robocallWhat can I do with US$10K that is a good investment?
walter_wigglesHigh yield savings account at SoFi or Ally Bank will give you 4% right now.
$10,000 at 4% gives you $400 interest in one year.
Just about any decent dividend stock will outperform that. Look at PET for example. It is sitting at $3.65/share right now and offers a quarterly dividend of $0.30. That puts you at $1.20/share per year. 10k = 2739 shares = $3,286.80 dividend payout in one year.
Banks are the worst place to put investments. Money in bank accounts are only supposed to be there if you need it liquid, like an emergency fund or your checking account.
PET? What stock are you talking about?
PETS, sorry, don’t know why my phone cut off the ‘S’.
I just checked the top 3 companies there and every share price is through the floor lol
TrickDacyIsn’t that the time you want to buy…?
If it was a temporary drop, yes. They’re all being slowly hammered into the ground.
Maybe they’re paying big dividends because the actual share price is worthless, so you lose your initial investment but think you’re getting money back? Dunno, seems shifty as fuck
Baby steps. Asking someone to go from nothing to investing in stocks is quite a leap.
Have you ever heard of the tbill?
Sure. It is still a lower rate than going into dividend stocks.
How much do you personally have invested in stocks like these?
Little under 30k. Bring in about 800 a month.
ex-date chasing
Don’t they call that “stalking”?
Also yes. More work, worth the pay off, do all you can to avoid commissions and fees.
Haha I was making a joke about the terminology but I probably should actually do some reading about the topic
It is also called ‘dividend stripping’.
GrayoxIve thought about doing that with my IRA, has the market negatively impacted your yields at all?
When it is easy bull markets, I go heavy on growth stocks. 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.
Thanks for this, 30% is crazy to me. Which ETFs are these two if you don’t mind me asking?
