Objective
Recently the company I work for offered, that we can buy Long Term Care Insurance. Interesting idea. So I enquired more. The policy would pay up to 3x the contract value and per month one can pull 4% to cover long term care expenses. If I leave the company, the policy would come with me, and as long as I keep paying the premium, the policy stays active. If I for whatever reason, I can't pay the premium all is lost. This did not sit well with me.
I remembered seeing articles from Steven Fiorillo posting on Seeking Alpha 100$ Week in Dividend Portfolio .
Now there is an idea. I could model a long term care dedicated account based on that idea. And if I can't contribute anymore, the money is still in my account paying dividends.
If I add 25$, 50$, 75$ or 100$ a week does not matter for the concept.
Details
- Generate dividend income from ETF's or stocks
- All dividends must be reinvested
- No MLP's
- Yield goal for the portfolio is 4+%
- Source for inspiration is Steven Fiorillo, Article 100 $ week for dividends
- Other sources of inspiration FerdiS (dividend payers only)
Additional Notes
• Create a cash account with Fidelity (They have fractional shares)
• Max 50 positions for now
• ETFs, Close End Funds fall under the category that they represent
• SPY/XYLD/RYLD go as Other
• Sectors go for the sector they stand for
• Funds will be equally distributed between tickers initially
• ETFs/Close end funds must have less than 1.50% management fee
• div growth stocks can be added and should get 0.5% yield to allow for a positions like MSFT/AAPL/AVGO
Catching Up
When I started this journey in August, Steven was in week 22 of his journey. I moved 3k into the account to have something to work with. Now it is week 26 and I have invested about 21weeks of capital. So I still have some catchup to do.
Exits
- Dividend cuts (dramatic)
