Little Jack must get paid

Every investor has a different attitude about stocks.

Some people buy shares and want the price to go up.

Some short stocks and want them to go down.

Some people buy options.

And, of course, investors argue about what a "good" stock even is.

That's why stock prices go up and down all day.

Now, here's the truth: I don't even know how to define a "good" stock.

But I know a guy who seems to have it all figured out.

At the ripe old age of 9.

Yes, he figured out his entire investment strategy at just 9 years old.

The guy's name is "little Jack," and he is my grandson.

Sharp kid, that little Jack.

During our first stock trading lesson, we were looking at stock charts. I showed him a great chart, and I said this stock looks like it's going higher.

His response: "How do you know?"

I loved that question so much that I told him to say that to anyone who tells him they have a good investment.

After explaining trends, and why I like them, he moved on to more serious matters like how to actually make money with stocks.

The next lesson blew his mind.

It was the dividend lesson.

All about why dividends are the ultimate passive income investment.

He was just amazed that you could get dividends.

That's pretty much all he cares about now.

He has another question that I absolutely love.

Whenever we talk about a stock, his main question is…

"How much do you get paid to own that one?"

Of course, he is referring to the dividend yield, but the way he says it is perfect.

Getting paid to own a stock. Most people have never considered that.

But true investors focus on yield.

And with the market where it is now, dividends are king.

As stock prices drop, the dividend yield goes up. That's another thing little Jack loves.

He also knows that a company's stock price has nothing to do with the company's ability to pay the dividend.

The Coca-Cola company's stock price could go to 10.00 per share, and they will still pay the dividend.

Now is a great time to get into dividend stocks.

There is also another factor that adds to dividend stock appeal.

That other factor is called options.

Options are a big deal now because there has never been a better time to combine dividend stocks and options.

It's something I do every month.

What to see how I do it?

I use a strategy called The Wealth Triangle; you can get all the details here.

Trade Well,

PS. One of little Jack's favorite stocks is Aflac(AFL). I think that is from watching too many Aflac commercials during college football games. But regardless, he gets paid to own it. Quack quack.
