It Pays HUGE Monthly Dividends (But My Equity Is Losing Value)
So many dividend stock investors love these monthly dividend investments (covered call ETFs). My personal experience with XYLD over the last year has been lackluster, and I want to share my results in today's video.

0:00 Introduction
2:47 CHECK OUT MY PPC IAN PATREON (I share my complete dividend stock portfolio on the Corner Tier, with percentage allocation to each position)
4:02 SEGMENT 1: MY PERSONAL PERFORMANCE INVESTING IN XYLD COVERED CALL ETF
4:16 Basic Info: XYLD writes covered calls against the S&P 500. The covered calls are supposed to provide tremendous cash flow. Over very long periods of time, the underlying equity is supposed to hold value.
4:57 My average purchase price for today's analysis is $49.87.
6:47 I am down 11.1% on the XYLD equity! This is a huge fluctuation to the downside, for an investment I look at for intermediate-term cash.
7:27 So far, I have earned 6.56% in monthly ordinary income dividend distributions.
7:40 If this holds up, I'll close my first year with about 8.55% in ordinary income yield.
8:08 IMPORTANT: Roughly, I'm down about 2.51%, projecting out my first year of ownership. (And, it's even worse when taxes are factored in.)
9:44 In April, 2022 I added more money into XYLD at $49.25! This thing still held up at that time, more or less.
10:59 Conclusion: I could have done better in almost all other assets. I'm not sure XYLD is a good investment for me anymore.
11:56 IMPORTANT: What is XYLD? It's an intermediate-term cash alternative. It's an intermediate-term bond of sorts. And, the bond market has had the worst time in decades! (By that comparison, it's not so bad.)
13:05 If I need capital for my favorite dividend stocks, I'll probably sell XYLD for that opportunity.
13:59 I'm better off focusing on the basics (my core dividend stocks).
15:07 KEY POINT: During good times, if I get distracted from core dividend stocks, I know that it's time to just save cash. When I get distracted, it means the market is overvalued.
15:42 The theory is always different than practice. I just have to be careful.
16:50 SEGMENT 2: VOLATILE MARKETS CAN STRESS-TEST AN INCOME-FOCUSED PORTFOLIO
18:35 SEGMENT 3: INVESTOR PSYCHOLOGY - Investors can get carried away with riskier positions during strong, bull markets.
19:51 Bear markets can be a reminder to stay on-course.
20:30 SEGMENT 4: COMPARISON OF XYLD VS. OTHER INVESTMENT COMPARISONS
20:49 US Dollar
21:02 I Bonds
22:02 S&P 500: It's not so bad over the 1-year period
23:30 If current premiums hold up, go-forward dividend distributions are about 10.6%.
24:44 JNJ is up 9.4% over the last year, vastly outperforming everything in this market. This is the value of dividend stock investing.
25:51 SEGMENT 5: KEY TAKEAWAYS
