AI is about to split America into two over the next 12 months… On one side, it'll make America's one-percenters richer and more powerful than ever… But on the other side, it's set to trap millions of hardworking Americans in financial quicksand… One ex-hedge fund manager whose team predicted NVIDIA's rise in 2020 calls this the "AI End Game"... And he says there are three critical moves every American should make in the next 12 months to protect and grow their wealth through this paradigm shift… CLICK HERE TO SEE THE DETAILS BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE SAFETY NET A Gold Miner With a High (and Rising?) Yield Marc Lichtenfeld, Chief Income Strategist, The Oxford Club Gold stocks aren't known for their dividends, but there are a handful that have decent yields right now. AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE: AU) currently sports a 3.8% yield based on the last four quarters' dividends and a sparkling 7% yield based on the most recent dividend. Will shareholders continue to shout "Eureka!" each quarter as their dividend check comes in, or is the dividend closer to fool's gold? AngloGold Ashanti has mining projects in 10 countries, including Guinea, Argentina, and the United States. The projects in the U.S. are based in southern Nevada and are expected to produce a combined 600,000 ounces of gold annually. In 2025, AngloGold Ashanti produced more than 3 million ounces of gold and 3.7 million ounces of silver. It has 36.5 million ounces of gold still in the ground on its properties. With gold prices up sharply over the past few years, it's not surprising that the company's free cash flow is booming and is projected to continue to rise. Last year, free cash flow rose to over $3.4 billion from $985 million in 2024. This year, free cash flow is forecast to be $5.2 billion, climbing to $6.7 billion in 2027. The gold miner paid shareholders $1.9 billion in dividends in 2025 for a 55% payout ratio. This year's $2.9 billion in expected dividends would maintain that 55% figure. That's a good level. I like to see companies paying out 75% or less of their free cash flow in dividends. That way, if free cash flow slips, the company may still be able to afford its current dividend. The 75% threshold gives it a buffer zone - some margin for error. However, when it comes to dividend safety, AngloGold Ashanti has a big problem. Its dividend is variable. That means it's going to be different every quarter. SPONSORED Trader Who Recently Livestreamed A 1,129% Win Reveals Powerful New AI... Earlier this year a legendary trader captured a 1,129% win (in just 2 days) ... LIVE in front of thousands of Americans... Now, he's revealing a new AI that is helping him scan for explosive trade setups like this faster than ever. Read More Additionally, the company's dividend policy has changed a few times recently. Prior to 2021, it paid annual dividends, typically around $0.10 per share or lower. From 2021 to 2024, it paid semiannual dividends, ranging from $0.05 per share to $0.69. Last year, it began paying quarterly dividends, which, as you can see, jumped around quite a bit. View larger image   If gold prices stay high and free cash flow remains strong, it's reasonable to expect that the dividend shouldn't fall too far. But those are big ifs. Right now, gold is trading at around $4,600, down from its high of over $5,600 earlier in the year. I'm very bullish on gold, but if prices drop, so will AngloGold Ashanti's free cash flow and dividend. AngloGold Ashanti's dividend is not safe. The company can afford its dividend right now, but variable dividend policies almost always involve fluctuations in the dividend, which means the payout to shareholders is sometimes lower than in the previous quarter or year. Dividend Safety Rating: F By the way... most investors think the biggest gains from gold have already been made. But I'm here to tell you they haven't. Not even close. According to my data, we're just a few days away from what could easily become the biggest bull run in the past 25 years. Not for the price of gold itself… or the big gold producers... But for a small group of specific gold mining stocks. Click here to see details on the gold stocks I believe could lead the charge. BUILD AND PROTECT YOUR WEALTH Major Gold Announcement Imminent.
