Max’s Comments

This week, just like clockwork, I’ll be adding to a few of my top dividend positions. Lately, I’ve been leaning more into names with fast-growing dividends—but my goal hasn’t changed one bit. I’m only buying companies with a rock-solid MaxRatio and strong long-term potential to keep sending me reliable, growing dividends every quarter.

There are a few names I’ve got my eye on right now. Some I’ve held for years, some I’ve been waiting to add to until the timing felt right. Well… this week might be it.

Also—quick update from the app: we just finished refreshing the scores and updating the lists of elite dividend stocks. And let me tell you, there’s some serious strength out there right now if you know where to look.

Here’s one thing that blew my mind: we now track over 50 international companies that haven’t missed a single dividend payment in more than 25 years. Through dot-com crashes, housing bubbles, pandemic chaos—you name it—they just kept paying, and many even kept raising.

That kind of consistency is rare. That’s exactly why we built a special section in the app just for them—International Aristocrats. Quiet global giants with discipline, durability, and real staying power.

I’ll be sending a note soon with the highlights—just for Premium Partners. Can’t wait to share it. These are the stories that keep me fired up about dividend investing.

The power of compounding is gaining momentum. My dividend snowball keeps growing.
