Welcome to Roaming Returns, a podcast about generating a passive income through investing so that you don't have to wait till retirement to live your passions.
We've been talking about which stocks are good and how much they pay per share. Our profits have been in terms of percents and yields, but our whole strategy is about getting paid monthly dividends. So today we want to show you how much income our portfolio made last month on just $97,000.
We decided to break this episode into two parts because it got a little long. We just couldn't leave out the important tidbits that'll help you make investment decisions. So today you'll see just how much each stock we hold paid out in August.
The next episode will cover our ETF income. And yes, that's going to include the yield max. For those of you that it's easier to see stuff on like in real time as opposed to hearing it, we actually are going to put a link to the actual spreadsheet that we talk all this through in the show notes.
What's up, peeps? And peepettes. She looks like she just did a pound of cocaine because she did. I'm sanding the ceiling.
Drywall sucks. If you recall last week, we said we're going to do August dividends for our van life portfolio. I was initially going to do both the van life and the retirement portfolio, but that it's pretty much a lot.
So we're going to split them into two. Like this week, we're going to do the van life one. The next week we'll do the retirement portfolio.
Yeah, we don't blow your heads up, but it's interesting stuff. So what exactly did you do here? I this for the year, the month. This is for August.
Dividends collected August. See, I'm a little high on my pointer. Dividends collected August.
See here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you know how eights always screw my head up with months.
And currently we have every almost everything just reinvesting until we get on the road. Once we're on the road, then I'm going to tinker with the drips here and there to actually generate cash flow for us spending while maintaining a portfolio that's actually compounding as well. So that's going to be a I was kind of surprised when he said that the other day.
He said, I have the drip on basically everything. It's going to be a tricky, tricky science. Okay, without further ado, I broke it down by like it's an alphabetic order.
So that is super nice. And the yield is this column here. You see the yield.
And then I have a buy up to point in case you're if you're wanting to buy any of the stuff that we're in. And the current price as of I believe it was Wednesday. I didn't I did this like a couple days early.
So it doesn't include the last when Thursday when went up. So if this price is higher than this price, that means no buy it because that's what the bullet means. That means you're overpaying for it.
Even if even if the yields 14%, that's still not worth that right there is like damn near 10% or 7%. So you're you're you're overpaying 7% for a 14% yield, which is not smart. The first one is one that we talk about all the time.
ABR. I love ABR. A lot of people don't like ABR.
There's a lot of people that talk shit on ABR, but you know, whatever. So be it. It yields up to a 12.8 anywhere that that can fluctuate between 10% and about 14% depending on where it's priced, where it's where it's price is at.
So currently at 12.8, it's about right where it should be. That's why you see the buy up to point is 14 and the current price is $13.52. We've collected we collected 100 almost $157 in August off of that. And then the drips, like I said, we leave the drip on.
So like when when we collect this dividend, it just reinvested our 11.5 shares. So that's super awesome. And if you want to scroll over further, you can see for the past quarter, we've because the quarter is three months, so whatever.
But like here's what she was referring to. We've collected 481 total in 2024 thus far with 36 shares and added into our account. So ABR is a pretty good, pretty good income producer.
But at the same time, it's a really good one that you can get a lot of shares really quickly because we we've we're probably up 60 or 70 shares just in two years of owning ABR. And if it's 14, you know, 14, 12, 13, 14% per share that adds up really quickly. So this one I would leave drip on even if it goes beyond the $14.
If you're in it and it goes above 14, I would still leave the drip on because you're compounding so many shares. That's the beauty of those lower price stocks. And now, like if you if you subscribe to the email, I do mention like when I turn the drip on and off certain things.
Second one is AFCG. They it's a it's a REIT that deals in marijuana. Yay.
Oh, we have another. I didn't realize that was another one. This one's not near as good as IIPR, but it does yield a lot.
18.57%. That's a lot. We haven't we didn't collect anything in August from that. I think we think we get a dividend in September from that.
