#313~ The Dividend King Faking Its Own Raises (opens the original)
Read excerpt
👉 Seeking Alpha's Quant Growth & Income — special price of $449/yr: DISCOUNT LINK Sponsored by Seeking Alpha. Opinions are mine. Some companies hand shareholders extra shares every year instead of raising the cash dividend, and it looks like free money. It isn't. In this video, I break down what a stock dividend actually is, why your broker records it as a stock split, and why selling those bonus shares to create a higher "yield" is really just a withdrawal from your own account. We look at w
#312~ 2 Dividend Stocks Down Big (I Think It's Temporary) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
👉 Seeking Alpha's Quant Growth & Income — special price of $449/yr: DISCOUNT LINK Sponsored by Seeking Alpha. Opinions are mine. Pool Corp (POOL) is down 44% from its high, and Hershey (HSY) is near a 52-week low — and both raised their dividends while the stock fell. POOL yields 2.76%, and HSY yields 3.06%. In this video, I walk through Simply Safe Dividends on both: dividend safety, valuation, growth, and returns on capital. I explain why I think both dips are temporary, and why I have no idea
#311~ Why This Millionaire Quit Buying Big Dividends. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Shaun | @ParlayBros is back on the channel three years later, and he's stopped adding to the high-dividend payers that built his income — including Altria, still his largest position- and he's doing something most dividend investors would never do on purpose: he's selling his high-yield dividend stocks and moving that money into low-yield ETFs and compounders. He calls it his bonsai tree approach — pruning the portfolio so it grows the shape he actually wants instead of just paying him the most
#310~ I Tested 69 Covered Call ETFs. Only 4 Passed. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I tested 69 covered call and options-income ETFs against the assets they're built on — every fund from its own inception date through August 7, 2026, total return with all distributions reinvested. Only 4 beat their benchmark, and every one of those four had a flat or falling underlying, used leverage, or wasn't actually a covered call fund. Not one beat its benchmark by writing calls on an asset that was going up. This video explains why covered call ETFs like GOOY, QYLD, JEPI, TSLY, SPYI, and
#309~ 5 Dividend Stocks: 4% Yield, Safe, and Cheap! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I used the Simply Safe Dividends stock screener to find dividend stocks with yields of 4% or higher, safe dividends, low valuations, and strong returns on capital. Five companies made the cut: Watsco (WSO), Paychex (PAYX), Amdocs (DOX), PepsiCo (PEP), and T. Rowe Price (TROW). For each one, I explain in plain English why the stock is down, what the business actually does, and what I would want to see before buying it. I also show why a high dividend yield is not free money — yield rises when the
