Added 5 shares of $CANQ at a yield of ~4.55%.
The 19(a) notice estimates Return on Capital as 32.48%, so I think my tax rate is ~16.20% on the dividends.

$4.70 of divs from $ICLO on Fri.
Added 8 shares of $FIRI today 🔥
Looking at ETF ideas with high % Return of Capital 👀 — drastically reduces tax drag on dividends.

Purchased 7 shares of $FIRI, a fund-of-funds.
$FIRI’s target annual income is 4% … BUT … it is on pace for dividends of ~13.08% this year.
A downside is it has YieldMax funds - I’m not a fan 😅

🚨 Sold $DEM and $FGD 😵💫
Why? I want to instead invest in monthly dividend payers with high diversification (each portfolio component is ideally less than 2%).
Call it a monthly free lunch? Or a Kelly Criterion play? 🤔 🤷♂️ Anyways…
Re-invested into $UEVM 🤑 and building a position in $SDIV.
