$NEP

LOOK 👀

has no dividends

this shows dividends income, this is not true as is today 5/15/2025

$NEP

$NEP how come price of this stock here is not same as what is shown in Yahoo Finance or SeekingAlpha?

Let‘s see how much they like to cut rates! Could really help this one

$NEP : A controversial Buy (Maybe)

Here are my thoughts from the recent earnings call:

Growth: NEP expects 6-8% annual growth through 2027.

Cash Flow: Operating cash flow should match or exceed EPS growth.

Dividends: ~10% annual dividend growth through 2026.

With imminent rate cuts, lower borrowing costs could boost NEP’s profitability even more and help them to stabalize. NEP with still solid growth, strong cash flow, and rising dividends make it an interesting buy in my opinion.

MinƎ first purchase; hopefully can continue to add more to this position soon; you know before it takes off 🤑🤑

Woke up to this Trans

😱😊

I’m happy with it!!

What do you think? what should I invest in?

$NEP
$CHCT (+0.39%)
$CWH (+2.53%)
$CAH (-2.81%)
$LUV (+0.58%)

$NEP Yes? or No? Why?

Dear fellow investors,

This month I will reach another milestone in my investment journey, breaking 800$ in monthly dividend payments for the very first time. I couldn't be more excited....

Wooohooo 💲💲💲

This is due to receiving payouts for the following assets:

641 x $SCHD

281 x $O (+0.29%)

311 x $JEPI

211 x $JEPQ

179 x $SPLG

89 x $MAIN (-0.86%) (two payouts this month!)

137 x $EFC (+1.2%)

67 x $EPR (-1.71%)

67 x $SPYI

13 x $QQQI

Looking ahead, it seems like September might be my first 1k$ dividend month 🤪🤪🤪.

Fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞

For those among you who follow my story, know that I just started (again) in Dec 2023 and already had to upgrade my goals to 150k$ invested and average dividends of >500$/month. Both goals are within reach and very likely to be achieved before 2024 comes to an end.

I am very happy with sticking to the plan (DCA-ing into a selected few ETFs and stocks) in hopes for #fire (Financial Independence Retire Early).🔥🔥🔥

I am planning on making some adjustments to the portfolio over the next couple of weeks and months and hopefully later this summer I will share my whole portfolio with more information about my investment strategy as well as the (as of recent) popular Sankey diagram of monthly money flow here on getquin for scrutiny and further constructive feedback. So stay tunes for that.

The list of updated key take-aways are as follows:

1. Select your ETFs and stick with them

- Core:

$SPLG (alternatives are $SPY (-0.16%) and $VOO (-0.17%) ), chosen because of slightly lower expense ratio and lower prices (hope for more inflow), trading volume is not a concern as this was bought for the looooong "buy and hold"

- Dividend 💸:

$SCHD (alternatives are $VIG (+0.24%) and $VYM (+0.31%) ), chosen because seemed undervalued at the time of purchase, great dividend and decent dividend growth

- Growth 📈:

Still not chosen, open to suggestions

I maintain that it will probably be $QQQM (alternatives are $VGT (-0.51%) , $SCHG , $SPGP , $DGRW , $VUG (-0.55%) )

- REITs 🏠:

Not yet chosen, as here I am not even sure any longer if I actually want to invest in REIT ETFs or not just keep my exposure to the few REITS I already own ($O (+0.29%) , $VICI (-0.43%) , $MAIN (-0.86%) , $EPR (-1.71%) , $EPRT (+0.39%) ...)

If I decide to venture into this field, it will probably be $SCHH (alternatives are $XLRE and $VNQ (+0.3%) )

- Misc 🗠:

$O (+0.29%) The Monthly Dividend Stock

$JEPI / $JEPQ for monthly dividends in the covered call space

$SPYI / $QQQI to potentially replace $JEPI and $JEPQ

$VICI (-0.43%) / $MAIN (-0.86%) for additional monthly dividends in the REIT / finance space

I might also entertain the idea of investing in some individual stocks like $AMZN (-1.27%) . $NVDA (-0.83%) , $MSFT (-0.05%) , but that will depend on the constitution of the growth ETF I will buy.

2. Learn 🎓

Educate yourself and don't simply "trust" Youtubers. Read investment books (e.g. 'The Intelligent Investor' by Ben Graham, 'The Little Book Of Common Sense Investing' by John C. Bogle, 'Patient Capital' by Victoria Ivashina and Josh Lerner) and listen to many different voices in the investment arena. Be curious, but cautious... If it says: "100% win rate guaranteed!", it's probably best to stay away from it.

3. Don't try to time the market ⌚️

As one youtuber says: "Time in the market beats timing the market." I am sure we are all guilty of trying to buy at the best price on a particular day/week... If you are in for the long haul, it doesn't matter. DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) for the win. 🏆

4. ETF over stock picking

Of course you can have huge winners if you pick individual stocks and if you have some insights that allow you to buy before the hype, great, I am very happy for you. Who wouldn't want to have invested in $KO (+0.56%) , $TSLA (-2.05%) , $AMZN (-1.27%) , $GOOG (-0.47%) or $NVDA (-0.83%) in their early days?! But that doesn't happen very often. If you invest in solid ETFs covering a wide array of markets, you will do just fine (especially with a long investment horizon). I have certainly tried to "pick' some stocks that looked promising for their upward potential, but only two have given me solid returns ($NEP and $CFLT (-1.27%) ), whereas so far there are many losers (e.g. $IONQ (+5.49%) , $OTLK , $SACH , $EPR (-1.71%) ).

That being said, I am not against holding individual stocks and I am sure that the likes of $NVDA (-0.83%) , $MSFT (-0.05%) , and $AMZN (-1.27%) will continue to deliver amazing returns, but these are also top of the list in weighted S&P500 or Nasdaq ETFs... ($SPLG , $VOO (-0.17%) or $QQQM , $SPGP etc.). Just saying!😉

5. Tailored investing

We are all different and our your time horizon, risk appetite, age, income and other factors most likely vary massively. My life, 47yo, being single without kids, being in a somewhat safe and well-paid job, having paid off properties that generate a decent income stream, wanting to retire in 3-5 years and not needing much is very different to someone who just starts their investment career and/or have a family or are already retired or or or.

Make a plan of what you want the investment to do for you and work towards it. In my case, I want to achieve #fire (Financial Independence Retire Early) as soon as possible, being able to live off dividends entirely. I recon I will need about 50k/ year (lots of safety built in). So building a strong dividend portfolio is my main goal. Sprinkle in some growth opportunities and we have a party. 🥳

Let me know what your goals are and how you plan to achieve those. Also if you have some input on which other ETFs and/or stocks to pick, I am all ears 👂👂.

I decided to sell out of this position. $NEP was good to me (ROI > 28%) and 12% dividends was solid as well. I just don't trust their recent rally as well as keeping the dividend payments coming when the payout ratio is more than 110%.

Reinvested the money right away in my cornerstone ETFs $SPLG and $SCHD as well as some $O (+0.29%) and $JEPQ .

We shall see if this was the right decision...
