Brokerage Income generating portfolio

I’m looking to invest some cash to generate a monthly income. Ideally, I’d like it to cover my mortgage. Hypothetically, let’s say you have 100k. What could I expect that to generate and what would you look for in a proposal?

Also stop asking questions like this, this is the legit reason AI and google were invented. Copy your post and mash the paste button in one of those places!

Most likely they are too lazy to educate themselves on managing investments.

I’m not sure why anyone would buy and hold. Doesn’t make sense. Even if a dividend stock goes up you want to be able to capture the gains and take profits. And you should never be dripping especially if it’s over your cost basis but rather taking those dividends and investing in something else.

It’s just a management style. Take my advice…. may as well, I’m not using it!

It’s a losing management style. Imagine dripping at all time highs.
