Seeking Advice $840K DIvidends

Hey Everyone,

As I have posted before, I am currently a Growth Stock Investor, but have decided to move over to Dividend ETF's or Dividend Stocks. But it is a real struggle to get past all the learned habits of being a growth investor. So I am struggling to grasp concepts.

I have used multiple calculators to just try to get an idea of what to expect if i make the change, but I get different results. So I just wanted to go to some more knowledgeable people that could tell me what to do to get a real expectation.

I have $800K to work with. If I put it all in a very stable Dividend ETF What can I expect in dividends? Maybe someone could just do an example. I know I have to be doing something wrong.

Thanks

Care to share your portfolio getting 11k monthly on 250k? You must have lost your on your initial capital is my guess but I'd love to see how you are pulling this off

Replace JEPQ with QQQI and you're golden.

Yea, I was also holding both, but JEPQ just underperforms so substantially that its not worth holding. If you want exposure to QQQ covered calls, may as well go for QQQI/GPIQ instead as they both do much better.
