These two are geared more towards older people who need monthly income and not really concerned about any growth. Unless you are 70, avoid these two.

I buy these when I buy BITO so safe sounds good with BITO being a lot of risk

I have rentals, dividends, and side jobs to supplement my main job. I do have my growth stocks, and dividend stocks. Right now I have them all reinvesting to build up a nice monthly income on 10 years

Is JEPQ high risk? Would love to add some but seems to good to be true. I’m assuming very little capital appreciation if not depreciation over time? Also it’s only showing 9.3% yield currently. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Negative. Any investment involves risk. But "high risk," nah, JPM is solid, and tends to avoid those.

JEPI is supposed to have more downward risk protection, but I haven't studied it. I am looking at both JEPI and JEPQ at the moment, but my income funds are mostly in SVOL at the moment.

Right, I have a decent position in JEPI. It's a solid fund.

I’m steady up 14% on jepq and in my 40’s, don’t know anyone that would pass that up. I too have mix growth and income. Im pretty aggressive but I’m going to keep adding to this one as long as the dividend stays high

It's not a negative statement. These are tools. If you don't reinvest, you will lose principal with these type funds.

growth stocks are great. I got in big on BAC when bank crisis hit. I am in on Microsoft, Nvidia, IBM, google, got MO at low 40's, panw, avgo, and axe when they were low 100's, and more. I do growth stocks and dividend. Right now Im buying CVX a bunch while it's low. Actually from the looks of it this will be the last week I buy it based on its current performance. I understand buy low and hold. But I also love my dividends. Right now my dividends is close to 1k a month. My goal is for that to be 5k a month before I retire and then have a bunch of growth stocks built up. Time is on my side and on paper my only stock I am currently down on is BITO but when I count the dividends Ive reinvested from that stock I am mountains ahead in that. I am also currently beating the S+P 500 for the year. I believe in diversifying and having different revenues of income

first you do not lose unless you sell

second mine stay within a certain range a little up then a little down. pretty steady from where i bought in.

third people who are investing for income fully expect some fluctuations

4th you absolutely can reinvest especially if you are in a dip to get more shares cheaper and bring principal back up. i do this at times.

These funds make limited sense to me. In the case of JEPQ and JEPI, you’d have been better just owning the underlying index and selling shares each month for income.

Maybe they make sense from a psychological standpoint, but not from a mathematical standpoint.

I'm in JEPQ in my brokerage account. It's my only real dividend play in that account.

My IRA has VEIPX and PRBLX as my main dividend funds. All have done well.

I'm in my 40's pretty aggressive in both accounts, but a tad more conservative in the Roth, ie more dividend funds.

VOO and VUG are my biggest holdings in both accounts
