Noble Passes Through 8% Yield Mark
In trading on Friday, shares of Noble were yielding above the 8% mark based on its quarterly dividend (annualized to $2), with the stock changing hands as low as $24.60 on the day. Dividends are particularly important for investors to consider, because historically speaking dividends have provided a considerable share of the stock market's total return. To illustrate, suppose for example you purchased shares of the iShares Russell 3000 ETF back on 5/31/2000 — you would have paid $78.27 per share. Fast forward to 5/31/2012 and each share was worth $77.79 on that date, a loss of $0.48 or 0.6% decrease over twelve years. But now consider that you collected a whopping $10.77 per share in dividends over the same period, increasing your return to 13.15%. Even with dividends reinvested, that only amounts to an average annual total return of about 1.0%; so by comparison collecting a yield above 8% would appear considerably attractive if that yield is sustainable. Noble is a member of the Russell 3000, giving it special status as one of the largest 3000 companies on the U.S. stock markets. 10 Stocks Where Yields Got More Juicy » In general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of Noble, looking at the history chart for NE below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 8% annual yield.

Dogecoin Price Prediction - What could affect DOGE's future price?
Dogecoin price prediction remains uncertain as the coin faces mixed signals—bearish technicals are offset by potential ETF approvals and whale accumulation, while supply dynamics and macro factors continue to add volatility. - Supply inflation (10k DOGE/block) could pressure prices but decreases annually - ETF speculation (SEC decisions in 2025) may drive institutional demand. - Whale activity (41.7% supply control) amplifies price swings. - Technical patterns suggest $0.17-$0.23 range battles - Macro risks (trade wars, rates) threaten crypto-wide selloffs Dogecoin's uncapped supply (currently 149B DOGE) adds 5B new coins annually. While critics argue this creates inflationary pressure, developers maintain:- Fixed block rewards (10k DOGE) make inflation decline yearly (currently ~3.4% vs. 4% in 2023)- Merge-mining with Litecoin ensures network security despite low fees - Failed 2021-2025 proposals to cap supply at 250B kept protocol stable but limited scarcity narratives Bullish drivers:- ETF potential: 21Shares and Grayscale filings under SEC review (68% approval odds per Polymarket)- Whale buying: 3.4B DOGE accumulated since Jan 2025 by top wallets- Patterns: Inverse H&S targeting $0.57 if $0.23 breaks Bearish signals:- MACD divergence: -0.004 histogram signals weakening momentum- Key support: $0.169 (2025 low) aligns with 50-day SMA ($0.194) – breach risks drop to $0.14- Exchange inflows: 7-day net deposits suggest profit-taking Dogecoin's path hinges on whether ETF optimism and whale support override inflation concerns and shaky technicals. Watch the $0.23 resistance and SEC ETF commentary closely. Will macro headwinds derail DOGE's meme-powered resilience, or can ETF approvals spark a supply shock? Dogecoin price prediction reflects mixed sentiment: short-term bearish (-8.7% in 24h) amid market-wide selloffs and Elon Musk's exit from a DOGE initiative, but mid-term bullish (24% gain in 60d) driven by ETF speculation and supportive technical patterns. - ETF optimism: 68–71% approval odds for a DOGE spot ETF in 2025. - Technical momentum: Falling wedge and inverse head-and-shoulders patterns signal potential $0.30–$1 targets. - Macro risks: US-China trade tensions and rising bond yields triggered altcoin selloffs (-6.7% DOGE in 24h). Traders are cautious short-term due to DOGE's correlation with Bitcoin's dip to $104k and $490M liquidations. However, 30-day gains (+17.8%) and rising ETF approval odds reflect lingering optimism. Retail investors on Reddit express skepticism about DOGE's utility, while X (Twitter) memes highlight its 'unstoppable community.' ETF narrative: 21Shares' DOGE ETF filing (acknowledged by SEC on May 14) and Grayscale's similar push dominate discussions. Analysts note parallels to Bitcoin's pre-ETF rally. Whale activity: 3.4B DOGE accumulated since January 2025, with 41.7% supply held by whales (IntoTheBlock). Musk's influence: His exit from a DOGE-linked project sparked FUD, but traders downplay it, citing his past transient crypto involvement. X/Twitter: Focused on technical setups (e.g., 'Diamond Bottom' reversal) and ETF speculation. Telegram/Discord: Highlight DOGE's low transaction fees and upcoming G-Token launch in Thailand as adoption catalysts. Reddit: Skeptical threads question DOGE's lack of protocol upgrades compared to SOL or ADA. DOGE's price hinges on ETF progress and Bitcoin's stability, with technicals suggesting explosive potential if $0.23 resistance breaks. However, macro risks and meme coin volatility warrant caution.

