💰 Capital Gains vs. Dividend Yield: Which Strategy Spooks You Less? 🎃
In the world of investing, there’s always a debate lurking like a creature in the shadows: Do you chase capital gains or focus on high dividend yield? 📈💸![]()
On one hand, capital gains can feel like riding a rocket
But for others, high dividend yield is the comforting candle in a pumpkin lantern—steady, reliable, and giving you that sweet cash flow to reinvest or spend as you please. Dividends offer a predictable income stream, making this strategy attractive for long-term investors who prefer to sit back and enjoy regular returns.
So which one should you choose?
🧙♂️ Capital Gains: You’re after long-term growth and willing to take on the excitement 🪄(and sometimes terror) of market fluctuations. Stocks like tech and innovation often lead the charge in this strategy. 🦄
🧛♂️ High Dividend Yield: You prefer consistency and value a steady income, especially from sectors like utilities or REITs. While the growth may be slower, you’re rewarded in cash, rain or shine. ![]()
Looking back at my choices this year, I’m mainly focused on Capital Gains with my frequent positions on $Apple (AAPL.US)$, $Tesla (TSLA.US)$, $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ & $Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$ . I’m excited with the market fluctuations, and not that keen with 30% tax on my dividend gains on the US stock market. I do have REITs positions that were added ![]()

Coach Donnie : ETFs (SPLG FTEC etc) Long Term Holds, Short Term Holds
in that order.
does 7-10% a year, my ETFs gotta yield or earn the same or MORE on an annual basis, to be worth my time.
focusing on a quick buck. Hold, and go long.
ETFs and Longs is the retirement and Generational Wealth. NO funny stuff in the ETFs and the Longs. Shorts is for fun and Free Cash Flow… but can occasionally also hit 2x to 10x plus, if it doesn’t go to 0. Hail Mary.
* Only invest LONG TERM in stuff that’s outperforming the market. S&P 500
* IF you have extremely LOW RISK tolerance consider a CD or money market.
* ONLY deal with shorts if you have the means and risk tolerance. Otherwise stick to LONG TERM STOCKS, ETFs & REAL ESTATE FOR CASH.

Long Term
* Short-Term Trading: Day traders often make decisions based on minutes or hours, focusing on short-term price movements.
* Swing Trading: Traders may hold positions for several days or weeks, capitalizing on expected price swings.
* Long-Term Investing: Investors often look at timeframes of months or years, focusing on a company's fundamentals rather than short-term market fluctuations.
