Investing in dividend exchange-traded funds (ETFs) can be a simple way to earn passive income on a relatively risk-adjusted basis. During recessions, blue chip dividend stocks with strong fundamentals tend to fare well compared to growth investments.
Another relatively safe investment is U.S. treasury yields which will most likely continue to rise throughout the end of the year as the Fed has two meetings left. The Fed could hike interest rates in its November and December meetings as it has not seen inflation drop at a steady pace.
