TIME IS RUNNING OUT! Lock in your EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT PRICE for Thoughtful Money's online conference on March 16, 2024 at thoughtfulmoney.com/conference
I want to thank you and your guests. I learn less and less with each episode. Please read on! That is high praise I promise! My financial education has improved so much since I started this journey early in 2020. Many previously vital sources of knowledge I no longer need to refer to - they taught me what I needed. There is always more to learn - but it is less and less and fewer and further between. Adam, a big part of that has been your work and your guests' contributions. Thank you for aggregating all this knowledge, asking the questions we want to ask (even when we have not thought of them yet!).
Well said adam. There's only two things that really matter in life and that's whether you're sick or whether you're well because if your sick nothing else matters.
Imo, this has been one of the best Wealthion/Thoughtful Money episodes ever. The more theoretical episodes (which is most of them) are really good, but it's hard to beat this one for being actionable. Building an "income factory" has been the backbone of my investment strategy, but I didn't know it was known by that term. This discussion has given me some ways to further refine this strategy and given me some specific promising securities to look into that I didn't already own. Thanks so much!
I found this to be one of the worst interviews. Investing in CEFs is a bad idea - that is based on empirical historical performance. If you think I am unduly maligning the “Income Factory” proposition of creating one’s own pension, gather up the tickers of your favorite CEFs, BDCs, MLPs, etc. Then go to portfolio visualizer and punch in those tickers. Recommend using AGG, VWINX and FRIFX as benchmark comparisons. -- And oh, since Bavaria is advocating using these income products as “pensions”, make sure to select “no” on the “Dividend Reinvest” choice… After all, the point of a “pension” is to have spending money. In virtually all cases that I see the “Income factory” type securities have inferior CAGRs to more conventional income-focused OEFs (VWINX, FRIFX) and even AGG. The lower returns might be tolerable IF they behaved with less volatility. But no, the “Income Factory” type investments are typically 50%-100% more volatile (analyzing standard deviation & drawdowns) than the conventional OEFs. Generally, you would have done better NOT buying these Income Factory type securities, and instead just buy VWINX. The numbers are what they are. OTOH trading CEFs might make sense (for a small part of one’s portfolio). By that, I mean buying “falling knives” when pessimism is severe. That condition does not exist in Feb 2024. Then selling the CEFs if they (hopefully) recover in price. Listen carefully to what Bavaria says - and do the OPPOSITE!
I became interested in closed end funds in 2016 and fully adopted this approach in 2017. At the time of my retirement in December 2019, I had refined my approach to selecting funds and allocating investments across 30 to 35 funds. In the past 2 years I have added BDCs. CAGR is 10.25% in the four years. During this period, I road out the dips in March 2020, October 2022 and most recently the drawdown in October 2023. The annual dividend returns have been in the range of 8% to 9% for this four year period. I'll never go back to investing for appreciation in price and will remain focused on income and compounding returns. Yes, I sleep well at night.
I just stopped your program and went to Amazon and bought the book and the audio book as well. Been listening to your podcast for a very short time, and I love it. This program may just be what I have been looking for. I was the person who was making. 05% on my money in a savings account. To conservative. I like boring like 7% on my money. Thank you for this discussion. I am almost 70 years old. But not to old to learn. Thank you my friend. Be Blessed 🙌
Sir, if you've only managed half a percent on a savings account these recent years may I respectfully suggest you don't make your next decision on anything like a whim. Of course "you" are likely not a real case giving us a true account of an authentic situation. It may resemble many, but not genuine. What is it we're being thoughtful about here? False realities?
I initially adopted this strategy after 2009 for a portion of my retirement portfolio to offset zero interest rates. I mostly use closed-end funds. It’s a long term process. Own a variety of fund types as they will have different discount / premium cycles and dynamics. Make sure to buy extra shares on broad market dips (see March 2020). That discount is a gift that keeps giving. I occasionally sell some of a fund when it reaches a large premium to NAV and buy more of a fund trading at a discount. In the aggregate, I make decent capital gains in addition to the generous dividends. For me it’s been a fun long-term investment project.
Are there any tax implications that cause headaches at tax time? I've heard some of these funds issue ROC which requires you to adjust your tax basis? Doesn't it start to get hard to figure out especially if you are trading shares based on NAV?
Best interview ever as I just retired and adopted a similar strategy a few years ago.. The thing you need to do is just readjust your thinking and as the man says as long as they keep paying the dividend that was the plan all along and even when the positions drop the money keeps rolling in and you are accomplishing what you want and your investments will eventually come around if they don't actually go out of business.. Getting more info to us that are retiring is great... Thanks a lot.. ..
Absolutely great interview with Steven Barvaria! What a clear, concise, and very helpful articulation of a topic that I don't hear enough about as a pre-retiree with 4 years to go. Please have him back on the show, and thank you for everything you do to educate investors!
