Emotional Investor
2024-05-17

I'm not sure I want to invest in anything the massive institutions are playing with. I still recall my days in the sandpit at kindergarten. A couple of institutional bullies that would not let you play with the cool big yellow digger. I was just the little retail investor that got to play with the shell, and pretend it was a digger. 

I'm actually not implying that institutional investors are bullies, but they control the market and we tiny retail investors get nothing but crumbs. So I look at stocks that they don't. Obviously I do have a portion of my stocks in the bigs, but it's just $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO)$ And $Vanguard Growth ETF(VUG)$. Let the bigs do what the bigs do, I'm happy with the crumbs from those two etfs. 

I'm more about my foundations, cashflow is king right, so I'm into bdc's and reit's and a few other companies that just smash dividend returns and consistent dividend growth. Like $Main Street Capital(MAIN)$, $Trinity Capital Inc.(TRIN)$, $Gladstone Capital(GLAD)$, $Blue Owl Capital Corporation(OBDC)$ and a few others.

    I think VOO is a great pick too! A great contender to SPY with a lower price point entry and cheaper expense ratio. I may look to have some positions in VOO and VTI in future. For now, I'm trading options and having trades in Crypto related stocks to pump up my cash reserves.

    Awesome that you found quite great dividend yield stocks to make your money work for you! Interesting perspective you have there - to hunt for stocks that are outside the radar of institutional plays. Kudos to your bravery! I'm too timid and would rather ride on the coat tails of big brothers, going along the roller coaster ride with them HAHA. 🎢

    Cheers to whatever perspectives and trading strategies we have! May the tides and tables be forever in our favour! 🍻 🥂🍺🥃🍹

    嘿，我明白你的意思。大型机构可能会觉得自己像操场上的恶霸，霸占了最好的玩具，而散户投资者却得到了残羹剩饭。但听起来你已经为自己制定了一个聪明的策略。VOO和VUG是稳定增长的可靠选择，让大公司来做繁重的工作。


    投入BDC和REITs以获得稳定的现金流？这是明智之举。梅恩、特林、格拉德、OBDC——这些都是股息游戏中的重量级人物。你正在建立一个有可靠回报的坚实基础，这是关键。现金流真的是王道，听起来你有一个旨在保持资金流入的投资组合。继续做对你有用的事情，这些红利会让你留在游戏中。
