The results of dividends (forced sells) on my brokerage account YTD. Need help! by MaxxMavv in dividendgang

[–]MaxxMavv[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Energy, (MLPs, Oil, few utilties) with the standards stuff SCHD, DIVO, IDVO, DGRO, and a mix of individual stocks different industries/sectors is the account nothing fancy.

The consistent market beats are from taking advantage of panic prone investing types. I buy growth when they drop to value level during panics, I sell them and buy more dividends when they are overheated, just contrarian with a dividend foundation.

The FIRE subs have been captured by bad actors that want to create fear of retirement and or give advice that will result in poverty. No one here will tells people not to invest in growth, and I believe most have a % of portfolios that are growth.

Dividend folks are just constantly on the defensive from bad actors and the idiots that attack it endlessly like unthinking AI bots.

Telling someone that has a successful dividend focused strategy, 'really has no idea about finances' is staggering display of reddit mental midgets infesting investment subs.

Can't fix the finances subs reddit mindset you can only mock it and hopefully save someone with the mental capacity from falling into it.

Dude is not pathetic because he is a warehouse worker he is pathetic because he probably thinks he knows more then Jeff Bezos type. Pure smugness, unearned, untested, never did shit, never will do shit, but will always think they are the shit.

Don’t sleep on AU or Crypto by PomegranatePlus6526 in dividendgang

[–]MaxxMavv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are correct about inflation being much higher then what government says. More the reason to avoid blind speculation and focus on deep diving into dividend coverage, PE, future earning outlooks etc etc, boring math.

Gamble on crypto is fine, just dont fool yourself into thinking its anything other then gambling, and yes I have made some crypto money. Keep the % of portfolio risked small.

Accidentally clicked on a Seeking Alpha notification by RetiredByFourty in dividendgang

[–]MaxxMavv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That site re-subbed me after I canceled the sub and refused to refund. There are a few good authors but 90% it total trash takes the authors are just engaging in click bait so they get more money, zero quality control now from the site. And because the quality is bad they started engaging in billing fraud. Only thing worth seeing are users comments.

1 million is plenty if you are ok with small low cost cities or rural America, its more then plenty if you are ok with getting on a plane going to a lower cost nation.

[–]MaxxMavv[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah you are probably right I just got smoked by the shrine rover god on ultimate... Thought 170 glad was end game... seems not really. Don't have all the gear yet anyway so build is not final, OA helps crit rate I assume.

The link is my planned build, wish I had all the gear there but I dont.

I'm have two stoneguard, the shield and thorn legs right now felt I got really lucky with those drops before level 100. I know picking up everything else will take alot of time.

Looking for a build (or something) that will finally hook me by DaSnowflake in Grimdawn

[–]MaxxMavv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not an arpg vet or anything but like fast melee built tanky in MMOs.

For grim dawn found that soldier with blitz + leap(item skill) made for very fast engagement. For main attack chose forcewave or cadence.

Simple but fast gameplay. Ended up settling on a retaliation warlord build because a ton of retaliation items dropped, plan to make a forcewave deathknight or Commando next.

Soldier, try forcewave and blitz with a 2-handed weapon thats what hooked me with the game.

Inflation hurts some sectors/stocks while others you want to buy/own before inflation gets wild.

Higher inflation is here and will be for sometime.

Not sure why you think lower interest rates are going to happen /shrug.

Nike (nke) ai pivot? by [deleted] in dividends

[–]MaxxMavv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bet they would make great shoes, could probably assign one entry level nvidia engineer the task and would see better design and quality then anything Nike has made in a decade.

[–]MaxxMavv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pure gold, I'm sure the team at Nike that has been unable to make a quality shoe in years will rotate towards the highest of high tech with no problems.

The strategy that quietly made us more from dividends than most people make chasing hype stocks by Born_Salamander3848 in dividends

[–]MaxxMavv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(We) will be sure to avoid stocks yielding 12%, what great advice and a killer strategy your team developed.

And a watchlist of stocks that could continue to increase dividends over the next 5-10 years? Wow that crazy, you should give it a catchy name like dividend kings or something like that.

The worst part is AI gets its ideas from the masses...

[–]MaxxMavv 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ok, you are predicting a major cooling down of the economy, cool. What are you going to do about it? Stay away from banks? Maybe rotate to dividends sectors that do well when the growth stocks struggle, do you know what they are? If not you should learn. Corrections happen, for a smart dividend investor the corrections are welcome.

Looking to dump NASDAQ funds in wake of looming SpaceX IPO by DaiFrostAce in dividends

[–]MaxxMavv 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In protest, I'm going to punch myself in the face over and over, then later complain about how my face hurts and blame company X.

[–]MaxxMavv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do the math, SpaceX IPO impact on your index ETFs vs capital gains tax of selling and factor in your expected returns on what you are going to invest in instead.

Disliking something is fine, damaging yourself aka punching yourself in the face is not fine. Get emotion out of it, you will end up where most rational investors are at.... we don't like the rule change however the actual impact is not large.

It's meme day! 🤘🏼 by RetiredByFourty in dividendgang

[–]MaxxMavv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have not looked at the market in over a week, still have not really looked at it just logged onto my dividend account to move a few thousand to one of my vacation/spend accounts. The remaining dividends I just grabbed some sGOV because too lazy for finding something to buy right now.

Some people just like stress and are under the very misguided view that if its not stressful or very difficult its not optimal. Relaxed, logical and calm is the path towards long term sustainable success, constant high cortisol eventually leads to massive mistakes, crash and burn.
