Introduction S&P 500 Blue Chips
The S&P 500 is a popular proxy to represent the state of the stock market. Since stock prices of the S&P 500 bottomed out in the spring of 2009, the index produced above-average performance approaching 15% per annum.
However, simultaneous with this great performance came high valuations significantly above historical norms. To make matters worse, it appears that the US economy is headed into what could be a serious recession while simultaneously the market was overvalued.
In general terms, this is a recipe for disaster. On the other hand, since it is a market of stocks and not a stock market, there are pockets within the S&P 500 where valuation, quality, and even strong dividend growth is available.

In this video, I identified and review 19 S&P 500 blue-chip, investment grade, dividend growth stocks in the S&P 500 that offer a margin of safety. Given the potential ramifications of overall weakness in the economy and the market, these companies may offer conservative investors an opportunity to invest for safety, income, and even high long-term returns.
Imagine having 12 new monthly income checks, carrying the potential of up to 21% yields.This is possible because of a tested strategy to get paid out regularly, like a paycheck. For over a decade, I have helped more than 26,000 investors secure 12 new monthly payouts. Meaning, you know exactly how much you'll make every month... Because of some stocks that pay us 8%,13.4%, and even 21.6% yields. See it for yourself here.
