Dapper Dividends is a personal podcast about dividend growth investing, hosted by Russ, a Chicago-raised installer and service technician who served in the US Navy in the late 1990s. Each episode shares his own opinions and experiences on building a dividend-focused portfolio, along with reflections on work, family and everyday life. The tone is casual and quirky rather than formal financial analysis, and he is explicit that nothing he says should be taken as investment advice. It is aimed at listeners who want a relatable, hobbyist perspective on long-term dividend investing.

#314~ Are REITs Still Worth Owning? 11.10.2026 11min👉 Seeking Alpha's Quant Growth & Income — special price of $449/yr: DISCOUNT LINK Should you sell your REITs when the S&P 500 keeps winning? I'm 48, about a decade from needing my portfolio to pay the bills, and my two REITs, Agree Realty (ADC) and VICI Properties (VICI), have badly trailed VOO. In this video, I show the real numbers, explain why REIT prices fall when the 10-year Treasury pays over 5%, compare Agree Realty to Realty Income (O), bust the "never hold REITs in a taxable account" myth with the Section 199A deduction, and look at whether today's tech-heavy S&P 500 looks like the dot-com bubble. Then I tell you what I actually did with my own money this week. This video is for beginner and intermediate dividend investors wondering if REITs still belong in a portfolio.🔥 SPECIAL OFFERS: Seeking Alpha Premium offers my viewers 7 FREE days plus $30 off!

#313~ The Dividend King Faking Its Own Raises 19.09.2026 14min👉 Seeking Alpha's Quant Growth & Income — special price of $449/yr: DISCOUNT LINK Sponsored by Seeking Alpha. Opinions are mine.Some companies hand shareholders extra shares every year instead of raising the cash dividend, and it looks like free money. It isn't. In this video, I break down what a stock dividend actually is, why your broker records it as a stock split, and why selling those bonus shares to create a higher "yield" is really just a withdrawal from your own account. We look at what happens to the share price the morning after, and check the one number that settles the argument: 20-year total return with dividends reinvested, measured against the S&P 500. If you own Dividend Kings for the streak, or you've ever seen a stock with 60 straight years of dividend growth and assumed the payment kept going up, this one is worth nine minutes. Covers Tootsie Roll Industries (TR) and Commerce Bancshares (CBSH), dividend safety scores, payout ratios, and why the growth of the underlying business matters more than any yield on a screener.DISCLOSURE: This video is sponsored by Seeking Alpha.

#312~ 2 Dividend Stocks Down Big (I Think It's Temporary) 29.08.2026 18min👉 Seeking Alpha's Quant Growth & Income — special price of $449/yr: DISCOUNT LINK Sponsored by Seeking Alpha. Opinions are mine.Pool Corp (POOL) is down 44% from its high, and Hershey (HSY) is near a 52-week low — and both raised their dividends while the stock fell. POOL yields 2.76%, and HSY yields 3.06%. In this video, I walk through Simply Safe Dividends on both: dividend safety, valuation, growth, and returns on capital. I explain why I think both dips are temporary, and why I have no idea whether temporary means months or years. Neither of these is a recommendation. Both are on my watchlist.DISCLOSURE: This video is sponsored by Seeking Alpha.

#311~ Why This Millionaire Quit Buying Big Dividends. 21.08.2026 36minShaun | @ParlayBros is back on the channel three years later, and he's stopped adding to the high-dividend payers that built his income — including Altria, still his largest position- and he's doing something most dividend investors would never do on purpose: he's selling his high-yield dividend stocks and moving that money into low-yield ETFs and compounders. He calls it his bonsai tree approach — pruning the portfolio so it grows the shape he actually wants instead of just paying him the most cash today. In this conversation, we walk through his seven stages of investing, the ten ETFs he's buying right now, what he'd do differently if he were starting over, and what he'd tell someone with $500 a month to invest and no idea where to begin. We also get into the stocks that are hard to buy, why Costco is a low-risk, high-uncertainty situation in the Dhandho sense, and how to survive the boring middle of a long investing journey without quitting. If you own SCHD, Realty Income, ARCC, or any other high-yield dividend stock and you've wondered whether chasing yield is the right move as your account gets bigger, this one is worth your time. Real talk about dividend investing, dividend growth, portfolio strategy, and the mistakes that cost him money along the way.Special Offer - One FREE Month of Simply Safe Dividends... no credit card required!