One of your best interviews ..this gentleman is not selling anything other than his knowledge to help other people ,very refreshing, but no surprise considering your new platform. Thank you!
Biggest lesson i learnt in 2023 in the stock market is that nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and low a strategy with a long term edge.
Nobody knows anything; You need to create your own process, manage risk, and stick to the plan, through thick or thin, While also continuously learning from mistakes and improving.
Uncertainty... it took me 5 years to stop trying to predict what bout to happen in market based on charts studying, cause you never know. not having a mentor cost me 5 years of pain I learn to go we’re the market is wanting to go and keep it simple with discipline.
“NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE’’ is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
Refreshing to see an optimistic topic that’s not all doom and gloom. An investment approach I would never have considered. Great interview as usual Adam
I would love to have him back SPECIFICALLY to speak about his thoughts around fund expenses/fees and taxes, which would be my biggest areas of concern to address for this type of strategy.
Closed end funds and REITs have been the backbone of my portfolio. We are all investing in the markets for income one day. Create your own pension with growth. It is a winning strategy even though you have to consider taxes on dividends especially if you are still working a job. Thanks to buying more and more shares like a nutcase during the COVID crash an the interest rate shock to the markets, I am able to enjoy life today.
Do these funds cause any headaches at tax time? I've heard some of these funds issue ROC which requires you to constantly adjust your cost basis? Sounds like it could be a big headteache?
This is my style. During the 2022 downturn my portfolio went down on paper. However I was constantly receiving a 10% income stream. My balance has now recovered and still receiving the income.
Read his book 6 months ago and loved it. A combo of Bdc’, Reits, and a few select Cefs and you can average 8-9% dividends and just drip them and watch portfolio grow. Thanks for the inspiring video.
This was a FANTASTIC interview! Thanks to both Adam & Steven. I've been investing in exactly this same manner with great success and enjoyment. I'm now a subscriber to this channel.
Good video. Would be great to have him on again and do an actual income factory for different levels of capital accumulation, or by age. That would be awesome.
Yep so true most of the companies I have bought stock in over the years have gone bankrupt sooner or later. And that's usually the fate of every business in the longterm anyway. I will never buy an individual stock again. I lost almost everything in 2022. Even my blue chips are still down 50-70% since that crash with no sign of recovering
Thanks for a great show…I fell into a similar strategy when I transitioned to retirement a few years ago and as I developed my own approach I found Steve Bavaria one of very few people discussing this philosophy. I’m very happy with the results of this approach for myself. Most investment commentators don’t give high-income focused approaches much credence but I’ve considered the many criticisms I’ve heard of this approach and based on my experiences it actually works fine and much less stress than growth oriented investing. I compare my high income portfolio to a traditional 60/40 and find its performance over time providing higher total return and lower risk (as standard deviation) than a standard 60/40.
Finally somebody with the balls to say it how it is, opportunity cost, and building a stream of income to add to the pile is the reason people invest. Tired of listening to people talk about hypothetical technology and growth portfolios.
I’m Canadian - and I’ve utilized your method for a few years now - my tools consist of high yield bank stocks plus - high yield ETF (cover calls) positioned in financials and utilities - in Canada 🇨🇦 - and compounding my monthly income - north of 10% yield… thank you Stephen for your very sound advice 😅
This is my preferred style of investing. Ever since stock dividends went to around 1.5% I have purchased income securities. REITs, MLPs, and high div stocks have done well. They give you enough income to take retirement withdrawals and still re-invest some income.
I think this has to be my favorite episode so far! This is my third time listening as I type this comment, there are so many actionable points in this discussion.
I love this alternative strategy. It is very refreshing to think in terms of steady income as opposed to finding the next momentum trade. Capital appreciation depends on the market recognizing undervalued stocks and for a decade or more now with automated index investing, all the benefits accrue to the top 7 or so stocks. I was a little disappointed that this interview did not address income factory strategies to minimize income taxes which are higher for dividends than capital gains and to hedge against inflation the specter of which is rising due to the increasing need for Fed liquidity as was discussed in another recent episode. Thank you for the great research you bring to light. Thoughful Money is quite the boon to retail investors.
Rob, there is another UA-camr who focuses on High Yield investments - very thorough review of each type and specific instruments to consider - gives pros/cons of each, who might benefit, who might not, and how it might perform in various market/interest environments. He does not believe in leverage. Armchair Income is the channel. Would be a great guest!
I appreciate watching Armchair Income. I always learn little something, or learn how to reevaluate. I am a small, new investor, and I recognize and appreciate sound presentations.
Thank you so much for this interview Adam. This is exactly the strategy I've been trying to execute but did not know the framework of or how to define it or build it till this interview. Great help and appreciate it very much!
There was so much great information in here, it feels like a lot to process. I think my questions now are: 1. How to get started 2. Allocation (including balancing risk/return) This is one of the best interviews you have done, just because it feels like something I could get started researching right now. Thanks!
