Intro
ORCL rally, soft PPI, and Fed cut hopes shape quiet but mixed day
Dow: -220.42 (**-0.48%**) → 45,490
S&P 500: +19.44 (**+0.30%**) → 6,532
Nasdaq: +6.57 (**+0.03%**) → 21,886
Russell 2000: -3.80 (**-0.16%**) → 2,378
Stocks opened strong after Oracle’s blowout earnings and a surprise drop in wholesale inflation fueled hopes of Fed easing, but momentum faded into the close. Core PPI fell -0.1% m/m, missing expectations for +0.3%, marking only the second monthly decline since March 2024. That pulled December 2025 implied rates down to 3.631%, while 2026 fell to 2.847%, as futures priced in deeper cuts. The tech-heavy Nasdaq managed a gain thanks to ORCL’s surge, but the Dow slid as value names lost steam. Utilities (**+1.73%**), Tech (**+1.50%**), and Energy (**+1.50%**) outperformed, while Health Care (**-1.00%**) and Staples (**-0.81%**) dragged. Barclays hiked its S&P 500 target to 6,450, citing earnings momentum. Fear & Greed Index stuck at Neutral (**54**). All eyes now on tomorrow’s CPI.

Max’s Comments
Every Friday I share my personal buys, portfolio moves, and the thought process behind them. These updates aren’t about chasing quick wins or timing the market—they’re about building something far more powerful: a portfolio that pays you for life.
The MaxDividends strategy is simple, proven, and brutally effective. By sticking to the rules—consistent investing, strict stock selection, and a focus on dividend growth—we’re creating a rising stream of income that compounds month after month. That’s the kind of income that doesn’t care if the market’s up, down, or sideways.
And here’s the kicker: while the income grows, so does the value of the portfolio itself. One day you wake up and realize your capital has far outpaced your original investment—and from that point on, it almost never drops back. That shift only happens once, but the peace of mind lasts forever.
If you’re not on this path yet, every week you sit out is a week of missed dividend deposits you’ll never get back. That’s why these Friday updates matter—because they’re real proof that the system works.
The power of compounding is gaining momentum. My dividend snowball keeps growing.
Want to Do the Same?
At MaxDividends, we focus on a dividend growth strategy. It’s a great fit for investors who want capital appreciation, a decent level of safety, and growing income.
Dividend strategy has been proven to beat the broader market over time, provided the stocks selected can withstand threats from competition and economic recessions.
The only one who cares about your wealth is you. This is your money, your future, and your life. Your passive income is a result of your efforts, and it’s a reflection of your success.
MaxDividends Community
MaxDividends Mission: Helping people build growing passive income, retire early, and live off dividends.
We follow our time-tested strategy for tapping into overlooked dividend plays that can make your portfolio more resistant to recessions and other market panics and pack on consistent gains for years to come.
With MaxDividends Community you’ll always be part of a winning team and stop viewing the future as an uncertainty. Worry will fade, replaced by confidence and peace of mind. You’ll focus on doing what you love while your passive income continues to grow.
Choosing a strong environment is the key to achieving outstanding results. If you surround yourself with people who dream bigger than you, you increase your chances of reaching greater heights. Surround yourself only with those who will support you on your path to success.

And many others
“You are serious and trustwhorty”
“Developing an additional source of retirement income.”
Thought I would share - I was able to create an Ultra High Dividend portfolio w/15 companies today that would net me a $4,200+/month income. I just retired this month and have a current income of $10,230/mo., will be $12,500/mo. in '27 so another $4200/mo. would be nice! Love the app, had a lot of fun creating a portfolio today!
Thanks for all the hard work putting the MaxDividends! You guys have done all the heavy lifting.
