Well as you can see it’s a little bit of everything… I have FOMO when it comes to picking stocks & ETFs, but basically I DRIP everything that pays a dividend below 4%, and then I take the dividends from the higher-yielding holdings and reinvest those into the safer, lower-yielding holdings.

The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)
Just loud pieces really... pink ties... bright orange tie with blue paisleys.... but all Purple Label. Perhaps I should have picked up everything and tried reselling on eBay. How does Purple Label do on eBay?- amerikajinda

The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)
Found 9 Purple Label shirts and 9 Purple Label ties at an estate sale!! Had to leave the Purple Label suits and cashmere sport coats and tuxedo (size 56) and left 3 or 4 of the “bolder” Purple Label ties. Evidently this gentleman - who is downsizing - was a General in the Army.- amerikajinda

You never want to put all your eggs in one basket... instead look for companies that have a history of increasing their dividend yield over time as well as a history of paying out a consistent dividend. Sometimes a high yield is indicative of financial trouble or distress at the company... buy...- amerikajinda

Thank you! I just picked up some EPD but in looking at Ares... the price to economic book value ratio doesn't look good and their free cash flow yield is not that good either and most importantly their return on invested capital is really ugly. Economic book value is weak but I'm liking EPD so...- amerikajinda
