For a thousand dollar purchase is WMT or RYLD the best deal.
Beware paper math isn’t going to be completely accurate when it comes to a stock , divs . Things are going to be different from month to month, Quarterly Semi and annual . It’s a lot of speculation math…
Doing the math say on RYLD . You don’t know the actual monthly div till it pays out or announced , you don’t know what the price/cost when the broker reinvests in the DRIP or the amount of shares they buy till it’s done . , You don’t know what the price of a share will be if you Reinvest the divs . Then with some funds you will have no idea , usually at EOY if they also payout a Capitol Div. On top of the regular div.
To me those are factors that I don’t think about except it’s cash in the bank or growing the investment.
Speculation is exactly what it’s all the time and you can’t change that . That’s why you do your own DD using the best sources available using the company and SEC filings and blocking out the noise of the ANALysts , Social media non investors .. Always verify using factual sources.
Social media sources and other websites are full of non investors that think they are experts . Ask yourself ,,, would the real investors , bigs bother with those sources, NO ! It’s funny to read Social media goonies , they think they can make and manipulate a stock movement. Many are just BS that don’t even own the stocks . One of the best ones is , I’m shorting and I have 200k shares .
Then you always see the lefty make it political BS that has nothing to do with the stocks .. hahahah ! Those sources are Comedy Central .. the only thing I do scrolling through posts on those , beside a laugh are a symbol to check out and do my own DD ..
That’s actually How I heard about QYLD and monthly paying divs. and checking it out has led to a decent div income monthly ! That was on Reditt when the MEME started and curiosity made me look lol . I’m no longer on any of the Social media or any websites relating to stocks . IHUB has a decent tool but the message boards stink same ole same ole BS , Seeking Alfa was and still is a bunch of no expert articles and then there is STOCK TWITS which I was banned for no reason with 99% longs on a stock thread called VRING … They just took out everyone years ago . Cramer and CNBC are a middleman Joke with a following . Cramer is a babbling baboon lol. If you notice most of his recommendations are the highest cost stocks that the retailer can’t buy a lot of lol..He plays with a theme of the Marines battle cry, OORAH ! What a joke especially for a lefty !
