Buying opportunity?
I don’t remember if I’ve said this already here or not.
I’ve done some research for a while, and this is what I have come up with for the best monthly paying securities.
STAG (warehouse/distribution center reit) 4.74%
UTG (utilities) 6.63%
BST (tech) 4.31%
PTY/GOF (mostly bonds and other financial instruments) 8.74%/11.9%
I can say as a truck driver stag is here to stay for the foreseeable future, I like it better than O, not that O is a terrible choice. Probably the same for UTG... and BST is in the tech sector and that’s a good place to be right now.
PTY/GOF have high dividends and a great history of not cutting them.
Anyone have anything to add as far as monthly? Preferably something that doesn’t go down in NAV over time and cut the dividend.
Edit: Thought I should mention GWRS, it’s a low yield but it does increase over time.
Buying opportunity?
I saw that too. Still unsure what to do with it. Like I mentioned before, I do think there is more upside than downside to VTRS. Not much opportunity cost to keeping it or adding to it, because I don't see anything else out there that is particularly compelling...
It’s now officially in the dividend aristocrat club (25 years of dividend increase) currently yielding 5.5%.
I may add some but I’d like to get in below $115.
I bought a bit of SKT (Tangers Outlet) Reit earlier this year because the price just got so low due to the pandemic and it paid a nice dividend.
Well I'll be damned if I didn't login EOD and see the SOB shot up. It looks like the hoodlum day traders saw how short it was and decided to create a run on it. Now to question of whether to hold it til after the ex-div date on thursday or sell it now as a 3xbagger.
thats what I was thinking, around 25. It could be a fun ride; but its not like its my favorite holding and I havent been a "let it ride" guy in a long ass time.i own it too. after seeing the gamestop lunacy, i'm holding tight
if it breaks 25 i may start scaling out of it

Took today's action to be a buying opportunity. Added some MRK when it dipped to 77. Starting to eye up adding more VZ as it dips into the low 50s...
Also watching MO. It's been easing down. Read the earnings call transcript, sounded solid, starting a 2 billion dollar share repurchase program and continuing to pay that monster dividend. Covid mania didnt hurt their sales at all.
A lot of moving parts there. JUUL, Cronos, their IQOS initiatives. That is another one that I really don't know what to do with. My basis on that is just under 39...so if it does dip down to that level, I might be tempted. But not until.

T vs VZ, 7.29% vs 4.58%, $2.08 vs $2.51, $28.64 vs $55.18
"sail foam" ?
holding T, VZ, BCE, TU in that sector. i dont expect any cap appreciation - consider them high yield money market type investments
Bought some more T last week. Can't beat the dividend.

That sounds pretty high. It's hard to say what rate we pay in Oregon because there's the real market value and assessed value that sometimes don't look very well coordinated. I can just say I pay about $5k a year for a fairly fancy place not in a big metro area. Around Portland, a pretty typical/average place can run 5K. Have to support those antifa subsidies.300,000 home = 9k per year. moderate discount if you live in the property via the homestead exemption - pay approx 5-6k per year with this
Go for the 6 month t-bill at 0.03%. On $10,000 you'll earn 3 bucks a year!money markets still paying zero ish
