Dividend Growth Is My Antidote To Uncertainty
In an uncertain market, I stick to five core investing principles: stay the course, specialize, diversify, trust proven experts, and keep some cash. Dividend growth investing (DGI) remains my strategy, with a focus on reliable cash flow compounding and growing dividends to eventually replace labor income. I diversify beyond my real estate core by blending passive DGI ETFs and selecting active ETFs with proven outperformance.

Covered call ETFs, such as GPIQ, provide higher yields by writing options, offering immediate income, but capping price appreciation. GPIQ stands out for its dynamic option strategy and Nasdaq-100 exposure, delivering a 10% yield and consistent payouts.