I was going to say, is that one of the quarterly ones? I imagine we got one or three in the last quarter and we got 277.19 for the last year. But again, you can see that these these compound really quickly. Whenever you get these high yielders with a nine, 10, 11, 12 dollar range stock, you get you compound a lot of shares really quickly.
That's why when I focus on like my top 10 for the week and only when we when we discuss stuff, I really like the ones that are in that sweet spot between like 750 and less than 20, because you you get a high yield for them, but you also get compounding really quick. The next one that we collected money on is a monthly pair. It's a mortgage REIT.
It yields 14%. Mortgage REITs get a lot of bad rap. People are nervous about them because of the fluctuating interest rates and defaults and all that stuff.
I've never even considered that when investing in this. I just liked where it was. We got this at like a lot less than this and it's currently overvalued.
So this is the one I was just saying, like you're you're overpaying 7% for a 14% yield unless you really think mortgage REITs are going to take off when they start lowering the interest rates. I would hold off on this. That's what the bold means.
Bold means it says. So you're saying you don't think that? I would think, wait, maybe not. Maybe not buy it.
Maybe wait and see. And if it if it, you know, like when it reestablishes, when it does the chart stuff, it'll actually hit a point and it'll reestablish a new base to get the buy up to point that actually I had to do a lot of chart like surfing and overbought, oversold and all this other nonsense that I don't normally do because when I normally buy a dividend stock, I'm like, is it undervalued? Yes. Okay.
How much is it undervalued? Okay. How much is a yield? So even if I missed the buy in point, but for purposes of our listeners and audience, I wanted them to have the best possible entry point. So that's what this this was.
This took me for freaking ever to come up with. You're welcome. We collected $35.83 in August, which is only $3, 3.5 shares.
So, yeah. Oh, so this is a higher priced one. But we get it's a monthly one.
So we like if you put it in a quarterly context, it actually yields us more money than AGNC. Interesting. And it gets us a comparable share accumulation.
If you go even further, see like it's just a little bit below AGNC. And I think it's actually a little bit more secure than AGNC. So like if you were going to pick between these two, I would choose this one right now because of the price thing, but like if you like if we go into a correction, I would totally put money in both of them. So you would you would buy AFCG? I'd buy AFCG right now, because AGNC is overpriced. Because it's not overpriced value.
And it actually yields more, but I would like look at both of them. That's me. Well, obviously, it's in our freaking portfolio.
Okay, the next one is our favorite, like one of the ones we actually sat on a flash thing on because people were panicking there and they were, oh my god, the world, end of the world is coming. That was ARLP. If you subscribe to the email, you got an email saying just ignore the noise and buy the dip.
I really like this one. It yields 12% and I do believe it is coal. I want to say coal.
Yeah, I think it's coal. This is one of those possibly. Well, it's like taboo.
Taboo, like it's not. It's dirty energy. It's a dirty stock.
This one does fluctuate a little bit. It has a high degree of volatility. So you might want to not put a lot into it to begin with until you start seeing results.
But it's fairly undervalued, like $1 undervalued. So we got $84.50 in August, which got us 3.6 additional shares, which was super awesome. So $23 a share is not too terrible.
And year to date, we're rocking with $246 around there with 11 additional shares. This one really does what it's supposed to do. It's a stock that's almost like a utility stock, but at the same time, it doesn't act like utility stock.
It's way more volatile than a utility stock. So that one, for real, I would totally get into ARLP. Maybe wait for a dip.
It's a good buy right now at $23. But if it falls below $23, totally pick it up. And that's why I was saying, buy the dip, whatever, when it did its crazy shit.
What did it go down to? It was like $16, $17. That was on her. If you listened to us and bought that, you're sitting pretty.
And it's almost a cyclical type stock because it is cold. During the colder months, it's actually going to generate more revenue. So that means the second quarter, the quarter that's from March through June, is going to have super high revenue because that actually takes into account the winter months where people are using coal.
So just remember that. It's not like an electric utility where people use electricity all year. It's coal.
And it's like natural gas. There are certain points when they're used more than others. This one, I truly believe in this stock.
