Stock Income (STK INC)

Growth (GRO)

This portfolio is an all ETF portfolio that combines an approximately 80/20 mixture of Equity to Fixed Income investments and uses Put options to help protect against any adverse market events.

Growth with Income (GWI)

This portfolio is an all ETF portfolio using a 60/40 mixture of Equity to Fixed Income investments and it does not use Put options due to the larger percentage of Fixed Income positions but does generate Call income.

Growth with Income Munis (GWIM)

This portfolio mimics our Growth With Income (GWI) model using Muni ETFs rather than Corporate Bond ETFs that provide tax free interest for non-qualified accounts.

Income with Moderate Growth (IMG)

This portfolio is an all ETF portfolio that combines an approximately 30/70 mixture of Equity to Fixed Income investments and does not include any Option activity.

Many financial advisors fail to focus on the after tax returns of a portfolio. A 10% return is great, but if 3% is lost to taxes, then that return is not as impressive.
