Red Pill Relationships in a Green Candle World Most investors fall in love too easily. They’re wooed by fast growth, seduced by headlines, and ghosted when the momentum fades. Me? I date stocks the way I navigate life: with standards. I don’t commit to companies unless they give back—regularly, reliably, and preferably with compounding affection.
Welcome to my portfolio. Here, love comes with a yield.
Rule #1: No Dividends, No Dates Growth stocks might flirt with moonshots, but if they’re not paying dividends, it’s just a fling. I want stocks that text back—with cash. You want to be in my portfolio? You better show up with monthly or quarterly receipts. Think AGNC, PSEC, or OMAHA. They bring the flowers and pay the bills.
Rule #2: DRIP = Long-Term Relationship Energy Dividend Reinvestment Plans are like relationship counseling. They keep things growing, even in slow seasons. It’s not just about the cash flow—it’s the trust, the compounding, the idea that we’re building something together. Stocks that let me reinvest are the type I’ll introduce to my Roth IRA.
Rule #3: I Don’t Do Toxic Volatility LU and KC? Fun dates. Spicy. Exotic. Great stories, probably drive a fast car. But I’m not moving in. These short-term trades are like intense summer romances—I’ll enjoy the ride, take profits, and wish them the best. But when it’s time to build a life? I’m going with the quiet earners, the slow burns.
Conclusion: Income is the Love Language In the end, investing isn’t about infatuation. It’s about peace of mind. Freedom. Quiet mornings where your money works while you sip coffee and write blog posts like this. That’s why I stay loyal to dividend-paying partners. They don’t just promise—they pay.
