[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) How much do you personally have invested in stocks like these? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MrEff@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) Little under 30k in higher risk dividend. Bring in about 800 a month. I have a mix of large cap, small cap growth stocks, then dividend high risk and low risk. Stock like this (I do not own PETS, I was just using it as an example) would be a high risk due to its price instability. But you mitigate that with stop loss orders. I have a vanguard/roth for my longs (large cap growths and stable dividends with DRIP) and then use etrade for the small cap or high risk ones. I like their tax documents and easy interface. People make arguments against dividend stocks, I simply call it a different strategy. Some years it beats out my growths, some years it is about on par. Depends on where I have it at the time and slightly more market dependant. I have recently gotten into ex-date chasing. While it has increased the returns, it is more work. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) ex-date chasing Don't they call that "stalking"? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MrEff@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) Also yes.

When the market is bear, I go heavy on dividends. Right now though there is a high beta turmoil, so I have a mix of both. My IRA is also set up as more od a "leave this alone" investment. My etrade account has my "fuck around and find out" money. I mention this because it is hard to directly compare the two. So far my dividends have strongly out performed the growth stocks, but only in the last 3 months or so has the gap widened. I credit it to 2 specific ones that are getting me 30%-ish yields with stable prices. They are also new etf's, so the hedge money is still strong before the stripping gets to its prices. I mentioned in a post lower that that my little under 30k is netting me 800/month. Honestly it is paying a higher yield than renting out my condo is getting me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago Thanks for this, 30% is crazy to me.
