Perspective: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also ... For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?" ~ Jesus (Matthew 6:19-21; 16:26)

🚨 New Income Opportunity We Just Added to Our High Yield Investor Portfolio 🚨
We recently added a position in Groundfloor 12-Month Signature Notes, and I wanted to flag this for anyone focused on yield, stability, and diversification.
Here’s the quick takeaway 👇
• 8.5% fixed yield
• Monthly interest payments
• 12-month duration
• No market price volatility
• Return of principal at maturity
Unlike Groundfloor’s deal-specific LROs, these Signature Notes are senior obligations of the company, backed by:
✔️ a diversified pool of real estate loans
✔️ Groundfloor’s balance sheet (cash + credit facility)
Groundfloor has never failed to repay principal or interest on its notes. While not risk-free or FDIC-insured, we view these as average risk, not high risk - especially attractive for income-focused portfolios trying to reduce volatility. 1 and 3-month notes are also available and, along with the 12-month notes, are eligible for the following bonuses.
💰 Bonus for those who use the link below and code SAMHYI:
• Invest $1,000+ → $100 bonus
• $10,000+ → +1% bonus
• $50,000+ → +2% bonus
➡️ Use code: SAMHYI when investing to receive the bonus on top of the base yield.

📹 I’ll be releasing a full deep-dive video soon, breaking down the structure, risks, and where this fits in a diversified income strategy...stay tuned!
As always, size positions appropriately and think in terms of portfolio construction, not one-off bets.
Merry Christmas!

I am considering publishing more analysis videos where I walk you through on my screen how I analyze individual stocks and ETFs. Would you like this, or would you prefer I just stick with my current video format for all of my videos?
