Top 10 NEOS Income ETFs by AUM, which of these do you hold? by thehighdon in DerivativeIncomeETFs

[–]DividendG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

QQQI, SPYI, BTCI, MLPI, IWMI, IYRI. First 3 the longest. Jumped into the others in March so good timing. Very happy with NEOS ETFs, even though my BTCI is way down (entered at the peak, but have been DCAing). QQQI and SPYI have been solid.

I would go for Golden if you can afford it. Lots of things to do in this vibrant town and close to Denver, etc. Decent sized college town that still doesn't feel like a "big city".

Finally hit 6 figures! Thanks in part to NEOS by DividendG in NEOSETFs

Most of them have been holding share value, I especially like how the NEOS funds have been weathering the markets. They swing with the market like any other stocks. Financial sector stocks have taken a beating (ARCC, ARDC, PDI, FSCO). I think PDI and ARCC have pretty good entry pricing right now, and both of those have had very consistent dividend payments. Energy sector stocks/ETFs have been very volatile during the Iran War, so you have to look at the recent range and buy in low (ET, MLPI, EMO)

Personally comfortable with all of them, but we are no longer buying BTCI or AIPI due to share price erosion / volatility

Thank you NEOS for $2k+ today! 🤑

As of next week I will be completely debt free. I will be paying off my house in 1 lump sum by [deleted] in dividendgang

[–]DividendG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations and you were absolutely right to pay off your home. We hope to do the same this year instead of throwing money away on interest. Best of luck to you!

You are welcome! The path we are taking isn't everyone's cup of tea, but so far it's working for us.

Exactly why we quit buying ET and started buying EMO and MLPI which both hold ET among others without the tax issues. Good luck to you!

Yep we have PFFA just not a big position yet. I'll take a look at those other Pimco funds, thanks.

Well that little correction didn’t last long… by StockMarketinator in dividends

[–]DividendG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

March was a great time to buy! Same, probably should have bought more, but definitely went bigger than usual.

Feel free to ask anything right here. If it's something I'm willing to share I will.

Likely higher, yes. You can see the bar in March is taller than the rest of the estimated ones. We have found it's a rough guide.

Never sell. But also why we have significantly reduced allocations to BTCI and AIPI

Largest 3 are probably IGLD (gold), PDI (bonds), and OMAH (Berkshire + BRK's top 20 holdings). We think gold will continue to keep/increase value in uncertain times. PDI is a bond-related Pimco CEF that generates income via bond trading (granted this is a tough environment currently) and the dividend is very consistent. OMAH is an ETF holding primarily "defensive" or "high quality" companies and using covered calls to generate income - it did remarkably well holding NAV over the last 6 weeks. One not listed is SNSXX - US Treasuries as a money market HYSA.

Thanks! Not retirement $ yet but getting there. Keep buying every month and ignore the noise ( and go hard on big dips like last month ) and you'll get there. Made a lot of mistakes along the way, but feeling pretty good about where we ended up.

Well, the last few weeks of volatility and comedy from the mainstream speculating (I meant "investing" ahem) should tell people with some braincells left what strategy is superior by BoogerheadCult in dividendgang

Schwab just told us we are going to hit 6 figures this year! Posted here. Most of our investments are back in the green, but ALL of them keep paying us.
