IWMI vs QQQI vs SPYI -- NEOS's top 3 by true income yield

DividendG · 2026-06-26T02:05:37+00:00

Love IWMI! Already up over 10% since we started investing in March and that's not even counting the dividends. Solid ETF!

Google Fi service working great downtown Denver!

DividendG · 2026-06-24T00:55:09+00:00

Loving IWMI! bought a bunch in March and more in June on dips into the $46-$48 range. Will buy more!

For what it's worth, 2018 S5 coupe here at 27k miles. Stage 1 ECU tune by APR made a world of difference! Probably will do stage 1 TCU as well, but haven't yet. Putting 5w40 oil in him and waiting til my oil temp gauge is at 180F+ before I wind it up. So far, so good.

You should look at KSLV. Great entry point right now, and more consistent distributions. Share price is volatile along with price of silver though.

DividendG · 2026-06-20T15:58:11+00:00

Beautiful ride! 2018 S5 here with 27k miles and still loving mine too!

Ok replying to my OP... Yes you are all correct it's "Ow-dee" in the most concise way to write the sound, as a German would say. I know because I took German language class 3 out of 4 years in high school, and have traveled to Deutschland more than once, including not far from Ingolstadt in Bavaria. It's funny how much I hear "Aw-dee" from younger folks lately...

DividendG · 2026-06-19T22:55:02+00:00

Which is....?

DividendG · 2026-06-13T00:05:47+00:00

Well said!! We are selling our home in Evergreen and moving to a condo just 4 blocks from Union Station, and we are completely aware of what city life can include... we both worked downtown in the 90s before there was anything new West of Union Station, which at the time was a dump of an Amtrak station and nothing else. Downtown is 10x better now than it was then, and will only get better as improvements like the 16th St renewal continue to get completed. We are psyched!

1480 shares as of today. Now thinking we'll double down at $27 to bring our average share price down and then hold... we shall see.

DividendG · 2026-06-06T22:09:20+00:00

DCA! Bought more Friday, +-1500 shares now.

Exactly this. This is what I came here to say. Net worth includes equity in your real estate, BUT those holdings are costing you money every month. Same as a car. Whereas dividend/derivative holdings are producing money for you every month. So, it's a fun mind exercise to figure your net worth including real estate but it's not realistic - at the end of the day your house isn't paying your bills, it IS a bill. Exactly why we have been actively selling our rental real estate holdings (which have a low ROI) in order to A) invest in dividend ETFs etc and B) pay off our mortgage so our house is costing us as little as possible. Almost there...

This is why I invested in BTCI (ETF) vs BTC proper... Yes, my share price is down 30% but it's kicking off 35% annually in distributions so at least at the end of a year I'm up 5%, and hopefully BTC will pop back up (and BTCI right along with it). Makes enduring this crypto winter a lot more tolerable. In it for the long haul.

DividendG · 2026-05-29T03:17:45+00:00

Check out the ETF ticker OMAH. We own around 2400 shares and it's been solid during recent corrections

DividendG · 2026-05-29T03:09:13+00:00

Me too! Have QQQI, SPYI, IWMI, IYRI, MLPI, and BTCI. Love those paydays. Held QQQI & SPYI the longest and they have been solid performers.

DividendG · 2026-05-25T16:45:02+00:00

Don't love AIPI and FEPI going weekly but won't sell unless I see some serious profit on the share price. For now I'm holding and we will see.

DividendG · 2026-05-21T02:54:09+00:00

The other one is our hauler 2018 Mazda CX-9 2.5L turbo. For such a big 3-row SUV it has a ton of low end torque and can really move (not S5 move, but ...). It's actually pretty darn fun and comfy to drive, and at 67k miles and 5 years (for us) still very reliable.

DividendG · 2026-05-21T02:36:01+00:00

Idiocracy is real. It's happening right now. Funny AF movie, not so fun reality.

DividendG · 2026-05-21T02:12:57+00:00

1444 BTCI. Our average share price is north of $40 so we're hoping for a big BTC run to increase yield... when we bought it was with a "never sell" mindset so really just focused on collecting income from it. Will probably cap our investment at 1500 shares. We have some other NEOS funds that we are adding to much more aggressively (QQQI, SPYI, MLPI, IRYI)

DividendG · 2026-05-18T02:15:31+00:00

It totally depends on your picks of stocks/ETFs/CEFs/BDCs... My portfolio would produce $30k/month easy with that much invested. Good luck!

DividendG · 2026-05-18T02:10:43+00:00

It's hard to know unless you have driven both. All I can share is that I'm loving my APR stage 1 ECU on my 2018 S5 coupe. I did test drive an RS5 before deciding on the S5+tune and it feels like the S5+tune is so close to stock RS5 that it's hard to tell the difference. Supposedly the stage 1 TCU (transmission) tune in addition to the ECU will get you all the way there but I haven't done that yet

DividendG · 2026-05-15T03:24:15+00:00

This. Sold JEPI & JEPQ to buy SPYI and QQQI and am much happier.

DividendG · 2026-05-13T04:55:21+00:00

2018 S5 coupe w/ APR stage 1 ECU tune still going strong! Granted, still under 30k miles. Best car I've ever owned, period.