That's why we're in it. It only yields 2.9%, but that will totally go up once they stop buying every fucking RV dealership in America. The buy-up 2 points, 25.75%. If it repeats where it was prior to its buying spree, it was generating a lot of revenue and had really good profit margins.
It was actually yielding like 10% at that point. If it goes back up to that, this stock was going to be worth $40 to $50. So you can actually get some sweet price appreciation while they start raising their dividend again.
It hasn't yielded a crap for this year. We got $10 last quarter. They went from a dividend payer to a growth stock.
We only accumulated one share this year. But when they bring the dividend back, this thing's going to be juicy. So that one, I would not put that in my portfolio unless you're really trying to do contrarian investing.
EPR, if you recall, we discussed this as one of these REITs that is a different one. It's one where they invest in movie theaters and arcades. They have ski resorts.
It's called an entertainment REIT, which there's not very many entertainment REITs out there. It almost has a moat in itself because it just invests in everything that all the other REITs kind of ignore. It yields 7% and it is a monthly payer.
If you're living on a fixed income and you need to generate cash every month, it's one of those monthly payers. Buy up to is $50. Currently, it's at $47, $48.
I don't know what it currently is at. This is as of Wednesday. So there's still some more time to get in before.
My buy up to point, actually, I forgot to mention that at the top. This is not where I think it will cap out. I don't think it's going to cap out at $50 and then go down.
This is where my buy up to point is where I think you can get 15% to 20% appreciation. If you go to AT&T, you could totally buy it at $10.24. I do believe it will probably go up into the $12 to $13 range in this next bull market. So you're actually going to get price appreciation.
But to get what I think you should be doing, I wouldn't overpay for it at the current metrics and everything. Because that will cover your ass, basically, if the erratic investor people make stuff go all wonky volatility-wise. So we get $20 a month from EPR.
And we don't really have a lot sunk into it. Well, obviously not. Maybe $2,000.
It gives us almost half a share every month. But you see here, here's the last quarter. Yeah, because it's a $50 stock, $56.
So we got $57 the last quarter, which is a $1.3. And so far this year, we're at $134. So it's not as good as those other ones. They're yielding 18%.
But this is a better REIT than those other ones. So I like it. And they do have a preferred share if you don't really want to invest directly into the EPR stock.
They actually have an EPR preferred share that's like $23. So it's a little bit undervalued. That yields about 6%.
Here's things that you like that we discuss. Most of the stuff that we bring up actually has preferred shares. If you type up, I don't know, AGNC, preferred.
If you recall the preferred share. I'm pretty sure if you just Google that, it'll pop up. If you recall the preferred share, how that works is the preferred shares get their dividends before the people that own the stock.
So if there's ever financial problems, preferred shares get paid before common stockholders. So that's just a layer of security that you're most likely going to get your dividend. Almost every one of the preferreds have a thing that's called cumulative.
That means if they skip a quarter of dividends because they're in a dire financial crisis, that you will get your dividends the following quarter. So you get a double dip. Yeah.
So preferreds are awesome. I think if you're super sensitive to risk and you're worried about things, you should always invest in preferreds more than the actual common stock. They don't make as much usually, right? They don't yield as much generally.
They're not as liquid as the common stock, but they're still pretty liquid. Or you could just buy into a closeted fund that only deals with preferred shares. There's a couple of them that I was looking at this last month that have preferred shares.
That sounds interesting. Here we're on column nine now. That's EQNR.
It's a European oil company that yields 13%, which is unheard of for oil companies generally. Screw the American one. It's pretty volatile.
Well, that's expected. It obviously is affected by the price of oil directly. If you get some midstream refineries and stuff, they're not really affected by the price of oil.
Or you get an oil royalty company, the price of oil doesn't matter. But if you buy a straight oil company, obviously if the cost of a barrel of oil is $70, and it goes down to $60, we're going to see a revenue decline. This one, we got it at $26, and it's been anywhere between $23 and $30.
So I just put $25.50 just to whatever that seemed to be what the chart was indicating. We collected $42.70 in August, and that got us one share. The problem being with this one in particular, you'll encounter this a couple times whenever you have stocks in your portfolio.
