qtr.

There are several real bargains here and lots of profitability across the board. Check out the charts on each to determine for yourself the values of potential investments and their bargain-worthiness.

Until tomorrow’s alerts,

Regards,
