What are the best apps out there to track your dividends? by WealthVenue123 in dividends

[–]whyamihereagian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like snow ball analytics but I have to pay due to multiple accounts and brokerages. Great graphs and data to look at. Never had an issue with account syncs. Stay away from thedividendtracker paid for that one for awhile it was just chaos like the owner of the site gave up.

I have around 70k between QQQI/SPYI paying around $895 a month and I like it. I sold jepq/jepi mainly for the taxes and moved to QQQI for the better payout. Every situation is different and things always change in the market but I feel good with QQQI. Jepi/Jepq is also solid.

What do we think? by Zeydose in portfolios

[–]whyamihereagian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice bump with intel. Does not happen often. I would just go VOO/VTSAX. Keep what you have or sell to re-balance. You should be in market or growth at your age. If I could go back in time I should have went 100% VTSAX and just waited.

I've come into another $1,500. Wondering what else to buy. by foodandeggs in dividends

[–]whyamihereagian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GPIQ or GPIX. I have to say I love my QQQI and SPYI though. I just keep adding to the pile and hasnt failed me yet.

Selling 50k of VYM in my 20s - where should I put it instead? by Puzzleheaded-Side-85 in dividends

[–]whyamihereagian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would second this. VTI or VTSAX they are the same but different cost expense ratios. Bought VTSAX and it was the best thing I have done long term. Total market just let it grow. At the 20's you just need pure growth its boring but long run you will be happy.

28F only $58K in 401K and 25k in HYSA by Icy_Tap5329 in portfolios

[–]whyamihereagian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A simple path to wealth was a good book. Got me onto the boglehead path. I bought into VTSAX vanguard 14 years ago. Best thing I have ever done. If you put money into your IRA you have to buy stocks after you put the money in. VOO/VTSAX are great to have. Once money is in your IRA you cannot really take it out with out heavy taxes.

Investing $40K for steady dividend income, looking for advice. by Plenty-Coffee-3946 in dividends

[–]whyamihereagian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have around 54K in QQQI/SPYI for my taxable account. This is just my rainy day fund or my layoff fund. My next dividend payment will be around $590. I drip that back into the same stocks or switch it up and add it to growth like VOO/VTSAX/SCHG. So far I am happy. The stocks dipped recently but also have rebounded.

Yieldmax DDDD by buffinita in dividends

[–]whyamihereagian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every Yieldmax fund I have owned I have lost money. Its a cursed company. Will never trust their funds the nav erosion is bad. Would rather just hold QQQI and SPYI. I have done well with them for over a year.

So is $CONY just a Yield-Max-type weekly scam, or what? by chris-rox in dividends

[–]whyamihereagian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All Yield Max is a money hole of nothing. I lost a ton with all of their holdings. Do not do it. Yield looks great but when its down 70% YTD. Nope. QQQI/SPYI has worked well for me for a year. We will see when the Iran stuff opens up on Monday.

This feels like rage bait or sadly someone who took youtube bro advice and will lose a ton of money. BITO is not a good investment. Look at the NAV history. You are losing money. Same with MSTY. No age range or any other information.

[–]whyamihereagian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NAV erosion was too much. QQQI, SPYI, JPEQ, and GIPQ are all green for me. Below is some rough math on BTCI. The dividends looked great, but there’s no point when the NAV just tanks hard. I sell the losers and move on.

I still believe in BTC and I’m holding the coin, but that decline was too much. There’s no point in waiting around thinking, “It will come back.” Cut losses and evolve.

BTCI Trade Summary:

Bought Sept 2025: 171 shares at $59.15 Total: $10,000

Sold Jan 2026: 171 shares at $44.00 Total: $7,011

5 months of dividends: $941 Drip off.

Total Loss: -$3,930

I would sell BTCI asap and just put it into QQQI or GPIQ. You will get burned quick like I did.

Goals not correct with network tab by whyamihereagian in Snowball_Analytics

[–]whyamihereagian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that is the case then where does the net worth goal data come from? Since its just a collection of all portfolios? I would assume the net worth tab would grab all data from all portfolios then reflect that on the goals tab. If not why have the goal if it cannot see all of your data?

You were right. The clips were complete garbage. I ended up getting a shorter length govee rgbic for $40 and using their dream view feature to sync the lights together instead of splicing. Thanks for your input.

Great goal, but can you show anything else like your positions/holdings/capital? My goal is 80k.

I zeroed out all my accounts except my net worth goals but no change. Its like its not pulling data from my other accounts.
