The Truth About Dividend Stocks
How many times have you looked at a dividend stock and thought, Man, I wish I could get paid NOW instead of waiting months for a tiny payout?
Dividend stocks have a reputation as boring. Hey, I get it—they aren't like the sexy growth stocks like PLTR, OKLO, or NVDA. But I see dividend stocks as a way to generate passive income… and I freaking love making money with just a couple of clicks. Worst case? I own a high-quality company at a great level.
So many dividend investors sit around waiting for their stock’s ex-dividend date, hoping for a payout. But here’s the thing—why wait around for a quarterly dividend when you can generate cash flow on demand?
That’s exactly what I did this past week with Merck (MRK) and PepsiCo (PEP), and I want to show you how.
The Strategy: Selling Puts for Extra Cash Flow
I used to think the only way to make passive income from stocks was to buy and hold forever, waiting for those little dividend payments to trickle in.
But then I realized something: Why not get paid immediately while still owning great companies? That’s when I discovered selling puts on dividend stocks during earnings—and it changed everything.
Most traders sit on the sidelines during earnings, waiting to see if a stock will soar or crash.
But I love earnings season because it gives me opportunities to sell puts at a discount and create my own dividends.
Here’s what happened:
MRK and PEP both gapped down after earnings.
I waited for the drop, identified key moving averages, and sold puts at those levels.
Within a 1 hour, MRK bounced, and I closed my put position for a quick profit.
PEP took two days, but same result—closed for a win.
Why This Beats Traditional Dividends
The Problem with Traditional Dividend Investing
You’re waiting months to get paid.
You need a ton of capital to see meaningful returns.
The stock price could drop—wiping out your gains.
Instead, I’m generating multiple “dividends” in a week using a smarter system. You can do this alongside your long-term holdings and stop playing the waiting game.
The Capital Efficiency Play
Instead of locking up thousands of dollars buying shares, I’m using a fraction of my buying
power to generate high-probability income. And if the stock keeps dropping? I get assigned at a discount—on a stock I already wanted to own. Win-win.