#310~ I Tested 69 Covered Call ETFs. Only 4 Passed. 09.08.2026 15minI tested 69 covered call and options-income ETFs against the assets they're built on — every fund from its own inception date through August 7, 2026, total return with all distributions reinvested. Only 4 beat their benchmark, and every one of those four had a flat or falling underlying, used leverage, or wasn't actually a covered call fund. Not one beat its benchmark by writing calls on an asset that was going up. This video explains why covered call ETFs like GOOY, QYLD, JEPI, TSLY, SPYI, and QQQI underperform buy-and-hold, what a covered call actually trades away, why a "distribution" is not a dividend, and how return of capital can hand you back your own money while the share price sinks. The full spreadsheet with every fund, inception date, and total return number is linked below so you can check the work yourself.📊 Full spreadsheet🔢 Run your own comparison: DividendChannel.comSpecial Offer - One FREE Month of Simply Safe Dividends... no credit card required!

#309~ 5 Dividend Stocks: 4% Yield, Safe, and Cheap! 02.08.2026 37minI used the Simply Safe Dividends stock screener to find dividend stocks with yields of 4% or higher, safe dividends, low valuations, and strong returns on capital. Five companies made the cut: Watsco (WSO), Paychex (PAYX), Amdocs (DOX), PepsiCo (PEP), and T. Rowe Price (TROW). For each one, I explain in plain English why the stock is down, what the business actually does, and what I would want to see before buying it. I also show why a high dividend yield is not free money — yield rises when the price falls, so screening for high yields means finding companies the market is worried about. At the end, I reveal my full $730,000 dividend portfolio.Special Offer - One FREE Month of Simply Safe Dividends... no credit card required!

#307~ Dividend Investing for People in a Hurry! 12.07.2026 9minDividend investing explained for beginners, fast. If a $100 stock pays a $5 dividend, do you have $105 — or $95 plus $5 in cash? Meb Faber's survey found only about 1 in 4 everyday investors get it right. I cover why dividends aren't free money, why a high dividend yield is often a warning sign (GE, Kraft Heinz, AT&T, Intel, Walgreens all cut theirs), and the one rule that matters most: buy the company, not the dividend. Plus, I show you how to check if a dividend is actually safe for free using the free cash flow payout ratio — and why the earnings payout ratio most websites show you can be misleading. If you're wondering how dividends work or whether high-yield dividend stocks are a good idea, this is the 7-minute version.[Link to YouTube Video]Special Offer - One FREE Month of Simply Safe Dividends... no credit card required!

#306~ She Quit VTI To Buy This Instead... 27.06.2026 28minLisa J-Stocks | @LisaJStocks bought VTI for over three years straight — then she stopped. In this interview, she explains why she shifted to growth, the two stocks she's buying now (SPMO and SMH), and the simple mindset trick that keeps her investing no matter what: treat it like a bill you have to pay. We hear about her top holding, FXAIX, the monthly dividend stocks she still owns (and how they're really doing), and the hard lesson behind her favorite line: "When you know better, you do better."[Link to YouTube Video]Find out more about OVL from the horse's mouth HERE Warren Buffett's 2012 Annual Shareholder LetterSpecial Offer - One FREE Month of Simply Safe Dividends... no credit card required!

#305~ Is OVL Better Than VOO? 20.06.2026 13minSo I kept hearing about this ETF called OVL — it's beaten the S&P 500 since 2019, and now it pays you over 10% a year in monthly checks. Sounded like a cheat code, so I popped the hood. In this one, I break down what's actually inside OVL (spoiler: it's basically VOO), how it uses options to juice that yield, where that 10% monthly payout really comes from, why the fee is 26x higher than VOO, what "return of capital" actually means for your taxes, and who it's really a good fit for. If you've ever wondered whether OVL beats just buying VOO, this'll save you the homework. Educational only — not investment advice.

#304~ Caesars Sold — What VICI Investors Must Know 06.06.2026 50minCaesars Entertainment just sold for $17.6 billion — and if you own VICI Properties, you need to hear this. Russ sits down with Travis from Dividend Collection Agency, a retired Navy vet and TipRanks Top 1% analyst, to break down what the Caesars sale actually means for VICI shareholders, whether dividends are overhyped, which covered call ETFs are worth owning, and whether AI is the next airline industry — great for everyone except investors.

#303~ 4 Cheap Dividend Stocks Nobody Is Talking About! 31.05.2026 24minMost dividend investors stick to the same handful of household names — but some of the best compounding businesses in the market are hiding in plain sight. In this video, I'm using a framework borrowed from investor Pulak Prasad — author of What I Learned About Investing from Darwin — to identify four under-the-radar dividend growers that have delivered above 20% Return on Capital Employed for a decade straight and are currently trading below their own 10-year median P/E ratio. We'll break down exactly what each company does, why the stock is down, and why patient investors might be getting a rare discount on proven cash machines. The four stocks are Global Industrial (GIC), Chemed Corporation (CHE), Allegion (ALLE), and MarketAxess (MKTX).

