Dynamic duo dividend funds are offering a refuge from the volatility of the stock market.
Investors worried about the stock market’s volatility may be comforted by the chance to invest in bonds through a dynamic duo of dividend-paying funds. The dynamic duo moniker may conjure up thoughts of the “caped crusaders” popularized in the iconic Batman television series in the late 1960s, South Korean hip hop rappersChoiza and Gaeko of modern times or, for music-loving investment guru Jim Woods, two income-paying bond funds he strongly recommends as an alternative to the up-and-down stock market.
Despite stocks roaring back off their lows prior to falling April 20 and 21, they remain at risk for a further drop, said Jim Woods, who leads the Successful Investing and Bullseye Stock Trader advisory services. The peril is heightened during the current bear market after its recent plunge of more than 30%, he added.
