President Donald Trump&#8216;s ongoing tariff policy changes have resulted in persistent market volatility and uncertainty. This has increased investors' appetite for stable, defensive stocks paying steady dividends. Dividend stocks have <a href="https://www.hartfordfunds.com/dam/en/docs/pub/whitepapers/WP106.pdf">contributed</a> significantly to overall market returns during the 1940s, 1960s, and 1970s, when average annual total returns were lower.
About seven months ago, a dividend investor <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1fldncg/finally_hit_300k_goal/">shared</a> his monthly dividend income details and portfolio on r/Dividends — a Reddit discussion board with over 700,000 followers. The income report shared by the investor showed his monthly dividend income was $23,800, with a projected annual dividend income of just over $300,000.

Dividend Investor in Mid-50s Making $23,800 A Month Shares Portfolio, Says He Started with $3.50/hour  —  'Just 35 Years of Investing'

Dividend stocks are gaining attention as investors crave certainty and downsize protection following market volatility triggered by President Donald Trump's tariff announcement on April 2. Dividend stocks have proven their resilience in the past. The S&amp;P 500 High Dividend Index outperformed the S&amp;P 500 in the dot-com bubble and COVID-19 market crash, according to an <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/documents/education/education-the-importance-of-dividends.pdf">S&amp;P Global</a> research report.
Earlier this month, a dividend investor <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1jqucki/account_update_6000month/">shared</a> his portfolio and income details on r/Dividends — a Reddit discussion board with over 700,000 followers. The portfolio screenshots shared by the investor on the social platform showed his monthly dividend income stood at $6,027.

The investor said he had been waiting to buy stocks on a pullback, and his chance finally came following the recent market selloff.
"What a bloody day today but it did hit the price target I have been waiting for. Now that I reached $6,000, now I am going to use this money to start buying more VOO and discounted tech stocks like Google, Amazon Microsoft, Broadcom, etc."
The investor said dividend investing is not a "get rich quick" scheme and it took him 20 years to reach this income milestone. He urged investors to "keep grinding until we don't have to."
"As long as you are consistent with your investment, you will also get there," he added.

Shares of companies in the broader energy sector are trading higher as oil and natural gas rise. Energy has been volatile as investors assess tariff developments and recent OPEC+ actions.

The bi-directional Traverse Pipeline is designed to transport up to 1.75 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natural gas through approximately 160 miles of 36-inch pipeline along the Gulf Coast between Agua Dulce in&nbsp;South Texas&nbsp;and the&nbsp;Katy&nbsp;area. Supply for the Traverse Pipeline will be sourced from multiple connections, including, but not limited to, the Whistler, Blackcomb, and Matterhorn Express Pipelines. The Traverse Pipeline enhances optionality for shippers to access multiple premium markets.
The Traverse Pipeline will be wholly owned by the Blackcomb Pipeline joint venture, which is owned 70.0% by WPC, 17.5% by Targa, and 12.5% by MPLX, which is incremental to MPLX's ownership interest in WPC.
The Traverse Pipeline will be constructed and operated by WhiteWater and is expected to be in service in 2027, pending the receipt of customary regulatory and other approvals.

Those in the top 20% of riskiest places for such perils paid, on average, 82% more than those in the 20% lowest climate risk zip codes.&nbsp;
This year,<a href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/homeowners-insurance/homeowners-insurance-cost/"> Bankrate</a> showed that the national average cost of home insurance is $2,258 per year for a policy with a $300,000 dwelling limit. —amounting to about $188 per month, a<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/select/homeowners-insurance-skyrocketing-how-to-lower-premium/"> marked increase</a> on the preceding two years.