How To Avoid The Worst Style ETFs In Q2 Of 2025
Tile letter on red rack in word ETF (abbreviation of Exchange Traded Fund) on wood background Question: Why are there so many ETFs? Answer: ETF issuance is profitable, so Wall Street keeps cranking out more products to sell. The large number of ETFs has little to do with serving your best interests as an investor. I leverage this data to identify three red flags you can use to avoid the worst ETFs: This issue is the easiest to avoid, and my advice is simple. Avoid all ETFs with less than $100 million in assets. Low levels of liquidity can lead to a discrepancy between the price of the ETF and the underlying value of the securities it holds. Small ETFs also generally have lower trading volume, which translates to higher trading costs via larger bid-ask spreads. ETFs should be cheap, but not all of them are. The first step is to benchmark what cheap means. To ensure you are paying at or below average fees, invest only in ETFs with total annual costs below 0.48%, – the average total annual cost of the 897 U.S. equity Style ETFs my firm covers. The weighted average is lower at 0.13%, which highlights how investors tend to put their money in ETFs with low fees. Figure 1 shows Infrastructure Capital Equity Income ETF (ICAP) is the most expensive style ETF and State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF (SPLG) is the least expensive. WBI provides three of the most expensive ETFs while State Street ETFs are among the cheapest. Figure 1: 5 Most and Least Expensive Style ETFs Most Expensive Style ETFs in 2Q25 Investors need not pay high fees for quality holdings. iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) is the best ranked style ETF in Figure 1. IVV's neutral Portfolio Management rating and 0.03% total annual cost earns it an attractive rating. Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETF (QVAL) is one of the best ranked style ETFs overall. QVAL's attractive Portfolio Management rating and 0.32% total annual cost earns it a very attractive rating. On the other hand, Vanguard Small Cap Index Fund (VB) holds poor stocks and earns an Unattractive rating, despite having low total annual costs of 0.06%. No matter how cheap an ETF looks, if it holds bad stocks, its performance will be bad. The quality of an ETF's holdings matters more than its management fee. Avoiding poor holdings is by far the hardest part of avoiding bad ETFs, but it is also the most important because an ETFs performance is determined more by its holdings than its costs. Figure 2 shows the ETFs within each style with the worst portfolio management ratings, a function of the fund's holdings. Figure 2: Style ETFs with the Worst Holdings Worst Style ETFs in 2Q25 Invesco appears more often than any other providers in Figure 2, which means that they offer the most ETFs with the worst holdings. Invesco NASDAQ Future Gen 200 ETF (QQQS) is the worst rated ETF in Figure 2 based on my predictive overall rating. Motley Fool Small Cap Growth ETF (TMFS), Renaissance IPO ETF (IPO), and Invesco S&P Small Cap 600 Pure Value ETF (RZV) also earn a very unattractive predictive overall rating, which means not only do they hold poor stocks, they charge high total annual costs. Buying an ETF without analyzing its holdings is like buying a stock without analyzing its business model and finances. Put another way, research on ETF holdings is necessary due diligence because an ETF's performance is only as good as its holdings. PERFORMANCE OF ETFs HOLDINGs – FEES = PERFORMANCE OF ETF

Should Invesco Dividend Achievers ETF (PFM) Be on Your Investing Radar?
The Invesco Dividend Achievers ETF (PFM) was launched on 09/15/2005, and is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market. The fund is sponsored by Invesco. It has amassed assets over $680.20 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market. Companies that fall in the large cap category tend to have a market capitalization above $10 billion. Overall, they are usually a stable option, with less risk and more sure-fire cash flows than mid and small cap companies. Value stocks have lower than average price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios. They also have lower than average sales and earnings growth rates. When you look at long-term performance, value stocks have outperformed growth stocks in nearly all markets. But in strong bull markets, growth stocks are more likely to be winners. Cost is an important factor in selecting the right ETF, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive counterparts if all other fundamentals are the same. Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.52%, putting it on par with most peer products in the space. It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.56%. Even though ETFs offer diversified exposure that minimizes single stock risk, investors should also look at the actual holdings inside the fund. Luckily, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis. This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Information Technology sector--about 23.10% of the portfolio. Financials and Healthcare round out the top three. Looking at individual holdings, Microsoft Corp (MSFT) accounts for about 4.60% of total assets, followed by Broadcom Inc (AVGO) and Apple Inc (AAPL). The top 10 holdings account for about 30.61% of total assets under management. PFM seeks to match the performance of the NASDAQ US Broad Dividend Achievers Index before fees and expenses. The NASDAQ US Broad Dividend Achievers Index is designed to identify a diversified group of dividend-paying companies which have increased their annual dividend for 10 or more consecutive fiscal years. The ETF has added about 1.70% so far this year and it's up approximately 13.15% in the last one year (as of 05/30/2025). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $41.05 and $48.20. The ETF has a beta of 0.81 and standard deviation of 14.23% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 434 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk. Invesco Dividend Achievers ETF carries a Zacks ETF Rank of 3 (Hold), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Thus, PFM is a good option for those seeking exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Value area of the market. Investors might also want to consider some other ETF options in the space. The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) and the Vanguard Value ETF (VTV) track a similar index. While Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF has $67.93 billion in assets, Vanguard Value ETF has $133.01 billion. SCHD has an expense ratio of 0.06% and VTV charges 0.04%. An increasingly popular option among retail and institutional investors, passively managed ETFs offer low costs, transparency, flexibility, and tax efficiency; they are also excellent vehicles for long term investors.
