Having more income than you know what to do with every month. Sounds pretty exciting, huh?
Well, I’m going to give you a crack at it today.
And the cool part is, we’re going to do it with some of the most boring, ho-hum stocks trading on the market right now. They’re not a thrill-a-minute, but the truth is they’re some of the market’s top performers this year.
Buying and holding these picks alone would get you a long way toward Easy Street, but the dead-simple trading strategy I’m going to show you – that anyone can make, whether you’ve been trading for 15 minutes or 15 years – will have you collecting regular payouts as a “kicker”…
These Three Stocks Are the Key This Week
It’s not flashy technology, it’s not red-hot real estate or healthcare, but regular old everyday utilities – water and power – is where we’ll find the best stocks right now.

The stock market finished Wednesday on a quiet note, with various major benchmarks moving in different directions. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down about 90 points on weakness in some major industrial and insurance company names, but the Nasdaq Composite posted a similar-sized percentage gain. More broadly, market participants appear to be waiting to see whether strong corporate performance can keep overcoming pressure on the geopolitical front and send stocks to new highs. For some individual companies, though, bad news pushed shares lower. CenturyLink (NYSE:CTL), Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI), and Lear (NYSE:LEA) were among the worst performers on the day. Here’s why they did so poorly.
