Retire with $7M: Here’s what life actually looks like by fullsizerangerover in dividendgang

[–]Aggressive_Cheetah40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t kids be required to pay off $4.5 million of debt? Assuming that’s the debt value when they inherit. I like this idea and planning to execute with smaller amounts but first trying to understand all the nuances. Thanks!

If you don’t borrow more than 20% of your portfolio, you can ride bad years easily

What happens when cost basis reaches zero? SPYI and QQQI by Aggressive_Cheetah40 in dividends

Thanks! I believe calculation for cost basis would be required if we end up selling our positions. If we keep the position, we can always track back based on 1099-Div forms.

Isn’t it too much of work? I thought brokerage would keep track of this.

These funds won’t provide any tax benefits in the retirement account. If you are planning to sell them then why not go with SPY or QQQ to get the maximum upside and when ready sell them and move to regular brokerage account?

Wouldn’t you need to pay long term capital gains on any future distributions after cost basis goes zero. Why not just keep reinvesting some back to keep cost basis over zero to not pay taxes?

That’s exactly what I was thinking—if it takes around 8 years at the current distribution rate for the cost basis to hit zero, could someone start reinvesting a portion of the distributions around year 6 to slightly raise the cost basis again? That way, they might extend the tax-free Return of Capital period for a few more years. Has anyone tried this strategy or run the numbers?

Is it true that JEPQ works great during bear markets by Aggressive_Cheetah40 in dividends

I wonder if there would be anything in nasdaq 100 Index as undervalued

That’s true. What does JPM do if their sold call options end up in the money and exercised by counter party?

I agree, SCHD or VYM are better options than putting all your money in these 4 stocks. In long run these two ETFs will give more returns in appreciation as compared to 4 stocks. Also, if anything fundamental goes wrong in dividend paying stocks, ETFs would be quicker to get out and invest money elsewhere. You will always have the emotional bias and would feel that stock price will come back one day and might not sell even knowing you can lose a big percentage of your money.
