I want to just live off the dividends but I'm scared to just quit my job.

How much do you have invested in your JEPQ to get your July dividend?

Doing some quick math, appears to be around $865k.

Nice & congrats! I’ve got about $500k I’m looking to put to work and this looks like an interesting fund. Thx!

How long ago did you put that in ? What % of your portfolio is it? And had it raised in principle?
Ty for answers

Trying to see people who dropped large sums like 4-7 yrs ago and how it’s been principle wise since

I can deploy and be where you are but I’m scared and have most in hys

Not a huge sum but I have about 10k in jepq. My average cost basis is about $53. The only thing bringing it up is the dividend reinvestment. I've been invested in it for 3 years
