Jivaro’s Harry Negron Public Investment Portfolio
Maximizing Monthly Income Through Strategic Choices
For years, we’ve focused on generating reliable monthly income by blending high-yield dividend assets—such as mortgage REITs, BDCs, and select REITs—with growth-oriented stocks and ETFs. This approach may look like a balancing act, but it forms a robust safety net: when high-yield segments face market headwinds, gains in our growth positions can help smooth out potential volatility. By sharing our portfolio’s strategy and performance, we aim to offer transparent insights grounded in real-world practice. However, it’s vital to remember that every investor’s journey is different, influenced by personal risk tolerance, financial goals, and changing market conditions. We encourage you to draw inspiration from our methods while tailoring them to your own unique path toward sustainable income and long-term success.

Understanding Our Investment Choices
We allocate 10% of our portfolio to bonds, seeking dependable cash flow, market-crash protection, and tax advantages. Another 5% goes to Groundfloor for higher returns than bonds while still offering a defensive buffer, and 5% is dedicated to Fundrise for retirement-focused growth. Our remaining 80% invests in dividend-paying stocks: 40% in high-dividend picks for steady income, 25% in mid-dividend holdings for moderate yields, and 15% in high-growth opportunities for additional upside. All of these positions pay dividends to ensure consistent cash flow.
To further maximize returns, we fund our portfolio on a specific day each month—a timing we identified using machine learning on two decades of historical price data—allowing us to capture incremental gains above the usual market average. If you’d like to know the exact day we deploy capital, join our private Discord and check the pinned message in the #signals channel, where we share insights and strategies away from the public eye.

FAQs
Do we diversify across other asset classes besides stocks and ETFs?
Yes. While our primary focus remains on equities and exchange-traded funds, we plan to expand into real estate investments in the future. This broader portfolio diversification aims to create additional cash flow streams and stabilize returns amidst market shifts.
What is our strategy regarding international stocks or markets outside the U.S.?
We see value in global diversification but remain mindful of tax implications and regulatory differences. Our approach involves selective research into markets where growth prospects, currency considerations, and tax efficiency align with our long-term goals.
Which day do we invest each month, and why is it significant?
We use a machine learning model trained on two decades of market data to pinpoint the historically optimal day each month to deploy capital. This data-driven approach aims to capture lower average share prices and boost overall returns.
Which resources or tools do we recommend for newcomers to investing?
We encourage exploring both reputable online platforms and well-regarded financial publications. Resources like Investopedia offer solid foundations, while professional tools such as Bloomberg, Seeking Alpha, or advanced broker research portals help refine investment strategy and analysis.

We rely on data-driven research, monitoring government policies, industry developments, and global economic indicators. By combining news analytics, corporate filings, and professional research reports, we stay ahead of potential market shifts and refine our decisions continuously.
