.... when the market decides to take back the past 8 years of gains
What makes you so confident that will happen?
.... when the market decides to take back the past 8 years of gains
In the past month I've been putting this income portfolio together, right now it's generating $850/mo, looking to add another 2 issues that will get me to $1000 on around a 70k outlay
What makes you so confident that will happen?
I am familiar with a few of those. Yes, the yields are high, but they are very volatile. I am not sure if any of those have been tested in a true bear market. I wouldn't put more than 5 or 6% of my portfolio in total in any of them.Thanks for the ideas! Not a bad little mix for a small portion of your portfolio in high yield

That way if the SHTF you can survive. Otherwise you are really gambling, especially with the market at all time highs. But yes, the yields are compelling, just be careful, you can get burned with these.

Okay. I am not against them. I own one myself. But it is a very small position, so I won't get hurt if things go south.I understand they are high risk, I've done all the due diligence that I know how, most of these issues have been pretty beat up and I was value shopping when I happened onto them.
Okay.Fully Agree, which is why I said "small portion"!

It's not my call, it's Wahoo's.
...when the market decides to take back some of what it has given us over the past 8 years...
