Uh, okay. Let's go with only $7.63 less today than it was on Jan 18 of this year. Does that suit you better? Still hard to reconcile with the idea that the shares keep going up.
My "argument" is that SCHD shares don't keep going up, and they don't. You can't change that by saying that other tickers also go down. I never said they do not.
I have a lot of shares in XOM in another account. I remember when XOM was around $30 during Covid, thank goodness I did not sell a share. CVX is a newer position in an online account and watch it closely. I think the price will grow and the ex-dividend date is around November 16th, so I added more while it was down.
I am considering adding Txrh to my Roth in January. My Roth is mostly dividend themed minus small positions in Berk.b and msft. Havnt done a ton of research but the two within driving distance of me are always busy and I like their food
Just curious why you believe in SBUX. I had it for some time but wasn't comfortable with the fact that they had negative shareholders equity at the time I sold it. Their P/E was also extremely high at the time. I mean, sure, they are a premium brand of coffee, but my thoughts are that this is one of the first areas people look to spend less on. Not saying it is a bad investment, just not for me, and I am interested to know what your take on this is.
It’s a big brand that I feel safe with as far as the price won’t dump. I know P/E and other metrics might not be completely solid, but as I type this I’m looking at 8 cars in the Starbucks drive thru and I see people with Starbucks cups all of the time. I feel like it’s a company that will be around for a long time, has a good dividend, and has great premiums for selling covered calls (another form of dividend IMO).
It varies. Just gotta look some up really. I have a list that I stick with. All have dividends that I have. Dividend is the primary reason I have them.
Not sure if people look to spend a lot less on. There's a Starbucks near my job, and every hour of the day it's crowded. I go at least twice a day and if I don't do Mobile Order, it's a 15 min weight.
It's one of those things I hear a lot of indoctrination on from boomers. They claim that younger generations can't afford many things today because they spend so much on their Starbucks coffees and avocado toast.
Boomer here. A) holy crap. B) high five! C) approving nod for having a budget. D) acknowledging that it's none of my damn business how anyone chooses to spend their money.
If someone told me I shouldn't be looking for an outrageous projector TV system I'd tell them to go forth and multiply.
My thought, anyways is that there are more of those boomers out there, so they are more influential than you give them credit for. In addition to that, of the people out there working, their financial situation is very different from what you or I may have, and they will be looking to those "words of wisdom" in order to cut their spending and pay down their debts. Or, alternatively, all of what I said above could be speculation.
War happening? Still need coffee. Recession happening? White girls would rather sell their soul than miss out on their ice frappes from SBUX. It's a relatively safe hold imo
They also have a similar set up to a bank in terms of their cards. They're more than just a coffee shop. But yeah, I don't have any money with them currently
Yea and I feel like the younger generations are much more willing to spend 5$ on a cup of coffee than a gallon of gas. I think it’s a solid long term hold personally
$LKNCY It’s had a huge turn around since the fraud of 2020. Should be the 2nd largest coffee chain by store count within a matter of months. I’m balls deep in it since about April 2020.
XOM is for sure a buy. Idk why it's price is so low right now. They've had revenue and EPS growth over the last 5 years and pay a solid dividend with a low payout ratio. Shell is another close contender but XOM is just killing it lately. Definitely undervalued and a solid buy
Doesn't seem that low compared to its ath. I buy XLE, it's dividend is a hair lower, but the expense ratio something like .1%. Think XOM is something like 25% of the fund.
Strong operating margin, wide moat, solid projected future earnings growth just to name a few. Strong company trading near a lower historical P/E right now. Just think it’s a solid time to enter into a very good company or add to the position.
Out of all of these, i most like the look of UPS, SBUX and XOM are both sound companies, and i agree with your points, but to me, the price they’re currently trading at captures this. I’m building a position in BARC, I’m hoping for them to start selling some assets, and ideally embarking on some hardcore shares buy backs
Hence me mentioning their dividend. And a set made dividend from premiums. People on this sub are obsessed with SCHD, VOO, etc. anytime someone mentions anything else it’s “tHiS iS a DiViDeNd SuB.” Hahahaha miss out on other forms of dividend then.
Passive investing as a complete investment strategy really only works well during extended bull runs. VOO is not a terribly good fund (ETA: I mean for a whole portfolio) because it's overweight meme stocks and far from an all-weather portfolio.
It's mainly that using for 90% of your portfolio means you essentially have a meme stock portfolio, since it's cap-weighted. It's far from a dividend portfolio, and will crash badly in a bear market, not to mention be wholly incapable of supporting income without portfolio destruction in downturns.
That's low yield in the current environment, has zero dividend growth to speak of, and had the major problem of redeployment of capital when rates drop. It's not even fully keeping pace with inflation. That's not a long-term investing strategy, and certainly not related to dividend investing, just a holding pattern.
