Dividend Investing Destroyed By Taxes? (Unrealized Capital Gains)
Taxation of unrealized capital gains, increased taxes on qualified dividends, and higher corporate taxes are all being proposed by Vice President Harris. Today, I want to explore how my dividend stock investing strategy could completely change should these proposals come to fruition.

This man is loaded. Never talks about absolute numbers from his wealth. Just percentages.
this is what I'm reading from other sources: "Tax long-term capital gains and qualified dividends at 28 percent (as opposed to 39.6 percent as in the Biden budget) for taxable income above $1 million and tax unrealized capital gains at death above a $5 million exemption ($10 million for joint filers)". does that mean unrealized gains is only for the deceased and doesn't apply to living? and the proposed long term capital gains tax only for income above 1 Million?
As always, a great analysis. Newcomers often wonder if it's too late to navigate the financial market, but the market is always unpredictable. Trading has more advantages than simply holding, so it's important to learn before diving in. Active trades are necessary to ride the market's waves. Thanks to Aaron Addison’s insights, daily trade signals, and my dedication to learning, I've been increasing my daily earnings. Kudos to the journey ahead
I love the long videos 🎉
Thanks for making this video. I invest in a target date fund (to match) in 401k, additional growth and international in Roth (plan to sell closer to retirement for dividends) and dividend portfolio in brokerage. People on Reddit are like “why you no 100% in growth so you can MOON?”
What are your thoughts on the stock omf ?
Hey Ian, thank you for the great content, I know you are adding Schd…. Have you looked into schh….. it’s a etf of reits…. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work.
Very nice, I’m a pit supervisor right next door with the company. Have fun Ian
Trump gave tax breaks to the top 15% of the wealthy population and people want cry about what MIGHT happen with a different candidate? 🤣
Thank you for your informative videos as always!. Ian is only have SCHD do you think i should add DGRO? I have 15 years time horizon. Thank you.
Canadian side, we are being tax at higher rate but there are strategies, like non-tax account and Retirement account -- it is a strategies change and adaptation to their new ways.
Thug life Ian: Invests in O, shows up at property to check on his investment 😎 Love it!
My portfolio doesn’t just cater to dividend stocks. I hold $VFIAX (S&P 500 index fund) in my Roth IRA and $VTI (Total Stock Market ETF) in my taxable brokerage account. Two of my largest holdings. The individual dividend stock positions all complement the index holdings.
Thats when you hire someone to manage your money. You need a (CFP) straight up! personally, I would invest in ETF's and also love investing in individual stocks.
I took charge of my portfolio but faced losses in 2022. Realizing the need for a change, I sought advice from a fiduciary advisor. Through restructuring and diversification with dividend stocks, ETFs, Mutual funds, and REITs, my $1.2M portfolio surged, yielding an annualized gain of 28%.
Your advisor must be really good, how I can get in touch with them as my porfolio isn't doing well.
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Aileen Gertrude Tippy” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Thanks a lot for this suggestion. I needed this myself, I looked her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
Smh. I hate politicians. Trying to solve problems where problems dont exist.
O for life . 😊❤
Love the Bellagio!! Enjoy your stay.
Thanks so much! (Disc: I’m long O)
Ian, when you look at your portfolio by sector, do you consider REITs as “real state” or, when possible, the industry related (for O “consumer services”)?
I look at it as a real estate company, but you are right that their portfolio skews toward consumer-facing properties. (Disc: I’m long O)
When you go for more chips, tell them you own the place. “Mr Lopuch’s credit is good”
SCHD has a beautiful looking longterm chart Ian 😁. Great Move 👍
Vici also owns Las Vegas commercial real estate?
They sure do! I’m not a shareholder in VICI, though. I’m excited about Realty Income’s investment in Bellagio as it truly is an iconic asset. (Disc: I’m long O)

Thanks for checking in on ‘our’ property and posting too. When our son was born, I opened a custodial account at Computershare and started investing an “allowance” in it regularly on his behalf as soon as I had his brand new SSN. It’s 12 years and a month since then and we continue to reinvest the dividends. O was my best idea in 2012 and I have the utmost faith I’m doing the right things for him. He does get a ‘supplemental’ allowance now, so he can figure out the value of a dollar. He’s doing pretty well and asks questions - and I love it! Anyway, just wanted to spell this all out. I think I’ll copy this to a note, with this URL to see what inspired me to comment. Happy travels Ian.
Thank you so much for sharing! I love this!!! I've been in Realty Income (O) myself since 2013! It really was a pleasure checking in on this investment. This place is packed and the property is as beautiful as ever (have visited a bunch of times over the years/decades). I'm impressed how well they care for the property and the customers. Most of all, I love hearing about you teaching your son the amazing value of dividend/REIT investing. So cool! You are a great parent!!! I'm doing to the same with my kids, although not (yet) in O (they are in some other dividend stocks). Thanks for taking the time to share this! Wishing you all the greatest.