RBC Capital Maintains Outperform on Enbridge, Raises Price Target to $67

Trump&#8217;s plans to place tariffs on Canada has come as a surprise, and many businesses are scrambling to deal with the potential fallout.
President Trump gave little indication that Canadian tariffs were on the table during his campaign, but now our northerly neighbors face tariffs of as much as 25% on all goods crossing into the United States.
Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reached a deal to delay the tariffs until March, but the threat of increased costs is already causing some companies to take action &#8211; and Canadian consumers to boycott US products.
Here are the five companies that will suffer the most from this surprise trade war.
During the company's recent earnings conference call, Ford CEO Jim Farley said that prolonged tariffs on Canada and Mexico would have a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43524700/ford-ceo-jim-farley-says-trumps-proposed-tariffs-on-mexico-canada-will-be-manageable-in-near-term-but-will-have-huge-impact-if-protracted">significant impact</a> on the US auto industry. But it's not just the auto industry that's come to rely on trading partners. Energy, agriculture, and manufacturing are other sectors that will be affected by increased costs from Canadian goods.
Today, we'll examine five stocks that heavily rely on Canadian imports. Although these companies are in different industries, all would face pressure if the maximum 25% tariff is enacted.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Molson Coors Beverage Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAP#NYSE">TAP</a>)</h2>
Molson Coors could be hit twice by tariffs since the company imports not only Canadian beers to the United States but also aluminum for cans of domestically produced beverages. Molson is responsible for several popular beers like Molson Canadian and Molson Dry. The company would also be at risk of retaliatory tariffs as Coors Light, Miller Genuine Draft, and Blue Moon are also popular beverages imported to Canada from the United States.
The tariff threat comes at an inopportune time for Molson Coors, as the company reported a top and bottom line beat on its February 13 earnings report but projects <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43688209/molson-coors-sees-fy25-net-sales-low-single-digit-increase-versus-2024-on-a-constant-currency-basis">low single-digit sales growth</a> over the full 2025 year.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="317" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165314/MCB-1024x317.png" alt="" class="wp-image-783941" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165314/MCB-1024x317.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165314/MCB-300x93.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165314/MCB-768x238.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165314/MCB.png 1244w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
TAP shares have been in a tailspin since Thanksgiving, dropping from $62 to $53 before the recent earnings jump. Despite the quality report, this could be an excellent spot to unload the stock before the Trump administration hits Canada with forceful tariffs. Based on Benzinga's market search, TAP shares are covered by 27 different analysts with an average rating of Hold and a consensus price target of $62.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>)</h2>
The auto industry is at the highest risk of pain from tariffs, and Stellantis could face pressure from several angles. The company was formed when Chrysler merged with the French manufacturer PCA Group and currently makes Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, and Jeep vehicles in North America. Unfortunately, Stellantis production occurs in countries where the Trump administration has threatened harsh tariffs, namely Canada, Mexico, and the European Union.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="317" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165330/STE-1-1024x317.png" alt="" class="wp-image-783943" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165330/STE-1-1024x317.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165330/STE-1-300x93.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165330/STE-1-768x238.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165330/STE-1.png 1244w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Stellantis currently has two manufacturing plants in Canada, located in Toronto and Windsor. The Toronto plant produces engine and transmission parts and aluminum die castings, while the Windsor plant manufactures Chrysler Pacifica and Dodge Charger vehicles (yes, the Charger is made in Canada, not the United States). STLA shares have plummeted since making an early 2024 high, and the stock is trading firmly below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages. And to pile on the bearish sentiment, Barclays and RBC Capital both downgraded the stock to Neutral last October.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Advance Auto Parts Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAP#NYSE">AAP</a>)</h2>
