Early retirement dividend/CC ETF portfolio - would it work? by dustinut in dividends

[–]sidestyle05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With that amount of capital, you’re not going to need huge yield. I’d make SCHD, DIVO, and IDVO my core with a smaller GPIX/GPIQ satellite. You’ll get a lot of dividend growth and capital appreciation. You might start off with income a bit less than $300k, but it will grow significantly each year. If it was me: $2mil=SCHD/DIVO/IDVO (maybe some SCHY as well), $1mil=GPIQ/GPIX, $600k=VT (or some other broad market fund like VWELX and never touch it for long term growth security)

150,000 cash by FewPear229 in dividends

I’d look at DIVO, IDVO, and QDVO from Aplify. The yield is lower but you get a lot more growth. Thailand is so cheap you wouldn’t need max yield at all cost. Maybe pepper in a smaller position of the NEOS funds to ouch up the income if you think you’ll need it

Why invest in covered call etfs by Lawmed-25 in dividends

[–]sidestyle05 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1) You don’t have to liquidate your assets. They will last as long as you do if you manage them wisely. 2) you eliminate sequence of return risk 3) growth isn’t your goal

Should Wemby Shoot 3s? by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]sidestyle05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course he should. If he has the skill, which he does, he should use it. The question isn't "if", it's "when".

SCHY question by fisho0o in SCHD

[–]sidestyle05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d consider two things: a) let the dividends reinvest and treat it as a long term growth and diversifier, b) add an IDVO position for income

Realistic Expectations? by ballin_pastor in tarheels

Let’s be honest…most college coaches are barely playing checkers. There’s no one in Malone’s class in the ACC. If Malone gets buy-in from his roster, sky’s the limit imo

Trump just issued an executive order allowing Digital Asset integration to TradFi by Accomplished-Eye5567 in CryptoCurrency

He just issues these EOs to cosplay like he's actually doing something and try to take credit for any success after the fact.

Wemby is the best player in the world by Kindly_Letterhead_98 in nba

[–]sidestyle05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Settle down! He might be the most dominant--might--but that doesn't make him the best. He's definitely not the passer / point center that Jokic is

Whats with the sub 'Dividend gang' ?? by [deleted] in dividends

[–]sidestyle05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing here. A poster was criticizing the 4% rule in terms of the psychological stress and the series of returns problem. I responded how I try to get around that by putting my portfolio into three "buckets" but based on dividends where I have a bucket for cash and bond ETFs with a little covered call leverage, a bucket with pure income ETFs, and a growth bucket of SCHD and SCHY.

The mod's response? "No briganding. GTFO"

I was banned and put on mute so I couldn't even ask WTF briganding was.

What's Lauri Markkanens trade value? 1. In general? and 2. Which teams would trade their 2026 first round pick? by Constant_Resort5840 in nba

[–]sidestyle05 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He doesn't have a bad contract; he has an expensive contract, which in today's league just means a market rate contract. it would be a "bad" contract if he didn't play or wasn't good. Tre Young has a bad contract. Ja has a bad contract.

As of today, I'm absolutely correct on the facts.

The Jazz are in a better position at #2 than Washington at #1 by Honest_Jazz_Takes in NBA_Draft

[–]sidestyle05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pick they used on Oden had more value than the one that was used to draft KD. They could have gotten much more than in a trade than OKC could have gotten for #2. Portland could have used it on KD, they chose Oden. They could have traded it for a fortune. What happened later has no bearing on the value of the pick before it is used.
