My 2016 Portfolio is presented below. The values are after the market's nearly 400 point decline on Friday September 9. Notice that the portfolio still has a capital gain of 4.59%. Total return which includes capital gain plus dividend and covered call income is 7.23%. Dividends and call premiums represent nearly 40% of the total return. Income investing rocks!
I am an income investor: I invest in and write about income from Dividend Stocks, covered call options, and now after a long time, laddered bonds including CD's and treasuries.