It actually doesn't reinvest. You can't put DRIP on. You literally have to manually go in and say, okay, I got $43 in dividends from this one, so I went and bought one share.
Which, as you can see, when you have to do it manually, you get whole numbers of shares, versus you can see when the DRIP happens, you get partials. I thought that was kind of interesting. This is a relatively new one to our portfolio.
We just got this three months ago. I really like it. I like the exposure to oil that's in Europe, as opposed to just America.
That's why whenever they talk about diversification of your portfolio, a lot of times they'll have emerging markets, and they'll have European markets, and they'll have the Asian markets. That's a layer of diversification that most people actually don't do within their portfolio. But it's super important, because generally, when there's an American recession, there's going to be a recession in most of the world, if not all of the world.
You can find deals in these markets where you can get stuff that yields a lot, that's a really well-run company that no one knows about, because they only focus on the S&P 500. Pretty cool. Our next one, we haven't got a dividend.
I don't think we got a dividend on this one yet. FSK? Oh, we did. We got one.
We got one dividend. FSK is Fisker Capital. It's a BDC that we picked up this year.
I think it was in, I want to say May. I really like how it's ran. It is currently $20, and it's overvalued.
You'd have to wait on this one. We just talked about this one in the other podcast. It's really well-ran.
We got $80 the first quarter we had it. $87.50 total. That $87.50, $80 was a dividend.
The $750 was a special dividend. For whatever reason, Schwab doesn't generally reinvest special dividends with the drip investing. You have to go in manually if you get a big enough special dividend and buy the share.
If you don't make enough, you can't buy a full share. You can't buy for extra shares. You can only do that when it's dripping.
That added four extra shares. That's pretty sweet. That's a really good BDC.
Really, really good. Why does it keep doing that? I don't know. It doesn't like you.
Now we're going to circle this one. This one here, we talked about so many times. If you're new to the channel, you've probably never heard of it.
If you've listened to us before, we should just be running returns endorsed by HTGC or whatever they say. Sponsored. Sponsored.
One of the things that she brought up when we went for a walk last week is if we ever encounter Hercules Capital, we're actually going to stop and actually just talk to them and see if they'll talk to us. I've invested in your company so much. It yields 10% currently.
That yields generally between 8% and 11%. The fact that it's yielding 10% shows you that it's undervalued right now. It reported earnings a month ago, and it went down a lot because of some nonsense that had nothing to do with revenue or debt or anything like that, so just people overreacted.
It's a perfect time to buy in if you can. We got it at $12, so we're pretty much stuck in this until the end of time. We got $159 in our last dividend for the quarter, which got us seven additional shares of Hercules.
In three quarters, through our three dividends, we've collected $470 with 14 shares. When Frankie and Alex at F&A, I talked to them about their portfolio, I told her to turn the drip off of this one. In her mom's retirement account, I turned the drip off because it was trading at $23, so there was a quarter there where it just went into cash because 23 is too much for it.
That's what I'm saying. Whenever we turn the drip off, there's a reason for it. It had a pullback after that too, didn't it? It did.
A lot of times, the reason people use drip is because they don't have to worry about turning the drip on and off. They'll accumulate shares when the price is low and they'll accumulate shares when the price is high so it evens out. I found if you actually pay attention, you can omit that top part where you're putting cash into it when it's overvalued.
You can save the cash and put it into something else or you can literally save it until it has a dip and you can buy it at a better price and get more shares. In this one, generally, we use the cash for other things that are on sale but you could totally just say if you got $470 and it was overvalued, you could keep the $470 and when it went through a rough spell, you could buy $470 worth of Hercules and get a shit ton of shares. If you don't have the time to do that, leaving the drip on in general is probably a good idea.
But if you want to expedite growing your portfolio in a faster time frame, then doing these little extra things that he talks about will definitely help you grow more exponential. Okay, and the next one is the problem child. Yeah, we have discussions on IEP on a regular basis.
We got this at $50. So we've written this down like a lot. But we've actually left the drip on the entire time so we're accumulating ridiculous amounts of shares in this.
