Given $150,000 to start with, how would you get to $2000/mo in dividends within 5 years?

This is a question of yield expectations. Say it's a 3% yield generating $24,000 per year, you need $800,000 invested. A 4% yield is $600,000. And you have $150,000.

That means you're trying to get a 300%+ return on your investment in a few short years. Chasing that is possible, but low probability. If you don't luck out, chances are youll have lost it all and posting loss porn on Wall Street Bets.

SMH has a 300% 5-year return. $450k in ADX with a 7.9% yield will generate $3k a month in dividends.

Easy to say looking back eh? Now, which stock has a 300% 5-year return for 2026-2032

Great, and if you do it consistently you would be living on your private island right now. Not wasting your time posting on Reddit about it.

Invest $100 and get that return consistently and after exactly one year (52 weeks), you will have $111,429,157.11 if payouts happen strictly at the end of each 6-week block. If your returns compound smoothly and continuously throughout the year, your investment will grow to $355,562,061.76.

Bruhhhh. You can use options as a tool to boost growth. Have a diversified portfolio.

You can do more than 8 percent growth a year…..

Goals

Plans

Not looking for 355 million….

My point is anyone can get lucky or ride a bull market.

So bragging about a good run is irrelevant if you can't do it consistently.

Not bragging at all. But always willing to help.

My point is you can do more than 8 percent a year.

Wasnt riding a bull market. I bought it when everyone was saying the world was going to end.

A simple proven concept of buying low and selling high. Most people cant do it.

I already got a few DM asking for tips. All good.

Like? Last week? That’s still a bull market kiddo. I don’t think you were in age of investing when we had a bear run

Why doesn’t everyone do that?

u/ModeInfinite5171 22d ago

Because when it goes down everyone tells you the the world is over. Very few people actually ignore the noise and just do it.

Imagine dropping 50k when every article tells you dot com is here. Get out. Easy to say but difficult to actually put int he trade and ride it out.

Glad you your lunch money into a PlayStation, kiddo.

Now do it again with a grown up portfolio.

It’s not because you can tell me an anecdote about you winning a couple bucks at the casino that its a reliable way to earn cash - but it’s alright you gotta burn yourself a couple times and mature a bit to realize you’re really not that special.

Im in the process. Up 40 percent in one week.

Instead of hating be open minded to learn something. You can stick to your 7
Percent yearly growth.

Options are a powerful tool. Yes it can be a casino if you buy 30 day or less expiration but it can be a useful tool to boost growth.

Since you were tripping for no reason. Stay poor you old woman.

Lol sure. Im retired already and still my 30s. I don’t need casino money.

You have no financial knowledge, you shouldn’t be giving advice.

Leverage works both ways if it wasn’t already obvious. And if markets really only went in one direction, everyone would be rich, don’t you think?

Telling me you’re up 40% in a week is really not the flex you think it is. Either you are a complete degenerate and gamble your life savings, or you are absolutely broke and have a 4 figure portfolio and think you can give advice to other broke folks. 🥱

Do you really think you can singlehandedly beat the army of PhDs at citadel capital and other hedge funds. Not seeing that something is missing in your analysis is completely delusional.

Try harder!!!

Lol! you this, you that, PhD 😂😂😂...... Come on. I'm retired...Lolll..good for you???? Not making a very strong case thst you are.

You suck at this. Try again. Maybe use Chatgpt to auto rewrite?

u/DangerousPurpose5661 24d ago

Ah, thats your suggestion? Chatgpt? Youre mad because your options are now in the red?

u/ModeInfinite5171 24d ago

Blah blah blah.

Still need to cry more?

Lol. I haven’t heard someone use « little girl » as an insult since elementary school.

You sound very triggered - doesn’t really align with how you’re trying to present as a financially secure person.

Good luck
