Beat the Market Forever With One Trade (And Get Paid While Doing It)

This week we’re looking at a major problem with trading: the lack of a monthly income.
Bills don’t take a break but our portfolios do.
We’re trying to find ways around that.
One way is to open a super high yield savings account. We mentioned options like that in the last Newsletter.
Another way is to simply make one trade.
With one trade, we can beat the market and get paid a salary.
Is it too good to be true? Nope.
It’s just the VIG ETF.
What’s VIG? It’s the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF. It specifically focuses on U.S.-based companies that have increased their dividends for the past ten years. Some members of the ETF include MSFT, AAPL, XOM, HD, and several others. It has a very low expense ratio and currently yields 1.87%.
That’s not a ton of free cash, but it’s a lot better than zero.
But here’s the big thing.
We could buy VIG with no trading skills and beat the market. Here’s the comparison between VIG and SPY:
VIG destroys the market’s returns since 1995 (if we re-invest dividends) and beats it whether we re-invest or not.
We could make one trade and do better than every financial advisor in the world.
More importantly, we’d get a paycheck the whole time.
Even better, when our account gets big enough, we could potentially live off dividends without selling shares. Using SPY, we’d have to sell shares to make money and, of course, our shares eventually would go to zero since we have no other way to make money.
Yikes.
If we want our account to grow, get paid, and beat the market, we can get all of that in one place.
Pretty amazing.
In our next Newsletter, we’ll look at what billionaires are buying to create income streams.
Talk to you soon.