#302~ Did My Magic Dividend Formula Beat The Market? 23.05.2026 8minTwo years ago, I built my own twist on Joel Greenblatt's Magic Formula investing strategy. I called it the Dividend Magic Formula — I screened MagicFormulaInvesting.com for dividend-paying stocks, ranked them by 5-year Return on Capital Employed (ROCE), and bought the top 10. Did it beat the S&P 500 again in year two? In this video, I share the full results of my $1,000 hypothetical portfolio test, the three big downsides of running this strategy (taxes, fighting compounding, and how close year two really was), and whether I'm about to put real money into it. If you're into dividend investing, value investing, or just curious whether a simple formula can beat VOO, this one's for you.

#300~ Top 10 Terrible Dividend Trades 😬 (And What I Learned) 10.05.2026 13minI lost nearly $48,000 by being too "smart" with my investments — and every single one of these stocks beat the S&P 500 after I sold. In this video I walk through 10 real positions I sold from my own portfolio, the actual dollar cost of each mistake, and the lesson each one taught me. From panic-selling on headlines (Wells Fargo) to wheeling myself out of $20,000 in JPMorgan gains, these are the kinds of mistakes no financial media outlet will show you — because they're embarrassing. But that's exactly why they're worth sharing. As Pulak Prasad says: "Be lazy. Be VERY lazy." Unless the fundamentals of a business are truly broken, doing absolutely nothing — DRIP turned on, hands off the keyboard — would have beaten the market and made me nearly $48,000 richer.

#299~ His "Fever Dream" Portfolio Pays Daily Dividends 03.05.2026 31minIn this video, I sit down with investor Jonah Weingarten, who ditched traditional dividend growth investing for what he calls his "High Yield Fever Dream" — a high-income strategy built around covered call ETFs, a daily buying schedule, and a plan to eventually live off his distributions in retirement.Jonah breaks down his full system: which ETFs he buys bi-weekly (QQQI, SPYI, IYRI, MLPI, GPIQ, TSPY and more), which ones he buys on specific days of the week (QDTE, XDTE, NVDY, PLTY, KURV and more), and how he splits everything 50/50 between his core ETF bucket and his daily income plays.He also shares his end game — right now, he reinvests 50% of all distributions. Once he retires, 50% covers living expenses, and the other 50% keeps compounding, so his income never stops growing.

#298~ The Safest Covered Call ETF (It's Not JEPI) 26.04.2026 12minCovered call ETFs like JEPI, JEPQ, SPYI, QQQI, and the YieldMax single-stock funds (TSLY, NVDY) advertise huge yields — sometimes 12%, 30%, even 80%. But there's no free lunch with covered call income ETFs. In this video I walk through the new covered call ETF ratings from Simply Safe Dividends and break down what every dividend investor needs to understand before buying a high-yield ETF: how covered calls actually work, what NAV erosion means, why total return matters more than yield, the truth about return of capital distributions, the tax drag in a taxable account, and why TSLY has dramatically underperformed Tesla stock since inception. I also share which two covered call ETFs I personally own — DIVO and IDVO — and why their tactical 20-25% call-writing strategy makes them different from the funds that quietly erode your principal.If you're a dividend investor researching JEPI vs DIVO, considering YieldMax ETFs, or trying to understand whether high-yield covered call ETFs belong in your retirement portfolio, this video is for you.

#297~ I Called GE a Red Flag... Then This Happened 18.04.2026 8minIn 2021, I told my viewers that GE's reverse stock split was risky — and I was wrong. In this video, I break down exactly why GE's split was different from the typical panic move you see from struggling companies, what I missed, and the two questions every investor should ask before reacting to any reverse split announcement. GE Aerospace is up over 200% since the split, and GE Vernova is trading near $1,000 a share. Here's what the story around the split was actually telling us.

#295~ We're No Longer Millionaires. Here's What Happened. 05.04.2026 13minOur net worth dropped $53,000 in March 2026 — knocking us out of millionaire status. But here's why I'm not worried, and why a market downturn might actually be the best thing that can happen to a long-term investor. In this portfolio update, I break down exactly what happened, what I bought, what I sold, and what I'm watching closely. We cover our first private equity investment, why I bought Microsoft again after selling it in 2023, the truth about BDCs like ARCC and Main Street Capital amid all the private credit confusion, and why dividend income kept growing even as prices fell. Whether you're new to investing or have been at it for years, this one is packed with real numbers and real decisions.[Link to YouTube Video]Dapper Dividends Recommendation Tracker SpreadsheetCheck out my current portfolio on 📱→Blossom: https://getblossom.onelink.me/SOfu/russ (affiliate)Email Russ: 👉 [email protected]🔔 Follow along with my dividend journey:→ Website→ YouTube Channel→ Newsletter→ BlossomBuy Buffett & Munger Unscripted"The Dividend Millionaire" book affiliate linkCheck out my portfolios and FREE Weekly Newsletter signup: https://dapperdividends.comFREE eBook on Life, Love, and Investing.Thanks for stopping by, and remember: a single income stream is risky, and seeking multiple passive income streams would be wise!