The auto industry is in crisis mode following the tariff announcements, but most of the focus has been on car manufacturers like Stellantis, Ford, and General Motors. However, the after-market car part business is another central industry area, and many DIY car projects will become more expensive if 25% tariffs on Canada take effect.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="317" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165351/AAP-1024x317.png" alt="" class="wp-image-783944" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165351/AAP-1024x317.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165351/AAP-300x93.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165351/AAP-768x238.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165351/AAP.png 1244w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The three major DIY auto parts stores in the United States are AutoZone, O'Reilly Automotive, and Advance Auto Parts. Right now, AAP looks to be in the worst shape. The company saw its revenue growth decline by 3% over the last 12 months, while AZO and ORLY each increased revenue year over year. AAP also has the slowest inventory turnover, the smallest free cash flow pile, and the highest price-to-earnings ratio of the three primary auto parts dealers. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and 50-day and 200-day moving averages also continue sending bearish signals, so avoid AAP shares until the tariff threat fades.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">D.R. Horton Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHI#NYSE">DHI</a>)</h2>
D.R. Horton is the biggest homebuilder in the United States, and the firm has been sounding some alarms about housing costs in the face of tariffs and declining workforce participation. Lumber imports from Canada are key to homebuilders like DHI, and house buyers are already stretched thin by high prices and 7% mortgage rates. It is unlikely homebuilders have much more room to pass costs onto consumers, which could further exacerbate a tepid US housing market.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="319" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165357/DR-1024x319.png" alt="" class="wp-image-783945" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165357/DR-1024x319.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165357/DR-300x93.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165357/DR-768x239.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165357/DR.png 1252w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
DHI stock has dropped from $156 to $129 in the span of just a few weeks, thanks to pressure on housing inputs like lumber, steel, and aluminum. Analysts are also becoming more bearish on homebuilders as Bank of America <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43246599/bofa-downgrades-dr-horton-and-smith-douglas-citing-cost-pressures-and-weak-roe-outlook">downgraded the stock</a> immediately following inauguration day, citing rising costs and weak return on equity. DHI posted a bad earnings and revenue miss in Q3 2024 but rebounded with a top and bottom line beat in Q4. This earnings boost could provide an exit ramp for investors who aren't optimistic about housing in 2025.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enbridge Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENB#NYSE">ENB</a>)</h2>
Energy is another sector at the forefront of tariff troubles, and Enbridge Inc. is one of the pipeline providers in the crosshairs. Enbridge is a major exporter of crude oil, natural gas, and renewables to the United States through its network of pipelines, distribution systems, and storage facilities. However, if the Trump administration is serious about cutting down on Canadian energy imports, ENB shares could also tumble from their current levels.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="319" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165419/ENB-1024x319.png" alt="" class="wp-image-783946" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165419/ENB-1024x319.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165419/ENB-300x93.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165419/ENB-768x239.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/14165419/ENB.png 1252w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
From a technical perspective, the RSI could hint at ENB stock's next move. Following the early February drawdown, the share price quickly rebounded to mid-January levels, but a divergence emerged as the RSI made a strong pivot downward after nearing 70, which is the traditional signal for an overbought stock. With technical and fundamental headwinds in play, ENB shares could struggle to maintain their momentum in 2025.