Exactly this. Should one dollar cost average into each fund/etf? Wait and buy when a fund/etf share price is low compared to its 5-year average? Buy on a large market correction (see charts of his suggested funds for March 2020). Maybe it doesn't matter - just buy at any price and hold (and don't ever look again at the share price)? Get Steven back for more!
@@ronster-380buy one share of everything you’re interested in and then start watching… try to build each position up to an arbitrary monthly income threshold, think $50 to $100 monthly
@@ronster-380 what I would do is wait for a small pullback/dip. Enter a small position and just DCA down as the price dips. If price goes up, you can wait or DCA up.
I loved this interview! I have always had an inkling that investing in debt was a good strategy but I never knew how to do it. I'm already retired and I like this idea!
Wow, I was impressed by Steven, then got his book. Highly recommend. This is what I needed and I will follow his advice. Thank you Adam, you have helped me with this video and past ones. Great content. Goal 10 % income collection from my portfolio 😊
Wonderful interview. I appreciated hearing him describe his "growth through investing in fixed income assets" approach. What wasn't discussed is the extreme level of volatility that many of the assets classes described in his approach represent.
The volatility doesn't matter so much if you stick to the approach abs reinvest divs. I think you are referring to the recent market crash - but keep in mind in this environment basically everything crashed including long term treasuries precious metals etc. The only safe things to hold have been mega cap indexes because that's what the fed is propping up despite the fact those companies are in huge bubbles
I have been doing this for a little while now and its helping me recover for a few bad positions at the start of the dip. I plan to do more but with the income stream currently I can see this is a decent strategy. But I will look for the book. Might be an interesting read. These are good guests. We are all this together. Thanks for the ticker symbols so we can research a little. This is always nice since there are billions of funds now and hard to narrow the focus.
I am a passive investor by nature, and this makes complete sense to me and I’m only 20 minutes into the video. Honestly wish I’d known this a long time ago. Better late than never but geez…
Economic investigator Frank G Melbourne Australia is still following this informative content 😊 WOW ! Adam great interview so much useful windows on investing Cheers Frank talk about Nailing It ! as a 70 year old and still working I ❤ the content !

Thank you for aggregating all this knowledge, asking the questions we want to ask (even when we have not thought of them yet!).
I like how Steven is not afraid to call out actual tickers that fit his investing framework. That's what I call actionable.
And I like selecting according to my Values. Also, I put a little NonETF bitcoin in a cold wallet. Bitcoin grows as the dollar dies.
That's because compliance doesn't allow people to say tickers for a lot of commentators that have jobs in the industry.
Well said adam. There's only two things that really matter in life and that's whether you're sick or whether you're well because if your sick nothing else matters.
No kidding, that felt so foreign because everyone talks in abstract. Super awesome.

LOVED the horse race analogy - credit = just need to finish. Equity = need to place. That was a helpful way to think about it.
Good job Adam and Steven! I just felt my paradigm shift. It would be good to have Steven back some time in the future.

Love ❤ this! Mr Bavaria was a key inspiration to my investment philosophy, and early retirement. 😊👍🏼
Good video. Would be great to have him on again and do an actual income factory for different levels of capital accumulation, or by age. That would be awesome.
More of these kind of videos please Adam! Long term subscriber...
Such a good point about people not willing to invest in junk bonds but they will buy stock in those same companies!
Yep so true most of the companies I have bought stock in over the years have gone bankrupt sooner or later. And that's usually the fate of every business in the longterm anyway. I will never buy an individual stock again. I lost almost everything in 2022. Even my blue chips are still down 50-70% since that crash with no sign of recovering
Yes, that was a thoughtful moment.

An intelligent,sober and wise/sensible method of investment which is unique
This is a great video. I will be watching it again to catch the details I missed.
Yaaaaaaq boy. I gotta watch this twice.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. It's a wealth of knowledge. I am sharing it with my family. Blessings
this episode really was thoughtful money..thank you ever so much ( not to disparage any other episode☺)
Mr. Bavaria's best idea was staying healthy as long as possible.😊
I am a big fan of covered called etf’s with 10% dividends.
Very good interview! Bring it back for sure !
Great content and interview.
Excellent and informative discussion. Please have this guest back. ( Buying his book now!)
I have been doing this for a little while now and its helping me recover for a few bad positions at the start of the dip. I plan to do more but with the income stream currently I can see this is a decent strategy. But I will look for the book. Might be an interesting read. These are good guests. We are all this together. Thanks for the ticker symbols so we can research a little. This is always nice since there are billions of funds now and hard to narrow the focus.
Such great wisdom, thank you
Excellent interview, thank you!
what a great guy! Just bought his book
I am a passive investor by nature, and this makes complete sense to me and I’m only 20 minutes into the video. Honestly wish I’d known this a long time ago. Better late than never but geez…
Good interview. Agree with almost all, for a investor of a certain age.
