📈 Just started a position in Realty Income (O)

I’ve been working on bringing more stability and passive income into my portfolio, especially because a big part of it is still exposed to volatile assets like crypto and high-growth stocks.

I chose Realty Income because it has one of the most consistent dividend track records in the market. It’s a REIT with a simple and solid business model: it owns commercial properties leased to well-known, financially stable companies like Walgreens and 7-Eleven. What really stood out to me is that it pays dividends monthly — which fits perfectly with my long-term plan to build regular income streams.

This isn’t a stock I expect to skyrocket, but that’s not the goal. I see it as a long-term, reliable anchor in the portfolio — something that quietly does its job while I take more risk in other areas. Let’s see how it plays out.

You should just bought the SP500. The index is outperforming this stock

@TechNav I actually do hold the S&P 500 as well — it's a solid core for long-term growth. But as they say, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Diversifying into dividend payers like Realty helps me balance risk, generate monthly income, and build a more resilient portfolio overall.

@lucasssilva then have a dividend etf because reality is underperforming everything. You loosing money with them.

@TechNav I get your point — dividend stocks, especially REITs like Realty, have underperformed recently due to rising interest rates. But I’m not chasing short-term performance.

I invest in them for monthly income, stability, and as a complement to growth positions. Not every stock in my portfolio is meant to beat the S&P year after year — they each play a different role. And that's the whole idea behind diversification.

I'm also not relying on a single ETF or sector to build long-term wealth. I'm building a strategy I can stick with — even in different market cycles.

I was thinking same. Invest in $JEGP $O and $MAIN to generate in monthly income or only $JEGP. Haven’t decided yet.
Btw in my case this is not all eggs in one basket. Only these three are considered for the monthly income.

@fizzelfritz That’s a solid lineup — $O and $MAIN have been core parts of my income strategy too. I looked into $JEPG as well, still on the fence but it’s definitely appealing for the yield and covered call structure.

Love how you put it — not all eggs in one basket, just the ones designed to lay dividends monthly 😂

Let me know what you end up picking! Always good to hear how others approach the income side.

@lucasssilva will do. I am shifting and streamlining my portfolio (slowly because I will wait for a good timing to sell and buy)
