Dear Reader,

When you look at these five stock charts, a couple of things jump out at you:

First of all…while the ASX 200 delivered pretty much NOTHING over the last year…these companies produced gains ranging from 20% to 46%.

This is not to be scoffed at. We’re in a bear market…which is a sustained period of falling and then flat stock prices.

12-month returns like that in such a climate are like gold dust.

It’s worth pointing out that these weren’t small-cap growth stocks, either.

The five companies above are sturdy blue chips — with billion-dollar market caps and share prices ranging from $11 to $94.

However…each managed to beat the wider market by a substantial margin over the last 12 months.

But that’s not the main drawcard here…

Look at those ‘PAID’ arrows on the charts.

Each of these shares have been paying out regular dividends …while you sit in them.

This is a take on income stocks that we call ROYAL DIVIDENDS.

Most mainstream journos and analysts are not tackling income from this angle.

But we reckon this class of stock could become as popular in 2024 as AI stocks have been in 2023.