@@ppcian Please don’t get me wrong, the same time I opened his account, I started our joint account too. I’ve been investing twice monthly as the plan allows and hope to illustrate to him that it’s more effective if you can add additional investments and invest as often as the opportunity presents itself while adjusting along the way.
Nice to see this. My largest non etf position. Bought like hell for two years and my price is down to 48. Got in while everyone was scared
Right on! Yes, I bought too when everyone was scared! Increased my position by 50%+ at that time. So glad I did, it's now one of my larger positions. (Disc: I'm long O)
xylg and qylg replaced my RYLD and QYLD holdings it provides growth with 6% yields
Wow! That's frightening.
Very interesting video, Ian. But yeah, given how many politicians have loads of money wrapped up in the stock market, good luck with that. It's all talk about pandering to a voting block that won't go anywhere once she's in because, thankfully, we do not elect a king (or queen), and Congress would have to approve this.
Great points, my friend! Those checks and balances are key!
@@ppcianYou bet and I should have said *if* she gets in…😅
The Income Factory, an invitation for portfolio implosion. I greatly enjoy Steven’s interviews. The name of the strategy is catchy, and a concept like this is what many of us conservative investors think would be the “Holy Grail” of long-term investing. We want to sleep well at night. We want a reasonable return with lower volatility so we can stay in investments for decades. If one thinks there will never be a major bear market then all will be fine, but we know better, at least we should. I hate to throw cold water on the concept, but I have taken a look at his closed-end fund list during the last major decline and it's not pretty. I hoped that the high income generated from these kinds of issues would greatly smooth out the total return of a basket of high income closed-end funds. Unfortunately, due to the unique structure of the closed end fund, the holders of most of these funds have been treated to drawdowns well in excess of the S&P during the 2007 - 2009 bear market period. So, if there is never a deep bear market, future downturns limited to say 10 - 20% corrections, then the strategy will work without too much pain going forward. In the “big bear” market scenario, if one sticks with it they must ignore a wipeout, secure in the hope that over some years in the future they will get financially whole, then do well. For an older retired person, this is less than an ideal way to spend their golden years. His issue list has done very well in recent years with the fantastic rally, the “everything bubble” with smooth price action as all asset classes have attracted money flows. We know this will not last forever. Steven’s analytical period solely includes this bubble period, making these look better than they historically are in more difficult market environments. You want high income, but with this you get high volatility due to their structure. Closed-end funds are more volatile than ETF’s and/or mutual funds of the same type. Bought at the correct time, that is, after a big decline, one can have great returns in the recovery in closed-end funds. Bought at very extended markets like we have now, much pain will be doled out in a future collapse. One would have to believe in the soft-landing scenario, not the crushing declines ahead like Hunt, Pomboy, Williams, Rubino, Hanke, Pento, Green, DeMartino Booth, Henrich, Oakley, Hussman, Shedlock, Rosenberg, and many others. If you are not familiar with these analysts, go to Thoughtful Money on RUclips and listen to these interviews. These folks are very smart with long successful careers in market analysis. I’ll go with them. Rough markets are ahead at some point, and in major bear markets closed end funds are crushed. Steven Bavaria was a credit risk analyst in his career and looks at the situation from a credit risk angle. Negative price volatility is not his thing. He glosses over that situation. I am a price action guy. One has to be able to stay with a strategy, and the only way to do so is to understand what kind of drawdown will be experienced in a protracted major bear market and decide if defensive measures should be taken before that occurs. It’s all very difficult. The answer is “there is no answer” which comfortably provides the investor with a strategy devoid of negative psychological stress. I have used software since 1995 called Investor’s Fasttrack. It can create custom daily rebalanced indexes of funds, stocks from custom lists and has momentum analysis features, relative strength, etc. It’s very helpful in looking at the total return of closed-end funds, as one can set it to look at total return with reinvested dividends and a line chart of the overall list as an index against something like SPY. It’s not a perfect representation of a buy and hold version of the individual issues, but some rebalancing protocol must be used, and daily is what they went with. All information is provided by the software and is assumed