thank you for sharing real numbers. I like to look at it as a way to push myself! im a teacher and just crossed over 250k over 10 years of sacrificing and investing. I feel good about the next 20 years!
@GenExDividendInvestor, would you mind creating a video directed for NRA comparing CC ETF with other instruments? Where I live, dividend is king (no taxes). I know the US taxes dividends for most foreigners as 30%. I can only afford around US$ 225.00/month for investment in the USA. I believe many foreigners are in the same position. Cheers!!!
Maybe it was mentioned in the video but I wonder what your avg dividend cagr the last year or few years has been without reinvesting dividends. Great vid btw
How much do you lose in NAV Erosion…Thats the million dollar question…
I’m so rock hard off dividends I could just bust pennies 😂😂
In Costa Rica for a week but too sick to leave hotel room for more than a couple hours at a time. Enjoy your health and money now folks you never know when an event will take either from you.
Jepq all day
Thank you for taking your time to share your knowledge and experience …. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Off topic but your voice is so soothing 😂
Great video!
I feel there are many great covered call ETFs especially in Canada! But just like dividend stocks you can’t get greedy with yield. 8-14% yield is the sweet spot. The funds with 20-50% your just asking to get crushed with the share price collapsing.
