Dear Reader, Income from your stocks wasn’t a priority for most investors two years ago. It was all about cryptos and SPACS. Tech stocks and wind farms… Income was for losers. Now, income is cool. Term deposits are back, baby! 5%? I’ll take some of that, please. How will hindsight judge this mindset in two years’ time? It’s a tough question to answer. On the surface, it makes sense to be looking for income opportunities right now. Especially in the safety of the bank. With the RBA hiking rates and expected to keep them higher for longer, ‘risk-free’ options like cash and term deposits look pretty good. The lagged impact of the rate rises will continue to slow the economy in the second half of the year. But that doesn’t mean you opt for income at any cost. Instead…you should go for income ‘with a growth chaser’. Click here to learn which stocks I think are providing that right now.
