UNSCRIPTED Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Entrepreneurship ( PDFDrive )

BUYING PAYCHECK ASSETS
If you’re following the snap rule, buying paycheck-pot assets is a breeze. First,
open an account at a major financial firm. Keep in mind the apocalypse rule and
stick with larger companies. You shouldn’t be depositing millions with some
dude claiming to be a financial advisor who just started his company eighteen
months ago. My preferred financial providers are as follows:
Vanguard
(
vanguard.com

T. Rowe Price (
troweprice.com

TD
Ameritrade (
tdameritrade.com
)
Charles Schwab (
charlesschwab.com

Fidelity (
fidelity.com
) Once your account is established, start
researching paycheck-pot assets. A good starting point are the in-house funds
that many firms offer. Vanguard, by far my favorite, has a wide variety of
managed distribution funds with extremely low fees. T. Rowe Price and Fidelity
also have a large selection. Keep in mind the 1 percent rule, as well as any
“redemption fees”—fees charged for shares sold after a short period of time. For
example, T. Rowe Price’s Emerging Market Bond (PREMX) has an annual yield
of 5.6 percent paying monthly with fees less than 1 percent. It also has a 2
percent redemption fee. This fund is an acceptable paycheck-pot asset, but only if
you don’t sell within two months of buying.
If you are actively trading your way to paycheck-pot assets through a
brokerage account, such as TD Ameritrade, E-Trade, or Schwab, focus on ETFs,
REITs, MLPs, dividend stocks, and closed-end funds (CEFs).
In addition to the seven rules above, here are some simple guidelines
(notwithstanding any economic conditions) I use to target the right assets:
EXCHANGE TRADED FUNDS (ETFS)
Daily trading volume averages in excess of one million shares, ensuring
liquidity and tight bid/ask spreads
Should be offered by a notable sponsor
with over $50 billion in assets. As of print, that’s BlackRock (iShares), Vanguard, State
Street, and Invesco (PowerShares)
DIVIDEND STOCKS (NOT INCLUDING REITS AND MLPS)
Dividends must be
stable or rising, preferably with a three-year history.
Dividend yield should not be unrealistically high; pay close attention to the
Ackbar and Ostrich rules.
A dividend payout ratio, the percentage of profits paid to shareholders, in
excess of 50 percent


REAL-ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS (REITS)
Must not be a new offering;
preferably three years or more trading history
Dividends must be
stable or rising.
Funds From Operations (FFO) must be stable or rising. If this metric is not
easily obtainable, use Net Margin.
Daily trading volume of at least one million shares
Prefer REITs
with physical assets over paper (notes), which can be more volatile and subject to asset
price declines.
Dividend yield should not exceed five times S&P 500 dividend.
MASTER LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (MLPS)
Should have at least a three-year operating history.
Distribution history preferred to growing, or minimally, stable.
A healthy distribution coverage ratio, which is distributable cash flow
divided by distribution to partners. Your selection universe should be anything greater
than 1 with a preference toward 1.25 and above.
CLOSED-END FUNDS (CEFS)
A tight bid/ask spread or a daily trading volume of at least 100,000 with the
exception of state municipal bond funds
Price is trading at less than a 1
percent premium to net asset value (NAV), or better, at discount to NAV.
Follow 1 percent rule.
THE PAYCHECK POT: A REAL EXAMPLE
A paycheck pot and its income are snapshotted on the next page.
This asset portfolio was put together in December 2015 and is only
representative of that time. When you’re reading this, the asset values and their
income will be different. The point of this exercise isn’t to recommend any of
these securities, but to show you how you can receive regular monthly income—
for life—based upon a large lump-sum investment.
To restate, nothing in this book is a recommendation for any one security or
basket of securities. Neither I nor my publishing company is in the business of
recommending financial instruments: this example is for illustrative purposes
only. With that behind us, assume a paycheck pot of $10 million.
For simplicity, our asset diversification will be limited to dividend stocks
only. We will only consider established companies with stable or increasing
dividend histories. Each company pays quarterly dividends, and each group is
allocated so
