AT&T has a 7.17% div yield and is currently trading at a discount. Stock isn't supposed to rebound until Mid-2022 the sale of some of their business units go through.


They are about to cut their dividend though. I got out of the small position I had.

Cutting once they spin off Warner.

I used finviz and found a couple of high dividend stocks that I liked. TX being one. My question is the company is located in Luxembourg. I am assuming that there are additional taxes for foreign companies. Can anyone shed some light in this?

Dump the max allowable into a SPY tracker in your roth and forget about it until you retire.

Preferred stocks of quality big banks that pay a qualified dividend


Most high quality preferreds are selling at par or above.

I kinda figured that, but not every preferred shares are the same. Some aren't callable until a certain date so even at a premium they might still be decent investment just have to figure the YTC. I'm not in the fixed income world anymore so I don't have access to all the goods on info.

Anything helps at a young age. Pump money in the market. Try to save up for a down payment on a piece of real estate. Anything is better than spending all your money at a bar or vacation. When you’ve done this for a few years you’ll learn what you’re good at and make some money.

I struggle why any young investor needs passive income. It’s counter intuitive.

Not really. If you can garner a decent amount of passive income at a young age, it enables you to take higher risks like starting your own full time business.

On the subject of dividend stocks

I like:
utilities (NEE, WM and ETR)
Industrials (Olin, Dow, Dupont and Exxon)
REITS (CIM)
Transportation (ODFL and ATCO)

AND A GOOD INDEX FUND FOR THE DOW 30 or S&P 500 could never hurt. Warren Buffet believes in them based on what he has seen over his lifetime as they are a great long term investment (20 to 40+ Years,) but Michael Burry sees Intermediate negatives of them currently (2 to 4 years)... JUST BE CAUTIOUS of Market Dips and Fundamental Overvaluations.

The passive income I make off of my stocks enables me to put more capital into the market each year, whether I get a raise at work or not.

Not sure how anyone would question why somebody would want passive income?

You can just reinvest dividends. I don’t think you are accurately using the term “passive income”...passive income is intended to be consumed/used for living expenses.

Passive income is intended to be used/consumed for whatever you want.
