Investors know adding high-yield dividend stocks to their portfolio is a great way to keep cash rolling in when the markets are volatile.
The problem is that the COVID-19 pandemic has hammered so many industries that finding companies with sustained dividends is difficult.

But there is one sector of the economy that should hold up even if we see further economic damage. In fact, these companies are likely to see an increase in business if we see financial stress reappear anytime soon.

Thursday is the new payday opportunity (here’s how)
Dear Reader,
I don't work on Fridays.
I don't want to, and I don't need to.
If you were to tell my 22-year-old self that this was my future – I wouldn't have believed you for a second. Not when I was working 80 hours a week to scrape in a measly $275 paycheck…
And certainly not when I was down and out living in Thailand with no idea of what to do next.
But now, thanks to one easy, consistent strategy, I not only have Fridays off…
I barely work during the rest of the week either.
And I still have enough extra income to live the life I've always dreamed of.
It's all thanks to this discovery that ANYONE can use.
It just takes 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week…
And can hand you thousands of dollars each and every Thursday.
Now, there's something that makes this strategy stand out…
That's timing.
And in this demonstration, I'm showing you how this discovery lets me see the market's biggest moves…
I'm talking millions of dollars changing hands all at the same time… on the same stock… the moment it happens.
I'll show you how I use that intel to hand my readers incredible profit opportunities…
And you'll hear how their lives have completely transformed thanks to this method.
Everything you need to know is right here.
Sincerely,
Andrew Keene