Earnings Scheduled For February 14, 2025

President Donald Trump's announced tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China could impact many sectors and see retailers and companies raising prices on consumers to offset<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43423288/trumps-tariffs-are-here-heres-what-will-get-more-expensive-from-canada-china-and-mexico"> the higher prices.</a>
Here's a look at the sectors and stocks that could be hurt the most by Trump's tariffs and retaliatory efforts by the three countries back on the U.S.
What Happened: Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43427091/as-trump-imposes-tariffs-on-americas-3-largest-trading-partners-this-macro-strategist-call">announced 25% tariffs </a>on imports from Canada and Mexico along with a 10% tariffs on items imported from China. Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced Monday the U.S. tariffs on Mexico have been paused for one month. 
Canada fought back with retaliatory measures on U.S. imports.
Trump said he spoke with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and plans to speak to the leader again at 3 p.m. ET Monday.
The tariffs were met with anger in Canada where sports fans booed the playing of &#8220;The Star-Spangled Banner,&#8221; the U.S. national anthem, at NBA and NHL sporting events over the weekend, as reported by <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/02/u-s-national-anthem-booed-nhl-nba-games-canada-tariffs-1236276207/">Deadline</a>.
NBA and NHL games involving teams from both countries typically play national anthems ahead of games.
Goods and Sectors Impacted: Here's a look at the top imports from Canada, Mexico and China that will be impacted if the tariffs stick.
Beer and Spirits: One of the companies that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42220682/trump-tariffs-on-mexico-could-affect-beer-why-your-modelo-corona-could-cost-more-next-year">could be hit hardest</a> by the tariff news is Constellation Brands Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>), an alcohol company that holds the exclusive U.S. license for several of the top imported beer brands in America. Constellation imports brands like Modelo, Corona and Pacifico from Mexico, where they are brewed by Grupo Modelo, which is a unit of Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUD#NYSE">BUD</a>).
Modelo is the top imported beer in the U.S., with Corona ranking second. Heineken and Dos Equis XX, which are imported by Heineken USA, a unit of Heineken NV (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HEINY#OTC">HEINY</a>), ranked third and fourth on the list of top imported beers. Dos Equis is manufactured in Mexico and imported to the U.S.
Constellation stock is down around 40% since it was flagged as a company to see pressure from tariffs back in November.
The U.S. is also a large importer of tequila, a sector that could be hit hard by tariffs on Mexico.

