Comment on What can I do with US$10K that is a good investment?

  Ive thought about doing that with my IRA, had the market negatively impacted your yields at all?

    When it is easy bull markets, I go heavy on growth stocks. When the market is bear, I go heavy on dividends. Right now though there is a high beta turmoil, so I have a mix of both. My IRA is also set up as more od a “leave this alone” investment. My etrade account has my “fuck around and find out” money. I mention this because it is hard to directly compare the two. So far my dividends have strongly out performed the growth stocks, but only in the last 3 months or so has the gap widened. I credit it to 2 specific ones that are getting me 30%-ish yields with stable prices. They are also new etf’s, so the hedge money is still strong before the stripping gets to its prices. I mentioned in a post lower that that my little under 30k is netting me 800/month. Honestly it is paying a higher yield than renting out my condo is getting me.

      Thanks for this, 30% is crazy to me. Which ETFs are these two if you don’t mind me asking?

  ex-date chasing

  Don’t they call that “stalking”?

    Also yes. More work, worth the pay off, do all you can to avoid commissions and fees.

      Haha I was making a joke about the terminology but I probably should actually do some reading about the topic

        It is also called ‘dividend stripping’.
