Emotional Investor

I'm not sure I want to invest in anything the massive institutions are playing with. I still recall my days in the sandpit at kindergarten. A couple of institutional bullies that would not let you play with the cool big yellow digger. I was just the little retail investor that got to play with the shell, and pretend it was a digger. 

I'm actually not implying that institutional investors are bullies, but they control the market and we tiny retail investors get nothing but crumbs. So I look at stocks that they don't. Obviously I do have a portion of my stocks in the bigs, but it's just $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO)$ And $Vanguard Growth ETF(VUG)$. Let the bigs do what the bigs do, I'm happy with the crumbs from those two etfs. 

I'm more about my foundations, cashflow is king right, so I'm into bdc's and reit's and a few other companies that just smash dividend returns and consistent dividend growth. Like $Main Street Capital(MAIN)$, $Trinity Capital Inc.(TRIN)$, $Gladstone Capital(GLAD)$, $Blue Owl Capital Corporation(OBDC)$ and a few others.

    我认为VOO也是一个很好的选择！SPDR标普500指数ETF的有力竞争者，价格更低，费用率更低。我将来可能会在VOO和VTI找一些职位。目前，我在交易期权和与加密相关的股票，以增加我的现金储备。

    真棒，你找到了相当大的股息收益率股票，让你的钱为你工作！你的观点很有趣——寻找机构投资范围之外的股票。向你的勇敢致敬！我太胆小了，宁愿骑在大哥的大衣尾巴上，和他们一起坐过山车哈哈。🎢

    为我们的观点和交易策略干杯！愿潮汐和桌子永远对我们有利！🍻·🍺·🍹

    Hey, I get where you're coming from. The big institutions can feel like the bullies on the playground, hogging the best toys while retail investors get the scraps. But it sounds like you've carved out a smart strategy for yourself. VOO and VUG are solid choices for steady growth, letting the big guys do the heavy lifting.


    Diving into BDCs and REITs for that consistent cash flow? That's a savvy move. MAIN, TRIN, GLAD, OBDC—those are some heavy hitters in the dividend game. You're building a strong foundation with reliable returns, and that's key. Cash flow really is king, and it sounds like you've got a portfolio that's designed to keep the money coming in. Keep doing what works for you, and those dividends will keep you in the game.