So if it ever turns around, we're probably going to make 100% of our money even if it doesn't ever get back to $50. We can say if it's up to $40, we'll probably still get 100% of our money. We've accumulated that many shares of this company.
Currently yields about 40%. It's ridiculous. Is this not a monthly dividend pair? It's a quarterly.
We get our dividend in September. We'll get it next week. It's currently at $10.48. Literally any publication that you research or you use for research or that you read, they say the market value is severely undervalued.
I've seen anywhere between $25 and like 60% undervalued just based on their revenue and what they've got going on. Which is why the yield is so freaking high. That 37.9%? That's kind of cray cray.
We made $314 in the last quarter when we got this which got us 20 shares. That's the biggest one we've seen so far. The two dividends for 2024 so far, we've got $611 with almost 37 shares.
This is what I'm saying. We'll probably get almost 100 shares of this this year just by holding the drip on. Now, should we tell them do you recommend buying IEP right now? I do not.
Here's the thing. We were talking about this. This is one of those stocks that's in a weird category.
We've gone back and forth about getting rid of it or keeping it. They've done some management change stuff. I don't really know exactly how to interpret what they're doing because it seriously could go one way or the other.
It's one of those things where I think because we've been in it so long I have a sneaky suspicion if we sell now it literally will be at the bottom. We've had it for three years. This is one of our longest.
It might be our longest that we've been in. I don't know. That typically happens to us where if we finally do ride them down the whole way you sell at bottom which is you never want to do that.
We're just going to ride this and see what the hell happens. The company is still good. There's a couple things that aren't quite.
They really probably would be better off. Carl Icahn has 86% of his shares. Whenever they're like they have so many shares out there you have to think if they have 500 million shares he owns 87% of them.
There's actually only 120 million shares out there. Yeah, but at the same time too if they would just part of the problem is that they keep doing share dilutions and maintaining the dividend and instead of cutting the dividend to try to get their finances squared away in a shorter period of time they're extending the problem. If they cut the dividend I would say it's a buy.
Because they get the crap together and then it actually would get back on track a lot faster and it would go back up. But as of right now whatever the heck they're doing that's why I said it's kind of like a sketchy management decision. I don't know if they're in the process of training somebody to replace Carl or what the hell is going on.
I don't know. That one's not a buy unless you have a stomach that's going to go down before it goes up type shit. Or if you like gambling because I don't know when that one's going to turn around.
But if you're new into this this would not be the one that I would pick. If they cut the dividend this thing's going to shoot up to $20 or $30. You get a lot of price appreciation after the initial oh my god they cut the dividend and people panic selling.
But if they don't cut the dividend and they keep this 40% which is completely unsustainable they're just treading water going sideways which is fine for me because I'm collecting $1,200 a year that are being reinvested. So that one, don't buy. The next one is total buy.
KRP is awesome. It's a small cap oil, the one really small, it's almost like a micro cap small oil company. It yields 12% and the $16.50 is actually low like the buy up to point could be $20 but compared to the $15, $13 then I'd use the 200 day moving average and the 50 day moving average and the chart and all this other crap.
You could literally buy this up to $20 and be fine. I think this one should be probably between $27.50 and $30 a share if everything is equal. Wow, we got $61 in dividends.
Yeah, we got $61 in August which got us 3.84 additional shares and we've made $191.82 in this one so far in 2024 with almost 12 additional shares. So this one just slowly keeps plodding along. I like it.
Which is what you kind of want. Now the next one is one that I've again, we've beat the table on this one numerous times. It doesn't have the highest yield but that's not the point of this.
This one here is one of the better I think it's technically a BDC Well, what else would it be? I don't know but a lot of people kind of lump it in with mortgage stuff and other stuff. It's a BDC. Mainstreet Capital only yields 6% but it does pay monthly.
The problem with I think it's overvalued right now. It should be like $47 to $48 range. It's currently almost $50.
We got this at like $38 but I only put like I think $1,200 into it and I was like I should be in this. And before I knew it it just took off and I couldn't justify putting more money into it because it was like holy crap. We're only getting like $11 of dividends a month.
