Three Defensive Tech Plays That Could Provide a "Second Income" While Volatility Continues By Michael A. Robinson Dear Reader, Editor's Note: It used to be that consumer staples was the defensive sector that paid handsome dividends to investors. They still can, but the narrative's all but changed. Today's article - which you will have seen yesterday, but I need to stress its importance today - will bring you to the forefront of this paradigm shift. Due to the amount of cash reserves that some of the top tech companies have today, I consider them as the safe bets in today's volatile markets. And there are three, in particular, I want you to watch for. The Federal Reserve's recent decision to push interest all the way to zero has millions of investors scrambling. Clearly, now is not a good time to be buying bonds for retirement income. Their rates also have plummeted. And the chances that bond prices will fall when the economy recovers have shot up overnight, greatly increasing the risk of losses if you have to sell. That leaves many investors looking for good dividend yields at a time when the economy is weakening. Fortunately for tech investors, the sector has quietly come to dominate corporate balance sheets in terms of cash on hand. That means two things. Firstly, tech is a great place to find yields. Secondly, these cash-rich firms are least likely to cut their dividends in a recession. Indeed, nine tech companies in the S&P 500 alone hold more than $350 billion in net cash. With that in mind, today I'm going to reveal three tech leaders that currently offer the safest dividend plays... Cheers and good investing, Michael A. Robinson   Please do not reply to this email.