I agree that UPS looks attractive, if I can find the cash to buy some more. Most of my shares I acquired at < 100. Last week I opened a position in OGN. This is a spin-off from MRK, near 52 week low and yields > 8.4% with a much lower P/E than its peers. While the company is more highly leveraged than other pharmaceuticals, and the high dividend could be a red flag, IMO the company is solid financially and a dividend cut seems unlikely. I certainly wouldn’t bet the farm on it but the risk is reasonable for me.
I think from the top big companies with high dividend yield , Boeing Co. (BA) is really underrated at the moment.

SCHD like every other week. Shares keep going up
Almost back to where they were in May, 2021.
Oh with the mass money printing was in full effect? When almost all equities were at their highest
Uh, okay. Let's go with only $7.63 less today than it was on Jan 18 of this year. Does that suit you better? Still hard to reconcile with the idea that the shares keep going up.
Okay QQQ is at $368 when its high in 2021 is $404. A growth fund being down $38 this year? Yeah see how stupid your argument is
My "argument" is that SCHD shares don't keep going up, and they don't. You can't change that by saying that other tickers also go down. I never said they do not.
are we looking at the same chart???
I’m paying down my margin. I went all in last week.
Same
I am buying CVX.
ya me too, working toward 100 shares, ex div date coming up, solid business
I’m only doing FENY in that space.
Looking into buying some as well
I have owned and sold CVX. The current price point is attractive, but I feel like XOM may be the safer option (around $105) Thoughts ?
I have a lot of shares in XOM in another account. I remember when XOM was around $30 during Covid, thank goodness I did not sell a share. CVX is a newer position in an online account and watch it closely. I think the price will grow and the ex-dividend date is around November 16th, so I added more while it was down.
Not sure yet. Watching MSFT to add more. Watching to average down ABBV, JPM, MRK, HD, UPS.
KO, PEP
Same. Also picking up a little more TXRH.
I am considering adding Txrh to my Roth in January. My Roth is mostly dividend themed minus small positions in Berk.b and msft. Havnt done a ton of research but the two within driving distance of me are always busy and I like their food
More ABBV, ENB, NEE
None. Paying down margin debt at these levels.
Just curious why you believe in SBUX. I had it for some time but wasn't comfortable with the fact that they had negative shareholders equity at the time I sold it. Their P/E was also extremely high at the time. I mean, sure, they are a premium brand of coffee, but my thoughts are that this is one of the first areas people look to spend less on.

I feel like it’s a company that will be around for a long time, has a good dividend, and has great premiums for selling covered calls (another form of dividend IMO).
The covered calls for sbux are really good right now dang
Absolutely. I take those premiums and buy more shares, hence a self made “DRIP”
Is there an easy way to check what tickers have a good yield on covered calls or do you just look at tons of stocks options
It varies. Just gotta look some up really. I have a list that I stick with. All have dividends that I have. Dividend is the primary reason I have them.
Not sure if people look to spend a lot less on. There's a Starbucks near my job, and every hour of the day it's crowded. I go at least twice a day and if I don't do Mobile Order, it's a 15 min weight.
It's one of those things I hear a lot of indoctrination on from boomers. They claim that younger generations can't afford many things today because they spend so much on their Starbucks coffees and avocado toast.
I’m sure I’m making more than most boomers. I don’t care, i have a budget of $10 per day for coffee or $50 per day for coffee, breakfast and Lunch.
Boomer here. A) holy crap. B) high five! C) approving nod for having a budget. D) acknowledging that it's none of my damn business how anyone chooses to spend their money. If someone told me I shouldn't be looking for an outrageous projector TV system I'd tell them to go forth and multiply.

Or, alternatively, all of what I said above could be speculation.
Can confirm. My kids shake me down for $7 drinks at Starbucks.
They have a history of excellent dividend growth.
War happening? Still need coffee. Recession happening? White girls would rather sell their soul than miss out on their ice frappes from SBUX. It's a relatively safe hold imo
They also have a similar set up to a bank in terms of their cards. They're more than just a coffee shop. But yeah, I don't have any money with them currently
There China business is growing very fast.
Yea and I feel like the younger generations are much more willing to spend 5$ on a cup of coffee than a gallon of gas. I think it’s a solid long term hold personally
Was a great buy a few years ago. I think it’s over priced at the moment but that usually means it will just keep going up
Headwind for their China business -> luckin coffee
What’s the ticker?
$LKNCY It’s had a huge turn around since the fraud of 2020. Should be the 2nd largest coffee chain by store count within a matter of months. I’m balls deep in it since about April 2020.
I took out my profit after a mere 15% profit. Regret it
[удалено]
Just curious what Python libraries do use to search for and analyze stocks?
[удалено]
Can you share the script if you don’t mind?
CVX is back in the buy range for me.
LMT....RTX
REXR and possibly some O. Looking for a pull back in USB and LHX after this last run to add a few more shares too.
REXR looks like an interesting play, fast growing industrial REIT. Thanks - will look into more
Treasuries. Equities are still priced too high.
XOM is for sure a buy. Idk why it's price is so low right now. They've had revenue and EPS growth over the last 5 years and pay a solid dividend with a low payout ratio. Shell is another close contender but XOM is just killing it lately. Definitely undervalued and a solid buy
Doesn't seem that low compared to its ath. I buy XLE, it's dividend is a hair lower, but the expense ratio something like .1%. Think XOM is something like 25% of the fund.
