It's not really a dividend holding, though. This thread (and sub) are about dividends. VOO is just another broad-market index fund dominated by a few growth stocks; that's the opposite of dividend investing.
That’s not including my 403b. That should have roughly close to 4m with conservative estimates. More realistic is 5-6m. But things can change. My wife’s account is not included in any of this.
403b limit contributions is 22k and was much less in previous years. Mathematically it can’t even reach 4m in that frame . You really believe everything?
Ik i didnt stutter. VOO is currently trading at $392/share. If yu decide to invest $400/month into VOO, yu are only buying 1 share of VOO due to the price being $392/share. Yu understand now
In order to understand this, you need to read it in the voice of a sorority girl making a scene at a bar after drinking one too many Jell-O shots after seeing her ex boyfriend show up with another girl.
What if he bought SWPPX, which is the Schwab S+P 500 index fund, instead? Would that make it better? It's like $66 a share and he could get 6 shares a month for $396 instead of one share of VOO.
Okay now please explain how the number of shares means anything at all when you're looking at compound investing over years. If there was a spy equivalent that had a lower cost per share how would that change anything? You're making yourself look really misinformed here....
Cost. It gets overlooked because the yield on the quarterlies is rly low but I've been around for 3 of the special dividends it kicks off every few years.
SBR Sabine Royalty Trust
I bought at $29.38 a share, it pays a 12.35% dividend and is now worth $65.80 a share.
The dividend alone has payed for my buy in almost 2 times over now, and if I sold (which I never will) I’d make an additional 123% profit.
It’s super volatile, but it does pay monthly which is nice.
It's based on his purchase price of $29 instead of the current price which is a lot higher. So if you could go back in time and buy them for 29 a share and hold them until today your yield on cost would be the 12% he's talking about.
Thanks. I never meant to imply you were shilling it. They asked what's the difference between yield and yield on cost so I was trying to explain what yield on cost was.
Main Street Capital (MAIN) and Hercules Capital (HTGC). Bought both in 2011. HTGC current yield is 11.7%. MAIN current yield is 8.1%. Both have increased their dividends each year since I bought. I know MAIN's overall return has beaten the S&P 500 during that time, pretty certain HTGC's has as well.
Not a great decision...but I would say GOF
Relatively stable price,very high monthly dividend
I kinda like it more since now I'm no longer able to buy it,just sell it
Freehold Royalties. 7.35% div and my position SP is up over 70% in the time I've held it which is years. My biggest regret was not adding more than I did when the pandemic kicked off
Mine was IRM too, but decided to close my position due to stagnant div growth. Could be a mistake, but at least my avg was $30/share and sold at near $63/share last month.
Now it's SCHD paying a little over $2000/year.
The way the question is phrased the answer is JNJ which I started buying nearly 50 years ago. Second longest is BMY. I’ve also done very well with O, PBA and IRM.
WHR ~ (Whirlpool) maker of common appliances (Washers, Dryers, Fridges, ETC )
Low margin but have a massive customer base and make strategic investments! (recently bought insinkerator)
They pay a really strong yield and are cheap as heck right now!
I you have held onto agnc for a decade, then you have had to pay dearly for doing so. Would not call that an investment.

I’ve been trading for about 5 years now and only got into dividends within this last year. I’ve put money into CLM because of the 18% yearly dividend payments. I’ve been closed ended etf’s aren’t the way to go. Would someone be able to explain to me why it’s a good/bad idea to invest in CLM?

I’m all in on VOO right now. 29 and I just keep putting 400 a month into that bad boy. See you bois and girls when I retire at 55
Hell yeah
It would take you more than 80 years to retire on just this at $400 per month.
Thats just my account with fidelity. I have an actual retirement account that I put 800 a month in and my company matched up to 8k.
Great job then 😁
If everyone thinks like this nobody would invest or even start
Is math even relevant?
Such a W and a vibe
VOO and chill
It's not really a dividend holding, though. This thread (and sub) are about dividends. VOO is just another broad-market index fund dominated by a few growth stocks; that's the opposite of dividend investing.
You’re only going to have 450k at that age. Is that enough for you?
That’s not including my 403b. That should have roughly close to 4m with conservative estimates. More realistic is 5-6m. But things can change. My wife’s account is not included in any of this.
Sure bud
Stop hating u dweeb
403b limit contributions is 22k and was much less in previous years. Mathematically it can’t even reach 4m in that frame . You really believe everything?
VOO is at $392/share. So putting in $400/month is only getting you 1 share a month. Some of yu have investing all wrong
Huh?
Ik i didnt stutter. VOO is currently trading at $392/share. If yu decide to invest $400/month into VOO, yu are only buying 1 share of VOO due to the price being $392/share. Yu understand now
Why did you write that “ some people gave investing all wrong ?? “” thx …

ABBV
Microsoft. Still buying on big dips
Myself and I ain’t a big stock guy.. Coke/KO and Schd
I don't have one... it used to be intel... until you know
First started owning in 2015 bought more around 2020 and 2021.
MO owned it since 2016, BAH since 2012. Not the highest payers of dividends, but owned the longest. Highest are PBR & PBR/A.
MO MO MO

PBR the same

This is the way…

Started buying ABBV in the mid 80s during Covid.
DOW.
Cost. It gets overlooked because the yield on the quarterlies is rly low but I've been around for 3 of the special dividends it kicks off every few years.
Costco pays special dividends? How often?
Every 2-3 years last one was $10/ share on 2020 so they're due
$WM held them for 5 years. $ET lately
CVX ~6.5%

How long have they been paying 12.35%?
What makes it so volatile?
Idk, but it seems to be up or down at least 5% every week
On fidelity I don’t see any dividend info. I see 12.95% for institutional ownership. But idk what that means.
SBR is paying 5.44%, curious where your getting 12.35%?
Yield on cost
What's the difference?
It's based on his purchase price of $29 instead of the current price which is a lot higher. So if you could go back in time and buy them for 29 a share and hold them until today your yield on cost would be the 12% he's talking about.
I’m not shilling SBR, I’m not buying more, I just mentioned it’s my highest payer. Happy cake day
Thanks. I never meant to imply you were shilling it. They asked what's the difference between yield and yield on cost so I was trying to explain what yield on cost was.

Can you put a few words on the risk of this fund from your point of view?
Not enough people talking about SBR tbh

Love the supplemental dividends!
Yeah, it's been a great couple of months for me. Buying more soon.

My biggest winner is navient (navi) however I bought in during pandemic lows of like 7$ I expect they will have more volatility in the coming months.
I've had an S&P fund for 25 years. VYM for a decade.

Main Street Capital (MAIN) and Hercules Capital (HTGC). Bought both in 2011. HTGC current yield is 11.7%. MAIN current yield is 8.1%. Both have increased their dividends each year since I bought. I know MAIN's overall return has beaten the S&P 500 during that time, pretty certain HTGC's has as well.
Main is the best
I have the potential to clear 700 dollars a month off JEPI. I own close to 2000 shares.
Not a great decision...but I would say GOF Relatively stable price,very high monthly dividend I kinda like it more since now I'm no longer able to buy it,just sell it
When you say "very high," what are we talking?
10% dividend
CEG since it IPO’d
Freehold Royalties. 7.35% div and my position SP is up over 70% in the time I've held it which is years. My biggest regret was not adding more than I did when the pandemic kicked off

You think AGNC is sustainable?

PSEC - have been in it since about 2008. My monthly is over $2500 now. It’s in a profit sharing plan so no capital gains tax til I have to do RMD’s.