And .22 new shares. But it adds up. It's like through August we have $107 and almost two additional shares.
So if we hold on to this one which I've been preaching, this is one of those ones like if you have a portfolio, this is one that you should just keep forever. I hate to say forever but until they've run it. Until something changes.
But it's really awesome. The next one is I'm pretty sure we've addressed this one previously is Altria MO. Cigarettes.
Cancer. Death. Sin.
Sin stock. That's the sin stock. It currently yields 7.6 which is super like that's ridiculous for a I think it's a aristocrat.
It might be coming up on a king status. It's pretty close to either dividend king. I would imagine so.
I do believe this one's severely overvalued. This isn't even slightly overvalued. It's currently at 54 and I think anything above 52 is kind of pushing it unless some things change like in their next earnings report which comes out I think in October I believe.
So that number might actually this one, this 51.75 might actually go up based on their fundamentals and their revenue and debt and everything that they report in their next earnings report. Cool, cool. Again, this is one we only have I think $2,000 in so we're only getting $37-ish per quarter.
So is this one a quarterly too? Yeah, we got $61 in two dividends for the year which got us 1.35 shares. You're starting to see if you have a portfolio and you just keep monitoring it but you don't buy or sell and you just keep it going, how this stuff will add up through the years. So you're starting to see if you hold on to this, this 1.35 next year will be like 1.75 through August.
It doesn't yield the most but problem child number two actually had really good news this week so... Yeah, it did. This one finally might turn around. If you like us have held this or you bought this because I said to buy it and you're like the fucking guy doesn't know what he's talking about he ruined my whole financial life.
Hopefully you didn't sell it because stuff's about to change. It's yielding 6.5 percent but their number one tenant, Stuart, declared bankruptcy and that caused the price to plummet from like the teens like it was like $12 or $13 down to like $4 like penny stock status. Yeah, that is borderline.
They basically are selling they've rearranged everything so Stuart's not even part of the picture so for the remainder of 2024 they have new owners taking over Stuart's hospital that Stuart actually had and wasn't paying their rent on so they're not charging them rent from I guess September through August and they're going to start collecting rent so like everything is about to become better in that regard like this one here is going to probably be $20 or $25 by the end of 2026. I'm not saying that. I'm saying that probably like I would definitely if I was going to make a prediction this one will be definitely worth of between $12 and $15 by the end of 2026 so if you bought it at $5 you're going to be 1x and maybe 2x and that said we've collected $52 which got us 13 additional shares.
This is another one because we're down so far I just said fuck it, leave the drip on, see what happens. So we've and for the year we've got 152 with 37 shares like we're collecting shares left and right of this company so like whenever they get their shit turned around we're going to be like up 200-300% in this one. This is one of the ones like this one an icon.
I'm really curious to see what happens with these because if we did ride it down as far as we did and we just let those compound with the drip on like that might be an amazing strategy for getting into companies that were really good companies that just went through like a bad situation and then figured out and turned it around that might be the biggest gainers in the long run, right? Yeah. So I'm really curious to see what the hell. From our stock perspective.
Yeah, from our portfolio's perspective. Okay, the next one is our alternative energy NEP. It's basically wind and solar.
This is one that we I told you like I believe it was like October of last year or September of last year that you should get this one. It's undervalued. It's still undervalued.
It went up to like 30 some almost $40 and it shot back down because people are like, oh my God, alternative energy is stupid. So it went down a lot. So it's still severely undervalued.
We got $81 in it, which got us three shares. We didn't put a lot into this. It's like $2,500 maybe.
We've made $234 for the year with eight additional shares in this one. Again, this one its parent company is NEE. If you're not familiar with utilities, NEE is like the largest electrical utility in Florida.
So it's worth like billions upon billions upon billions of dollars. So NEP is never going bankrupt. That's why like when people start panicking and they're like, oh, they're not going to be able to sustain their 15% dividend.
