Why I'm celebrating this market crash—and loading up on these high-yield assets. Tariffs, recession fears, and falling interest rates: here's where smart money is going now. These overlooked stocks could soar—even if some tariffs remain in place.

Many dividend investors seek solid passive income from quality dividend stocks.

The stock market has taken a nasty tumble this week. Stocks have sold off because the tariffs levied by the Trump administration were much higher than the market feared.

Most people don't like seeing stock prices go down. It triggers a very natural emotional response associated with pain and loss.

British American Tobacco (BTI -4.63%) has a dividend yield of 7.2%, while Altria's (MO -3.17%) yield is 6.9%. But those high yields come with a notable risk related to the company's long-term financials.

Several analysts and economists have sharply increased their odds for a U.S. recession in the wake of President Donald Trump's aggressive tariffs announced on April 2. Just to name a couple, HSBC analysts see a 40% chance of a recession by the end of 2025, and JPMorgan Chase (JPM -7.56%) now sees a 60% chance of a global recession if the tariffs are left in place.

The stock market has gotten off to a rough start this year, as Wall Street focuses on the possibility of a recession. One way to weather market volatility is to focus on quality dividend stocks, and this is the perfect time to consider adding some to your portfolio.

Several powerful income machines are crashing… but could thrive under Trump's new tariff regime. Markets are panicking—but these dividend stocks may be the real winners in a trade war.
