Everyone is fighting over chasing high yield right now like JEPI or JEPQ vs playing the long game with dividend growth like MSFT and LOW. One gives you a check today while the other builds a monster for tomorrow.
Looking at my YoC trends it is crazy how a 1% starting yield turns into a beast after a decade of raises. I get the appeal of immediate cash flow but the compounding on growth is hard to ignore.
To the OGs who have been in the game for 10 plus years at what point did you stop focusing on growth and start pivoting to high income? Or would you focus on growth even more if you started today?
Let us settle this. High yield or dividend growth?