Automotive: Several automotive companies like Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Honda Motor Co Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42688941/are-us-vehicles-under-30000-a-thing-of-the-past-trumps-mexico-tariff-plans-could-change-auto-market">have sub-$30,000 vehicles</a> that are partially or fully built in Mexico and Canada. Tariffs on these countries could quickly make these sub-$30,000 vehicles cost more for consumers and eliminate options in the popular starting price point.
Avocados: American imports over 80% of its avocados from Mexico, which could lead to higher prices ahead of Super Bowl Sunday on Feb. 9, as <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/02/02/us-news/whats-going-to-get-hit-by-trumps-tariffs-avocados-modelo-and-iphones/">reported </a>by the New York Post. Stocks that could be impacted by higher avocado costs are Mission Produce Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVO#NASDAQ">AVO</a>), Calavo Growers, Inc. (NASDDAQ: CVGW) and Limoneira Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMNR#NASDAQ">LMNR</a>).
Fruits and Vegetables: Canada is the largest supplier of cherry tomatoes for the U.S., which could see higher produce costs for consumers and restaurants.
Smartphones: China is one of the largest exporters of smartphones to the U.S., accounting for an estimated 87% of production according to the report. The iPhone from Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has 95% of production assembled in China as of 2023.
Toys: The Toy Association industry group estimates that 75% of all imported toys come from China, making the sector one area that could be significantly hit by higher tariffs. Hasbro Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAS#NASDAQ">HAS</a>) and Mattel Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NASDAQ">MAT</a>) are two stocks that could see pressure with the tariffs impacting one of their key sectors. &nbsp;
Clothing: Imported clothes from e-commerce companies including Shein and PDD Holdings &#8211; ADR (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) brand Temu will see higher prices with the tariff on China. Canadian clothing companies Aritzia and Lululemon Athletica (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LULU#NASDAQ">LULU</a>) will also be impacted by the tariff news. 
The footwear portion of the clothing sector could see the biggest impact with the Footwear Distributors &amp; Retailers of America estimating that 99% of shoes sold in the U.S. are imported. Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) could be among the companies hit hardest by the tariff news.
Construction: The American Iron and Steel Institute estimates that 25% of American steel comes from Canada and 12% comes from Mexico, which means steel prices could go up. Canadian lumber is also a large export to the U.S., which makes up around 30% of all lumber the country uses. Other construction items like drywall, lime and gypsum come from Mexico, which will put more pressure on homebuilders. The tariffs could lead to home prices going up and putting further pressure on the sector.
Oil: The U.S. is a large importer<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42300450/trump-told-trudeau-canada-could-avoid-tariffs-by-becoming-51st-state-a-look-at-sectors-trade-war-could-impact"> of Canadian oil.</a> While oil will only see a 10% tariff compared to the 25% on other Canadian goods, the sector could likely see a large impact. Companies like Suncor Energy Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SU#NYSE">SU</a>), Enbridge (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENB#NYSE">ENB</a>), Canadian Natural Resources (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNQ#NYSE">CNQ</a>) and TC Pipelines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRP#NYSE">TRP</a>)&nbsp;could face significant impacts from the tariffs and a potential blow to the sector.
Transportation: Railway company Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CP#NYSE">CP</a>) and trucking companies Old Dominion Freight Line (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ODFL#NASDAQ">ODFL</a>) and Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KNX#NYSE">KNX</a>) could be impacted by the tariffs and negative impact on trade between the United States and Canada.
Retailers: Dollar stores and discount retailers like Dollar Tree (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>) could be<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42402629/trump-to-change-dollar-stores-for-good-dollar-tree-exec-says-prepared-to-act"> impacted by the tariffs.</a> Executives warned of the potential impact in late 2024 with the goal of offsetting the higher prices with new product sizes and negotiating lower costs with suppliers. The company also said it would consider stopping the sale of several items due to the planned tariffs.
Price Actions on Monday at publication: The iShares MSCI Canada Index Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWC#NYSE">EWC</a>) is down 1.46% to $40.62.

