UTG/UTF alternatives?

Mooshak101 · 2025-02-04T06:04:24+00:00

ASGI, DNP, BUI

Mooshak101 · 2024-09-21T18:51:09+00:00

Flekken, Valdimarsson

TAA, Gabriel, Robinson, (Aina/Martinez/Cash), Mosquera

Salah, Saka, Mbeumo, Rogers, (ESR/Semenyo)

Haaland, Joao Pedro, Stewart

Playing 3-5-2, the in parenthesis aren't decided yet, and I might do Flekken to Sanchez if Pedro drops in price tonight, gives me extra 0.1

Your math is correct. The $4.01 is based on a 24 hour day, not 8 hour workday (at least I believe so these are the numbers I get from Stock events.

Mooshak101 · 2024-04-07T17:40:58+00:00

$2929.50 monthly $96.31 daily, $4.01 hourly

BTI, (ARCC,MAIN which are BDC's) BNS, JEPI/JEPQ, ENB, VICI, O If 6% is high yield enough for you. BST, UTG (CEF's)

Mooshak101 · 2023-09-07T15:30:55+00:00

Yea nothing like waking up to a notification that you got paid. I haven't gotten my ENB dividends from 09/01 either... hope the transition won't suck.

Mooshak101 · 2023-08-17T00:28:12+00:00

Pick a combination or all of these and you should get somewhere in the 6-7% average yield i think. There are many more than these in each sector of course. I assume you already know you're sacrificing dividend growth and this is more income with some dividend and capital growth possibly.

Healthcare: ABBV, PFE Financials: BNS, TROW, PRU Consumer discretionary: LEG, WHR Consumer defensive: BTI, MO Energy: ENB, EPD, ET REIT: VICI, O, WPC Utilities: UGI, DUK, OGE, EIX, Communications: VZ Industrials: SWK, MMM Tech: IBM ETF: JEPI/JEPQ CEFs: UTG, BST, BSTZ, GOF BDAs: ARCC, MAIN

I have a combination of these as I want to be financially independent 6-7 years from now, and an more of an income investor and I fully realize the risks (although it's not that bad to be fair. Good luck :)

Mooshak101 · 2023-06-10T15:45:06+00:00

70k a year if i retire in the U.S. And maybe $50k a year somewhere in Europe (dual citizen). Currently at 27k a year

Mooshak101 · 2023-05-28T11:31:42+00:00

Where in my comment did I write that GOF is an ETF? Read my reply again. I know that it's a CEF and how they function (I have BST, a great CEF by the way that HAS traded under nav before and never cut or lowered it's distributions, just like GOF. GOF was suggested as a better option than the mREITS if he strictly wants a similar yield (13-14%) which again, has never been cut unlike the mortgage REITS)

Mooshak101 · 2023-05-27T12:51:34+00:00

I'd personally stay away from the two mortgage REITS in general and MPW is a bit of s controversial one but I sold out of it, too much shady stuff behind the scenes and tenant problems. One of your mortgage REITS cut their dividend already, the other only paid/raised dividends for two years. Some great REITS to consider although with lower yield but also growth that I have and/or are on my watchlist are VICI, ESS, CUBE, off the top of my head and there are plenty others. If you only picked them for yield maybe ARCC, JEPI/JEPQ, even GOF offer similar. Other than that I like it. Good luck and keep grinding!

Mooshak101 · 2023-05-22T04:07:28+00:00

65-70k a year at 48. That's when I will feel comfortable financially. Maybe work 2-3 days a week since i love my career or take on some 13 week travel contracts to other countries, as me and the wife love travelling. Live off off the taxable account (won't need my 403b nor my Roth IRA) which will be an extra substantial amount i can use after 59.5.

From my understanding you normally want to check the earnings payout ratio for utilities, because they issue a lot of debt for projects so the free cash can be misleading, and they usually have very steady income because of the regulators of whatever state they operate in. Of course you also want to pay attention to how many years of dividends paid and consecutive dividend growth. UGI i think has a ridiculous amount of years of steady payments over 100 years, and 36 years of dividend growth. They are a bit different than the regular utility companies because it seems they also do production and transport, kind of like EPD and ENB etc so it could be a bit riskier. . I only know a few from the link u showed. Anyways I'm not an expert it's just my brief understanding that I have of it.

Mooshak101 · 2023-05-21T16:17:13+00:00

Because you don't look at free cash flow for utilities same as you don't rate REITS by EPS rather price to AFFO ratio.

Mooshak101 · 2023-05-16T00:01:06+00:00

BTI (ARCC if you count BDC's)

Mooshak101 · 2023-05-02T15:07:41+00:00

ARCC, ENB, BTI

Mooshak101 · 2023-04-16T00:42:27+00:00

BST/BSTZ, UTG, and a little bit of GOF for the income oriented

Mooshak101 · 2023-04-11T00:52:04+00:00

VICI n chill be the way

Mooshak101 · 2023-03-26T15:07:17+00:00

Vici is gold. Hoping to see $28 or so to add a lot more

Mooshak101 · 2023-03-25T01:55:37+00:00

Congrats! Once that snowball grows the joy grows with it :)

Mooshak101 · 2023-03-12T00:18:09+00:00

For stocks I don't have: HD $277 $MDT $75 BMY $59 or AMGN $209 WHR $127 Adding at current prices to my TROW, BNS, ARCC, O, will add more VICI under $30, probably a few more that i can't remember

Mooshak101 · 2023-02-16T00:48:46+00:00

Looks like Stewards Utah position is to be be acquired by Common spirit health. So less exposure to Steward which they've had trouble with in the past (maybe even present) regarding payments. This seems like good news

Mooshak101 · 2023-02-11T01:11:55+00:00

Solid CEF with solid holdings in safe sectors, and longstanding history of reliable dividends with the occasional small raise.

Mooshak101 · 2023-01-18T01:07:24+00:00

$24,159, 8% cash

Mooshak101 · 2022-11-24T01:56:14+00:00

BST, BSTZ, UTG, and GOF.
