  • Building A 6% Income Portfolio For 2013 (Part 7): Technology [View article]
    Stu - with all due respect..."6% with virtually no risk" doesn't exist...

    There is certainly risk...you may just be overlooking it. "Junk bonds" are yielding less than that right now...

  • Building A 6% Income Portfolio For 2013 (Part 7): Technology [View article]
    Hi Sean - Our 6% income target for our Model DIY Dividend Portfolio includes both dividend income and option income (from conservative option strategies like cash-secured puts and covered calls). We believe that it is much safer to supplement a stable, high-quality dividend portfolio with additional option income than it is to go out the risk curve in search of higher yielding stocks.

    That said, we do own some high-yield stocks (with yields over 6%) in our portfolio, but we limit our high yield concentration to 20% of our overall portfolio.

    Our weighted average target annual dividend yield for the portfolio is 4.0% and our target option income yield is 2.0%...which gets us to our total annual income target of 6.0%.

    We discussed this investment plan in more detail in Part 1 of the series:

    Well said, outcastsearcher! The rising tide has lifted all dividend stock boats since 2009...but that is not reality. There is definitely a reason why certain stocks carry a higher yield, and that risk will eventually rear its ugly head.

    Our 6% income target for our Model DIY Dividend Portfolio includes both dividend income and option income (from conservative option strategies like cash-secured puts and covered calls). We believe that it is much safer to supplement a stable, high-quality dividend portfolio with additional option income than it is to go out the risk curve in search of higher yielding stocks.

    That said, we do own some high-yield stocks (with yields over 6%) in our portfolio, but we limit our high yield concentration to 20% of our overall portfolio.