Why Beer, Tequila, Avocados, Cars, iPhone Prices Could Rise: Trump's Tariffs On Canada, Mexico, China To Hurt Several Sectors

The past month has been a rollercoaster ride for investors, with markets taking a beating across the board. From December 15 to January 15, the S&amp;P 500 dropped 4.33%, the Nasdaq fell 4.71%, and small-cap stocks got hammered, tumbling around 8%. The bond market wasn&#8217;t spared either, with long-term Treasury bonds diving 7.67%. Even the typically resilient triple-B corporate bonds fell 3.4%, though high-yield bonds held up better, declining just 1.5% to 1.8%.
It&#8217;s been a challenging period for traditional stock-and-bond investors. Yet the Easy Income Portfolio proved its mettle. While broader markets stumbled, the portfolio declined only 2.5%, supported by its robust 9.38% dividend yield. This yield towers over Treasuries, junk bonds, and the S&amp;P 500. The key? A diversified mix of high-quality, income-generating investments spread across sectors that zig when others zag.
Sector Highlights:
<ol start="1">
<li>Mortgage REITs (REM): These took a significant hit, down 8.65%, reflecting broader challenges in real estate debt markets. </li>
<li>Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund (Ticker: JRI): Declined notably, despite its diversified exposure to real assets like infrastructure, real estate, and energy. The fund&#8217;s holdings in premier companies such as Simon Property Group, Realty Income, and Energy Transfer illustrate its high-quality asset base. </li>
<li>Aberdeen Asia-Pacific Income Fund: Down 6%, this closed-end fund offers exposure to high-grade sovereign and corporate debt in the Asia-Pacific region, acting as both a dollar hedge and an income-generating asset. </li>
<li>Business Development Companies (BDCs): BDCs like Ares Capital, Blackstone Secured Lending, and FS KKR Capital remain core holdings. These entities leverage their deep private equity relationships to maintain credit quality and deliver strong dividends. </li>
<li>Energy Infrastructure: Investments like Dorchester Minerals and Tortoise Energy Infrastructure have performed well, capturing benefits from increased energy demand and the reorganization of global energy markets. </li>
<li>Closed-End Fund and SPAC Arbitrage: Exposure to these strategies helps add diversification and reduce overall volatility.</li>
</ol>
Mortgage REITs: A Tough Month Mortgage REITs (REM) bore the brunt of market turbulence, dropping 8.65%. That&#8217;s not a fun number to see, but it&#8217;s par for the course in a volatile interest rate environment. These REITs, which invest in residential and commercial mortgage securities, remain a core piece of the portfolio, offering high yields to counterbalance periods of price volatility.
Real Asset Income: A Hidden Opportunity The Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund (JRI) also faced pressure, declining around 8%. This fund gives you a one-stop shop for exposure to real assets, including infrastructure, real estate, and energy. Think Simon Property Group, Realty Income, Energy Transfer, and Enbridge—some of the best operators in their respective fields.
Simon Property Group Simon Property Group (Ticker: SPG) is the premier operator of Class A malls in the United States, owning high-end shopping centers in affluent, densely populated areas. Unlike struggling Class B and C malls, Simon&#8217;s properties thrive as destinations for luxury shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Simon maintains high occupancy rates, typically in the mid-90% range, driven by the desirability of its properties. Its tenant base spans luxury brands and experiential anchors, reinforcing its status as the leader in mall-based real estate.
Realty Income Known as &#8220;The Monthly Dividend Company,&#8221; Realty Income owns over 13,000 properties across the U.S. and Europe. These properties are leased to high-quality tenants under long-term triple-net leases, where tenants cover taxes, insurance, and maintenance.
Key tenants and sectors include:
<ul>
<li>Convenience Stores: 7-Eleven </li>
<li>Pharmacies: (Ticker: CVS) Walgreens </li>
<li>Big Box Retailers: Home Depot (Ticker: HD) Walmart (Ticker: WMT) </li>
<li>Entertainment and Dining: AMC Theatres (Ticker: AMC) Chick-fil-A</li>
</ul>
Enbridge (Ticker: ENB) is one of North America&#8217;s largest energy infrastructure companies. Its extensive asset base includes over 83,000 miles of crude oil, natural gas, and liquids pipelines that span Canada and the U.S. Enbridge also operates natural gas utility businesses, serving millions of customers in Ontario and Quebec, and is a leader in renewable energy investments, with wind and solar farms contributing to its diversified energy portfolio.
Energy Transfer Energy Transfer owns a vast network of energy infrastructure assets, including 120,000 miles of pipelines for natural gas, crude oil, natural gas liquids, and refined products. The company operates major storage facilities, processing plants, and export terminals, including the Marcus Hook Industrial Complex, a key hub for exporting natural gas liquids to global markets.
One of Energy Transfer&#8217;s standout assets is its LNG export capability, which positions the company to benefit from growing global demand for U.S. liquefied natural gas. Its pipelines and storage facilities are critical links in the supply chain, ensuring the movement of energy products from production basins like the Permian and Marcellus to end users.
These infrastructure giants, Enbridge and Energy Transfer, play essential roles in the energy economy, transporting and storing the resources that power homes, businesses, and industries. Their scale, diversified revenue streams, and regulated nature make them resilient income generators, which is exactly what we seek in the Easy Income Portfolio.
Asia-Pacific Debt: A Dollar Hedge Aberdeen Asia-Pacific Income Fund also had a rough month, down 6%. This closed-end fund invests in high-grade sovereign and corporate debt from countries like Australia, India, and Indonesia. With 13% dividend yields and limited default risk, it&#8217;s a great income producer and a natural hedge against a weakening U.S. dollar.
Business Development Companies: A Core Strength The portfolio&#8217;s BDC holdings, including Ares Capital, Blackstone Secured Lending, and FS KKR, continue to shine. These firms lend to small and mid-sized businesses, a segment set to thrive under pro-business policies. Their private equity relationships provide a massive competitive edge, ensuring they know the borrowers inside and out. Add in an 11% yield, and these BDCs are delivering exactly what we want—steady income with a margin of safety.
The Easy Income Philosophy The Easy Income Portfolio isn&#8217;t about chasing short-term gains or checking prices daily. It&#8217;s about creating a low-volatility, high-income portfolio that practically runs itself. With positions across 15 sectors, from infrastructure and energy to private credit and real estate, the portfolio delivers reliable cash flow through monthly dividends.
This month showed why diversification and a focus on income are essential. Even as markets faltered, the Easy Income Portfolio kept humming along, providing a steady income stream while staying positioned for long-term success.

