I've been looking to build up my portfolio to have dividend paying assets. Besides AT&T (T) and REITs, what else pays good dividends?

REITs are some of the best.

XOM is looking attractive right now. I'm thinking of getting back into that.

Are you selling options as well? That can really boost your passive income.

Not yet. I got two penny stocks that need to go back up before I can sell them

They might not go back up. Are you sure it isn't best to cut losses?

I usually wait. It works every time

Also, XOM is a good one. It is one of the companies that came out of the Standard Oil Co. Trust Bust

Invest in a company you believe in.

Buy minimum of 100 shares.

Sell slightly OTM calls weekly.

When called away, sell slightly OTM puts.

When put, go back to selling slightly OTM calls.

This is called the wheel.

Easily 30-50% roi.

Study until all of that makes perfect sense.

Depends on the stock. Some of the growth stocks you want to sell calls around 15 delta and not have them called away.

If it's easy 30-50% on investment, why doesn't everyone do it?

[–] • 1 pt

Cause it’s scary. Uses options.

Most people are totally financially illiterate.

Ok. What about all the investment firms and hedge funds. Shouldn't they consistently have 30-50% returns then?

Why do you want dividends? They are forced taxable events that you have no control over. When a dividend ex date occurs the value of the asset adjusts to reflect the dividend. Its not value that just magically appears.

So you can live off it without dwindling your shares. For example, suppose Warren Buffett owns 5% of Apple and he needs money now. Maybe 4% of Apple tomorrow will be worth more than 5% of Apple today, and he could get richer in dollars despite selling, but he's simply not interested because then he would only own 4% of Apple and not 5%. So he takes is $0.20 or $0.80 dividend instead and is happy.

There are dividends in crypto now.

SpiderDAO has reported up to 80% APRs but I don't have any experience with it. The token represents ownership in a DAO (distributed ownership business, basically) that makes routers for gaming and governing the DAO itself.

VX is a smallcap cryptocurrency representing ownership in the ViteX defi exchange that pays 30% APR from fees (per current token price). The main risk is speculative loss on the token or failure of the exchange. I have been collecting this APR and it's legit.

Yeild farming is more popular and has pretty high yields but carries a risk of "impermanent loss" in addition to speculative losses on the token, however yeilds can be higher.

Many cryptos have the ability to stake and earn rewards. DOT pays 14% yet has inflation that eats a lot of this. Other cryptos have higher burn rates that may negate inflation while still paying good rewards.

So these are crypto stocks?

VX is an example of a crypto asset that pays a dividend. It actually pays in portions of BTC, ETH, and USDT since those are the kinds of fees collected on the exchange. Yeild farming is something you do with crypto assets such as BTC or ETH. For example you contribute to a liquidity pool with initially equal values of ETH and BTC and collect trading fees that hopefully offset your loss from facilitating the arbitrage that makes your liquidity efficient for actual traders e.g. Uniswap.

Does TD Ameritrade Support this or will I need to trade on FTX?

Urban Pharmaceuticals pays pretty well. Depending on your risk tolerance, it can pay handsomely.
