PIMPING STOCKS

How do I know when to sell them? I am interested in making the 10%.

How are both of the above affording such a high dividend? What's the catch? Who wouldn't take 10% return in this market?

Office REITs were crushed to say the least. SLG was owning some high quality product and their revenues suffered, but not nearly as much as the market priced in. since dividend is a correlation to price, the % got pretty high. The underlying assets they own are producing again. They need to do a little catch up as far as payout ratio, but its getting there. When that ratio gets under 80% the price will correct to about a 5% dividend or so.

PFFA is preferred stocks, many of which offer yield of 6%+ (with no capital upside). So now, get a professional like Jay Hatfield picking out the best valued ones and then leveraging them you end up with 8%....then the market sells off (irrationally in the case of most preferreds) driving price below the standard par of $25 and you end up with a 9% yield on a pretty safe and diverse portfolio.

If you are super conservative (as I am) PFFA is a leveraged/managed preferred fund that pays near 9% dividend. Typically you wouldn't expect any upside from capital gains, but its trading below par so there is an upside there as well of at least 10%. Locking into a 9% yield with some upside is never going to hurt you.

I don't visit here often, but I saw the thread from the forums page. The market predicts the economy by 6 months generally speaking. The fed has/is forcing us into a recession to deal with inflation and the massive growth tech sector was sold off as a result. Now however the market is showing signs of resistance to a further drop. A nice lazy easy way to profit during a recovery is to play QQQ (nasdaq etf).

If you like to pick stocks though, SLG is an office REIT with an absurd 7.9% dividend. Its pretty good quality and pays monthly. Offices are finally set to rebound as the work from home idea is fading at many big companies. They are figuring out that they don't get their employees attention when said employee is sitting at home.

NVDA here seems like an ez call as well

At these prices I really don't think anybody will lose money on Apploe or Google either

I dunno where the bottom is but I think shit is gonna get bad. A savvy veteran move would be to dollar cost average it for the next year or so and let the chips fall where they may. 5-10 years out I think you'll make a lot of money on most things.

Yes, very much so. It is a great buy if you plan on holding 10 years. You will probably 10x your money or have nothing left. I am banking on 10x minimum. Brian Anderson is one of the best CEOs in the country.

I like Shopify, Coinbase, Amazon a lot at these price points. Amazon is a steal because it just continues to grow and grow and grow.

Coinbase is such a good buy right now. That PE is dirt cheap. Easy 10x return on 10 year timeline IMO.

You still like COIN ? They have a lot of challenges.

What are yall pondering now ?

It's the right time to find bargains; the trick is getting them right

Costco is a great stock

[Freak Out]

I'm a Costco holder.

Interesting thread:

I should buy more Costco. I love the company, the products they sell, and how they run their business. We shop there every week.