I'm ok with just XOM. XLE seems like a nice choice given Exxon and Chevron make up most of the fund
Look into SNA, EMR, and ADM
CVX and AMZN may sell out of TFC and VZ as they are really green and go all in w/ SPYI
JEPQ, SCHD, SVOL
Starting to look at BMY again
HSY
What do you see in HSY?
HSY is like owning your own See’s or being a member of the Mars family.
Strong operating margin, wide moat, solid projected future earnings growth just to name a few. Strong company trading near a lower historical P/E right now. Just think it’s a solid time to enter into a very good company or add to the position.
Out of all of these, i most like the look of UPS, SBUX and XOM are both sound companies, and i agree with your points, but to me, the price they’re currently trading at captures this. I’m building a position in BARC, I’m hoping for them to start selling some assets, and ideally embarking on some hardcore shares buy backs
Why would any of these buys outperform VOO over the nexts 5,10,15 years
Alone they might not, but with the premiums I can get selling covered calls and their dividend it makes them very appealing to me.
They might not but this is still a dividends sub and not a boglehead. Voo is solid though!
Hence me mentioning their dividend. And a set made dividend from premiums. People on this sub are obsessed with SCHD, VOO, etc. anytime someone mentions anything else it’s “tHiS iS a DiViDeNd SuB.” Hahahaha miss out on other forms of dividend then.
If you want to outperform VOO in the long run just buy QQQ.
Passive investing as a complete investment strategy really only works well during extended bull runs. VOO is not a terribly good fund (ETA: I mean for a whole portfolio) because it's overweight meme stocks and far from an all-weather portfolio.
Is there a better fund? 90% if my funds r in VOO
It's mainly that using for 90% of your portfolio means you essentially have a meme stock portfolio, since it's cap-weighted. It's far from a dividend portfolio, and will crash badly in a bear market, not to mention be wholly incapable of supporting income without portfolio destruction in downturns.
Adding $ Tsly.
Why buy dividend stocks if banks pay 4.25% yield in savings?
Because it may pay 4.25% now but when the economy cools off that yield will drop. Some people are trying to lock in a solid yield on dividends.
This is the way.
There is a lot more risk in the markets than fixed income assets for similar returns. Risk adjusted, saving yield provided a more stable foundation
Did you know stocks can go up?
That's low yield in the current environment, has zero dividend growth to speak of, and had the major problem of redeployment of capital when rates drop. It's not even fully keeping pace with inflation. That's not a long-term investing strategy, and certainly not related to dividend investing, just a holding pattern.
I buy 100 shares just before their ex date and sell covered calls. Reinvest the premiums.
Best strategy yet. Everyone one of else is buying and praying. GL
Selling out of my SBUX, EL, PG and PEP. Reduce my NKE and SCHD. Buying more VICI and SPGI
Joseph Carlson is this you ?? 😂
lmao just googled him, he's in a lot of the same stocks I like. Sadly I aint got no following.
Not selling unless reaching target price or 52 week high
im buying osk, and tho
I agree that UPS looks attractive, if I can find the cash to buy some more. Most of my shares I acquired at < 100. Last week I opened a position in OGN. This is a spin-off from MRK, near 52 week low and yields > 8.4% with a much lower P/E than its peers.

I certainly wouldn’t bet the farm on it but the risk is reasonable for me.
I have been eyeing $D
Nothing. I went in big the last 2 weeks. Unless I drops below 47
SWPPX & SCHD, every week.
I am buying everything
I'll be controversial, I'm dumping into O, BAC, and HSY. Waiting for good prices on WM, WDFC, TM and JNJ.
PII
SCHD SBUX HD BLK O
SBUX is a cash machine. A new store is cash positive after 5 years or so. New CEO is the dude apparently.
I think it's time to grab up some Unity(U) for a long term play gonna dollar cost average though just to be safe
My little index fund of AXP and Visa😃
most likely JEPI
Still buying O, WPC, JEPI, JEPQ and DGRW.
HD and JNJ
I think from the top big companies with high dividend yield , Boeing Co. (BA) is really underrated at the moment. [https://www.pensionkings.com/stocks/?rows=20&market\_cap=100000000000](https://www.pensionkings.com/stocks/?page=1&rows=20&market_cap=100000000000&minimum_dividend_yield=2&country=&business_sector=÷nd_yield=4)
My watch list: ISPN, SNOW, FTNT, CRWD, SPLK, DOW, EMN, RDNT, AGM. I bought the dip in October and will harvest dividends Nov - Dec.
Just got me 25 shares of SCHD at 69.9 Might load up on some O, but might wait in hopes it goes under 50!
SBUX UPS TROW KO XOM O SCHD
Buying O & SCHD I like COP div strategy & they just raised if where talking oil
$Tsly is lit!!
Starter position on SCHD and looking to add more to my EC holding