It's like, well, dude, you really think the parent company is going to let this falter? The parent company broke, like it broke apart. It's electrical company and it's alternative energy company and they kept NEE as electrical and they created NEP as the alternative. Well, you know, from a business standpoint, that makes a lot of sense too because I think it would make the bookkeeping easier to see what's actually profiting, what's not profiting and, you know, trimming that.
And the Democrats are most likely going to win something in November. So the alternative energy is not going anywhere. At this current time, it looks like they're going to win the White House because we don't get into politics on this, but I would start preparing for a Democratic White House.
Which means alternative energy is actually going to probably boom. Yeah, EVs and alternative energy will be back on the table. Okay.
Next one is our preferred share that's worth $100, but it's currently only trading at $37, so it's 62% under value. I put 45 because in the current context of how it's been performing the last two years, it generally vacillates between $32 and $52. So 45 will get you a pretty good undervalue appreciation.
If it goes up, if it bounces up to 52 and you're like, I've had enough of this, I'm not, I want any more of this. I've had enough of this. So this one's a quarterly, I assume? A quarterly, yeah.
And we don't actually accumulate any shares. Schwab doesn't do the drip, and I'm okay with that because it's so undervalued that we got, I want to say, $35 or $4,000 worth. We have to have a lot of shares if it's paying $244.
So it gives us all this cash. So we've made almost $500 in two dividends so far, so this is another one that's going to pay us about $1,000 for the year that we've actually dumped into some of these other ones that we just discussed. So that's why, like, when I get down to the ETFs, I'll discuss why I have things set up the way I have them set up, because we just take the cash and we dump them into these other ones that are better, that are undervalued.
Really good, again, preferred the whole order of precedence, like you get your dividends before anyone else. You get paid. This one here is one I actually just read an article on that someone finally said, hey, Trinity Capital is a really good company.
We've had this for a damn year and a half, almost two years. That means the winds may be changing. Trinity Capital deals 15%.
That's going to come down. It's going to be about 12% to 13%. It currently is under 14%.
It should be about 17%. So if you get in at $14.50, you're getting a good appreciation to the $17, $18 range. We get our dividend, I believe, next month.
I think we get that in October. In the last quarter, we got 165, which is 11.5 additional shares. That's pretty sweet.
And for the year, we've got 486, which is 22 shares. This is another one where you're just... I've been raking them in, hand over fist. This is one where I've actually sold the profits to bring our money invested down and I've actually turned it... Is this the one we sold multiple times? I've sold it multiple times.
I've turned the drip off and on multiple times and this one just keeps making us money. I don't know why this one's so much more money-making than the other ones. I don't know.
I can't complain. Hercules Capital, we're up 100% in. But this one here, we've made so much money in that I've just been trying my best to pay it off.
I think we have 20 more shares to sell at some point. I imagine if they started talking about it, then more people are going to start talking about it, which should inflate the price up. Pretty soon, this is going to be one of those ones where I actually have no money invested.
I've actually taken out my initial investment, so it's all just capital after that. All gravy. Gravy.
Here is our fertilizer one, UAN. This one is volatile as a motherfucker. If you want a stock that's not low beta, don't buy this.
And this one is not low beta. It yields anywhere between 10% and 40%, depending on what management does. Currently, right now, it's 10.5%, but I know that's going to go up soon.
It's a little more pricey. $66 per share, but like I said, it's been vacillating between $62 and $102. This thing is all over the place.
If you get it under $75, just hold on for the rollercoaster ride that is owning this stock. Last quarter, we got in August, we got $96.48, which got us 1.3 shares. So far for the year, we've got $273, which was almost four shares.
It pays out really well. It's just a matter of you're going to be in the red for weeks at a time, and then all of a sudden, you're in the green by $1,200, $1,300. You're like, what just happened? And then you're back in the red.
This thing's all over the place. So it's fun. I appreciate it.
It doesn't really matter if you're just getting paid. Right. Now that was all of our stocks.
Now the rest of these are ETFs. So that's it for the episode today. We're going to continue with the ETF breakdown in the next episode.
Those are going to be some insane payouts you won't want to miss. See you there.
