In 1929, Wall Street was throwing the biggest party in history.
The Dow Jones was setting new records every month. People were literally jumping over each other to invest in any stock they could. Even shoeshine boys were handing out stock tips.
But a young, 20-something stockbroker named Irving Weiss noticed something even veteran brokers didn’t.
Irving noticed that the numbers behind America’s largest companies painted a completely different picture. He saw a massive, systemic crisis forming beneath the surface of the "Roaring Twenties."
So he did something completely unthinkable. He borrowed $500 from his friends and family and shorted the entire stock market.
A few months later, Black Monday hit. The average stock lost 90% of its value. But Irving Weiss made a fortune.
Then in the 1970s, his son Martin took over the reins of the firm. He took the formulas his father used to predict the 1929 crash, and digitized them into a proprietary ratings system.
Today, that system is known as Weiss Ratings. This system performs tracks 22,000 publicly traded stocks and performs 1.2 billion daily calculations.
It’s the exact same system that called the bank failures of the 1980s, the Dot-Com bust, the 2008 financial crisis, and the 2020 crash.
Because just like in 1929, Wall Street is ignoring the $38 trillion national debt. They’re ignoring the oil surge and inflation shock set to be triggered by the conflict in the Middle East.
Protect Your Portfolio with 3 High-Yielding Dividend ETFs
Posted On Apr 27, 2026 by Ian Cooper
If you’re looking for safety—and income— dividend ETFs, showcasing Dividend Aristocrats and Dividend Kings, are a great place to start.
Table of Contents
Dividend Aristocrats are widely considered some of the highest-quality companies in the market. To earn this title, a company must have increased its dividend payouts for at least 25 consecutive years. Dividend Kings take that standard even further. These elite companies have raised their dividends for 50 years or more, proving their resilience across multiple economic cycles.
What makes these companies particularly compelling is their ability to perform in virtually any environment. Whether facing inflation, recessions, rising interest rates, market crashes, or economic booms, they have consistently rewarded shareholders with growing income. That kind of durability is rare—and valuable. It also reflects strong management teams, disciplined capital allocation, and business models built to withstand long-term pressure.
Simply put, if a company can survive decades of economic uncertainty and still pay—and raise—dividends, it deserves attention.
There’s just one drawback: there isn’t currently a dedicated ETF focused solely on Dividend Kings. That means investors looking for exposure must either purchase individual stocks or turn to ETFs that emphasize similar high-quality, dividend-growing companies.
Here are three strong ETF options to consider.
A Pure Play on Dividend Aristocrats
The ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF (BATS: NOBL) offers direct exposure to companies that have increased dividends for at least 25 consecutive years.
With an expense ratio of 0.35% and a yield of approximately 2.05%, NOBL tracks the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index. The fund focuses on stable, high-quality businesses with long track records of dividend growth—many of which have been increasing payouts for 40 years or more.
These companies have demonstrated consistent performance and income reliability, making NOBL a strong choice for conservative, income-focused investors.