accurate. I do not guarantee accuracy but believe the information to be correct. When I worked with the list, I decided to post this to all RUclips interview sites interviewing Steve, given the gushingly positive posts on the subject in RUclips commentary. One could say that the adoption of such a strategy now is kind of a “Pied Piper” reality, lulling the late adopters into complacency. So, in looking at his list, any investor blindly going with this program in this greatly extended market, an "everything bubble", will have to know that in severe declines, losses in most of these issues are SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER THAN THE S&P. We know that a major crash is likely in the near future so is this a good time to invest for the long term with these, hoping that the income will smooth out risk? Well, no! With closed end income funds, one gets downside volatility in excess of the stock market, with underperformance to the upside at times. Interestingly the initial rebound off of a major bear market can be stunning, well in excess of the S&P, despite the asset class having various non-stock portfolio structures. Its money flows into and out of these which drives the volatility of CEF’s up and down, and after a great crash, short covering, then massive inflows make these soar upward. Without this understanding of price action, in a protracted bear market one will open their statements during a major decline like the 2007-2009 period and find a horror show of losses in their high-income closed end funds. Seeing this, many will blow out of those issues at some point when they hit their max pain level. The income generated from these CEF’s did nothing to help that total return during that event. The index performance below includes reinvested dividends. I loaded Bavaria's 31 issue list from his book into Investors Fasttrack software and here is the daily rebalanced custom index drawdown of the 18 issues which existed at that time. There were 7 waves down, with rallies after 6 attempts at a bottom. Any purchases during those rally attempts of CEF’s resulted in losses after each peak. I will only show the drawdowns in each wave down. The first 4 waves were not disastrous, though more than the S&P. Investor confidence was not broken. the 5th, 6th and 7th waves were another story. SPY versus Bavaria 18 CEF Index list Peak to trough declines. 1st wave down, 05/01/2007 - 08/15/2007 SPY -8.07% Bavaria 18 Index -18.31% 2nd wave down, 10/112007 - 11/20/2007 SPY - 6.96% Bavaria 18 Index -9.33% 3rd wave down, 01/30/2008 - 03/17 SPY -4.90% Bavaria 18 Index -11.98% 4th wave down, 05/20/2008 - 07/15/2008 SPY -14.30% Bavaria 18 Index -15.16% Market implosion period. 5th wave down, 08/22/2008 - 10/09/2008 SPY -29.65% Bavaria 18 Index -43.59% 6th wave down, 10/04/2008 - 11/21/2008 SPY -20.80% Bavaria 18 Index -33.91% 7th wave down, 02/06/2009 - 03/09/2009 SPY -21.69 Bavaria 18 Index -31.88% Let’s look at the issues in the Bavaria 18 list peak to momentum bottom. Returns include reinvested dividends. 06/01/2007 -11/21/2008 SPY -46.84% NCZ -78.62% JPC -73.92% CSQ -66.77% AVJ - 65.36% CIF -64.59% CHI -64.35% DSU -63.84% HYB - 62.72% JRO -61.39% CHY -59.20% EFR -58.70% HPS -57.98% FOF -57.51% HYT -56.64% DHF -55.20% CIK - 49.89% ERC -44.79% MCI -40.29% Note that only two of these issues lost less than SPY’s - 46.84%. The volatility of CEF’s is driven by the fixed number of shares, the propensity for these to be aggressively dumped by shocked retail investors at psychologically significant technical failures, as well as aggressive short sellers who specialize in short selling these issues during declines. These players knowing the downside momentum of these issues make that a very profitable idea when they get the timing right. Now let’s look at the rally. I will simply go with the indexes for this one. Rally to 1st price peak. 03/09/2009 - 05/03/2010 SPY +81.56% Bavaria 18 Index + 161.64% FANTASTIC! Final Points: THESE NEED TO BE BOUGHT AFTER A CRASH, NOT AT MARKET PEAKS LIKE NOW! AS ONE CAN SEE, DETERMINING THE ACTUAL BOTTOM IS VERY DIFFICULT. 6 BOTTOM FAILURES BEFORE THE REAL ONE. THESE ISSUES DO RECOVER STRONGLY IN THE SUBSEQUENT MARKET RECOVERY, HOWEVER, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT PSYCHOLOGICALLY TO BUY AFTER ONE SEES THE INTENSITY OF SUCH A MARKET DECLINE, ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE BEEN WHIPSAWED TRYING TO PICK THE BOTTOM ALONG THE WAY DOWN. AFTER THE REAL BOTTOM IS WHEN ONE SHOULD BE INTERESTED IN INVESTING IN THEM, NOT NOW! IN A MARKET COLLAPSE SCENARIO, THEY ARE A TRADE AT THE REAL BOTTOM WHICH THEN CAN TURN INTO A LONGER-TERM HOLD WITH A SIGNIFICANT CUSHION IF PURCHASED WELL. AS SHOWN, ONE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT MASSIVE DRAWDOWN WILL OCCUR IN A CRASH, SO IF YOU ARE HOLDING THESE ISSUES NOW THINKING YOU ARE “SAFE” WITH HIGH DIVIDEND INCOME, YOU ARE NOT AND WILL LIKELY SELL THESE IN SHOCK AFTER BONE CRUSHING LOSSES AT OR NEAR THE LOWS IN A MAJOR BEAR MARKET! Best of luck! JMS
Great points, Ian. Thanks for calling this nonsense out.
Sold. Bought for like 150.
