Invest in Rolex watches! Is that still a thing or have we moved past that?

I think there always needs to be caveats to this around age.
I'm 37. So for me it's always buy more equities. If I were 77, I'd think a different way perhaps.
But yes. If true chaos ensues, everything is fucked. Stay in the market or buy weapons and canned goods. No middle ground!

I bought a pair of JMMs for $800 and someone was selling on Grailed for $35k. Listing is gone now - unclear if sold. If someone did buy for that, I'd be happy to sell mine if that ballpark!
Rolex was mad, but I do think limited run high quality products can be investments.
But VNO at a 9.5-10% divvy is probably more sensible.

If you want dividends, there's only one person to ask

He has every dividend stock out there.

Don't buy VNO - VNO sucks!
If you want REITs, buy one of these five (all of which I own):
Dynex Capital Inc ($DX) - 13.28% divvy
TPG RE Finance Trust Inc ($TRTX) - 13.50% divvy
Blackstone Mortgage Trust Inc ($BXMT) - 14.01% divvy
Two Harbors Investment Corp ($TWO) - 17.34% divvy
Rithm Capital Corp ($RITM) - 18.63% divvy
If you want to know what else to buy, here are my current holdings and their dividend yield. My average dividend for all these holdings is 5.71% (which is also, coincidentally, the dividend yield of the first stock on my list - 3M!)

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 solid companies at attractive valuations across a broad spectrum of industries and then sit back and watch your money pile in.
