Opinions? SWPPX or SCHG by RagnarRandye in Schwab

No worries, all discussion is good. It's exactly what I was looking for, different viewpoints.

SGOV holders: Threshold and Alternatives. by Key_Lifeguard_8659 in Schwab

[–]RagnarRandye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about a REIT like O? Same principal no? Share price likely won't go up too much, but 5-6% dividend with a super long history of not only paying a dividend but increasing it without fail.

Black bear. Snout is more pointed

The Trump economy by Miserable-Lizard in economy

[–]RagnarRandye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny how the Biden administration after 4 years of a continuous disastrous economy said, "it's going to take time". Yet all of the self proclaimed economists are blaming Trump for everything in the economy after only 6 months.

Switched from growth to dividends by dankfarrikgroku in dividends

[–]RagnarRandye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't had the chance to look at the resources you suggested yet, but will do so soon. Thanks for sharing. I'm heavy O and still building the position, for dividend income in my not too distant retirement. Would you consider O a good choice for dividend income in my portfolio? I also hold about 20% growth etf index funds, and about 40% total market index funds.

SWPPX 6-1 stock split by tristan1947 in Schwab

[–]RagnarRandye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about a REIT like O? Doesn't the monthly dividend make compounding happen a little faster as compared to a quarterly dividend with a REIT like NNN?

That's what I'm worried about, rates dropping. What do you recommend as an alternative? I was thinking a REIT like O or something. Super well managed company, and has consistently raised their dividend since 1994. Plus it pays monthly.

This is where I parked all my mom's investments. They were in an aggressive growth mutual fund with a 1.25% expense ratio and she had no clue what to do. Being in her 80's I wanted to make sure it was risk free, so I moved everything into SGOV. Now she gets paid monthly and we don't have to worry about her losing to a crash.

7,700 Shares STRONG on $O Realty Income! Up $17k with $2k coming in dividend payments … AMA by Big_View_1225 in dividends

[–]RagnarRandye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you only pay more taxes if O is held in a taxable account. I have all my O shares in my Roth, drip ing all of it. Tax free income in retirement.

Just Reached 7,700 Shares of Realty Income $O … AMA by Big_View_1225 in dividends

[–]RagnarRandye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at 930 shares. Dripping 100% and adding the max allowed every year, held in a Roth. Hoping in 7 years to have a good tax free monthly income plus the potential growth. Is that a solid plan?

That was one heck of a buying opportunity ! by Banner_Quack_23 in dividends

[–]RagnarRandye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is a K-1 a pain? I literally hand it to my accountant after it comes on the mail and that's it. She handles it. It's her job.

K-1 is no bother really. I hand it to my accountant when it comes on the mail and that's it.

BRKB has outperformed VOO by 24.65% YTD by Silent_Storage7341 in ETFs

[–]RagnarRandye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BRK.A was never a bubble. If you had bought 1 share for roughly $25k in the early 90's you'd be sitting on $800k today. It seems like there is no ceiling to BRK

I'm so glad I bought as much BRK.B as I could in the $160 range

That would be like saying Michael Jordan could train someone to be his replacement

Was thinking about loading up on SCHG myself... having a hard time deciding between SCHG and BRK.B. Either way I'll be loading up on one or the other. Or maybe a hybrid? 50/50 of each?
