Why I Chose High Yield Investing Over Dividend Growth
For those who don’t know I started investing in 2018 at XX years old with a dream of the fire lifestyle. When 2020 rolled around I discovered option selling and realized there is a better path to freedom than, “withdraw until you die”. I’ll never forget selling my first puts on AMD on my break at work and clearing more than my paycheck at the time. Quickly I was all in leaving behind the Reits, dividend growth stocks, and $QYLDs of the world.
Option selling became my first love but at the tail end of 2022 came $TSLY. I was skeptical at first yet intrigued. I figured I’d rather sell my own options on $TSLL. Once $FEPI launched seeing the index approach I decided to devote an account solely to income investing.
As track records build and total returns mounted I knew these were here to stay. Quickly the high yield ETF space became one of innovation and new funds with new strategies came out the pipeline.
High yield investing gives you something that dividend growth won’t for decades. High cash flow early. What this does is give you options.
If you’re receiving $XXX dividends every X months what is your choice? You basically have to just drip and wait. If you’re pulling in 2-3k a month now you have true options such as….
Reinvest and grow shares monthly
Use cash flow to buy growth rapidly
Extra cash to sell your own options
Start or build up new income positions
Stack BTC (GOATED)
Buy leaps options on great companies
Sit on cash for opportunities
Deploy margin responsibly knowing you can pay it down fast if need be
With dividend growth you won’t have options like this for a decade. And if dividend growth is your end game this can funnel it to compound in a way your W-2 could never.
Most of all your freedom number doesn’t have to be millions of dollars if you understand how to cash flow. I have growth and option selling portfolios ,but this one I share quickly became my favorite. Get your dividend snowball rolling fast up front. This will give you options on how to move going forward.