This Affirm Holdings Analyst Begins Coverage On A Bullish Note; Here Are Top 5 Initiations For Wednesday

President-elect Donald Trump has made tariffs one of the most talked about items ahead of his inauguration on Jan. 20. So far, he has not backed down from plans to place or increase tariffs on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">various trade partners</a>, including Canada, Mexico and China.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Trump took things a step further by naming a new agency tasked with overseeing tariffs.
"For far too long, we have relied on taxing our Great People using the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Though soft and pathetically weak Trade agreements, the American Economy has delivered growth and prosperity to the World, while taxing ourselves," Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113827650534234057">said </a>in a post on Truth Social. "I am today announcing that I will create the EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE to collect our Tariffs, Duties and all Revenue that come from Foreign sources."
Trump intends for Jan. 20 — inauguration day — to be the birthdate for the so-called &#8220;External Revenue Service.&#8221; Normally, a new law would need to be passed first to create a new bureau or statutory body.
"We will begin charging those that make money off of us with Trade, and they will start paying, FINALLY, their fair share,&#8221; Trump added. 
It&#8217;s worth noting that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), under the Department of Homeland Security, already oversees tariffs and revenue from foreign countries. Its key functions include collecting customs duties and tariffs. The CBP also enforces trade laws and ensures revenue accountability as one of the federal government's largest revenue collectors.
Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers are already scrutinizing Trump&#8217;s External Revenue Service plan. "No amount of silly rebranding will hide the fact that Trump is planning a multi-trillion-dollar tax hike on American families and small businesses to pay for another round of tax handouts to the rich," Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, <a href="https://www.finance.senate.gov/chairmans-news/wyden-statement-on-trumps-so-called-external-revenue-service">said</a> in a statement.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Trump's plans to place tariffs on three of the country's largest trade partners have led to many question marks on how the other countries will respond and if items will get more expensive for American consumers as a trade off.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/12/42536470/costco-warns-that-tariffs-raise-prices-trump-team-says-trade-policies-will-make-life-affordable">Retail executives</a> Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) and Dollar Tree (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>) have already warned about tariffs on earnings calls. Tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42402629/trump-to-change-dollar-stores-for-good-dollar-tree-exec-says-prepared-to-act">could mean higher prices</a> for consumers, less product assortment or a change to product sizes, they say.
Trump joked that Canada <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42300450/trump-told-trudeau-canada-could-avoid-tariffs-by-becoming-51st-state-a-look-at-sectors-trade-war-could-impact">could become the</a> 51st state of America to avoid tariffs. While the country <a href="https://apnews.com/article/canada-trump-chretien-51st-state-ad9749047d0b627eed56be22f43ea7cd">isn't ready</a> to do that, a new report signals the country could be working on avoiding the tariffs.
Canadian ambassador Kirsten Hillman said Canada is prepared to buy more items from the U.S., as <a href="https://apnews.com/article/canada-ambassador-us-trump-hillman-9ced5ba12cd6526a2bbb4a810fa9af18">reported </a>by the Associated Press. The move would ensure that there is not a deficit for America in its trade with Canada.
Hillman warned that a plan to put tariffs on all Canadian products will lead to prices going up for Americans.
"And at a time when the cost of living is challenging, when food prices are high, it seems like the wrong direction to go in," Hillman said.
Top items exported from Canada to the U.S. include oil, gas and automotive parts. These industries could see higher-priced goods under Trump's tariff plan.
Large Canadian oil companies Suncor Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SU#NYSE">SU</a>), Enbridge (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENB#NYSE">ENB</a>), Canadian Natural Resources (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNQ#NYSE">CNQ</a>) and TC Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRP#NYSE">TRP</a>) could face significant impacts from the tariffs and a potential blow to the sector.
Railway company Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CP#NYSE">CP</a>) and trucking companies Old Dominion Freight Line (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ODFL#NASDAQ">ODFL</a>) and Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KNX#NYSE">KNX</a>) could also be impacted by the tariffs and the negative impact on trade between the United States and Canada.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has recently shown a serious focus on migration and security, two of Trump's vocal demands to keep the U.S. from placing tariffs on the country, as reported by Reuters.
Sheinbaum has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/25/01/42895985/trump-and-mexican-president-sheinbaum-spirited-clash-over-territorial-renaming-tariffs-and-cartels">publicly sparred with Trump</a>, but it remains to be seen if she will be able to avoid tariffs for Mexico.
Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), General Motors Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Honda Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) are among the automotive companies that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42688941/are-us-vehicles-under-30000-a-thing-of-the-past-trumps-mexico-tariff-plans-could-change-auto-market">have sub-$30,000 vehicles </a>that are partially or fully built in Mexico and Canada.
Higher tariffs on China could rattle the American economy as the country remains a major source of many exported goods. To get ahead of potential tariff increases, China saw its exports up 10.7% in the month of December, NPR <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/01/13/nx-s1-5258024/china-exports-us-tariffs">reported</a>.
The growth was higher than estimates of 7% and could show that companies and China are taking proactive approaches to get ahead of higher-costing goods.
ETF Price Action: The iShares MSCI Canada ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWC#NYSE">EWC</a>) is up 0.3% to $39.94 on Tuesday. The ETF is up 11% over the last year and down 4.5% over the last month.
The iShares MSCI Mexico ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWW#NYSE">EWW</a>) is up 1.5% to $48.15 on Tuesday. The ETF is down 25.3% over the last year and down 6.4% over the last month.
