5 year total return for each: IEP -58 MNR 4% since inception 3/25/23 TWO 3% SPY 112% 10yr total returns: IEP -57% TWO -46% SPY 259% So that 22% dividend actually lost money in opportunity cost vs SPY over 5 years and in real terms over 10 years.
IEP and MNR are structured as partnerships, so you will get K-1's for those. TWO will not likely outgrow the dividend, so you have something that will likely just erode over time (it's down 80% since going public.) IEP has turned into a mess - that's down from where it IPO'd in the late 1990's. I'm very skeptical that IEP's dividend is sustainable, especially if things get any worse for that. Dividends are also taken out of the share price and taxed. So with TWO, you're getting dividends that are taken out of the share price and taxed while the share price will likely keep going down over time because the company isn't likely to outgrow the yield. Plus, mREITs are obliterated every time there's a downturn (see 2020, where it lost more than 70% in a little over a month.)
My grandparents owned a fishing lodge for decades. I've seen first hand the fishing practices of the Americans who came. MNR was called many times.

Those are actually solid picks. I hold VOO and MNR (oil not real estate) and a small stake in GLD I like the looks and numbers of RKLB & RDDT I may add those or Atleast one of them.. MNR pays high dividends so I been kinda putting more in that..
I put everything I have into MNR, gas company, 20% dividend, ~4 PE, solid growth, great fundamentals. I'm making great money off of it plus growth.
I put everything I had into MNR, about 300k, told my dad about it, he's like "huh, looks pretty good, I just bought 50,000 shares"
I invested in MNR, seems like a good play against inflation
Sup, I put every last cent I have into MNR.
For an option that only trade monthly, that is an expiration date; and MNR does NOT have weekly options.
I hope not. Damn MNR holders are going to be mad they got bought out by a shitty REIT on its deathbed.
Lumen Technologies (NYE: LUMN) Expands Fiber Network Across U.S. and Europe Project uses Corning fiber to create largest ultra-low-loss fiber network in North America, substantially adding to significant fiber network. As customer demand for extreme high-capacity, low-latency data transport continues to grow, Lumen Technologies is utilizing its global multi-conduit infrastructure to expand the company’s intercity network by 4.7 million miles of fiber, making it the largest ultra-low-loss fiber network in North America. “Our newly-built intercity fiber network, created with the latest optical technology, is another example of how our diverse fiber assets differentiate us from other network providers,” said Andrew Dugan, Lumen chief technology officer. “Our multi-conduit infrastructure has a significant amount of capacity for supporting the growing demand for fiber and will allow us to quickly and cost effectively deploy new fiber technology now and in the future. This uniquely positions Lumen to meet the needs of companies seeking highly reliable, low-latency network infrastructure designed to move massive amounts of data.” The first phase of this overbuild fiber network, completed in June 2019, connects more than 50 major cities throughout the U.S. and represents another powerful asset in Lumen’s vast global fiber-optic network, which includes a purpose-built long-haul network and dense metro networks designed to stay ahead of the growing data demand. The second phase of this expansion will include areas in Europe and will be completed by early 2021. The expanded infrastructure, using the latest optical innovations from Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW), will enhance performance levels across Lumen’s network, benefiting businesses, government agencies and providers seeking fiber to build their own secure, scalable networks for demanding next-generation applications. This project uses Corning’s SMF-28® ULL fiber and SMF-28® Ultra fiber in a hybrid Corning® SST-UltraRibbon™ cable. With a silica core design, SMF-28 ULL fiber offers the lowest loss of any terrestrial-grade optical fiber and will provide the CenturyLink network with a boost in optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) which can extend optical reach at very high data rates. The added capacity will further improve the scalability of the network to meet the high bandwidth demands of emerging technologies and applications such as 5G, augmented reality, high-definition video streaming and the Internet of Things. “A next-generation network requires next-generation optical infrastructure, and we believe Corning's fiber and cable innovations will enable Lumen and its customers to unlock the opportunities presented by the Internet of Things and other transformative technologies" said Dr. Bernhard Deutsch, vice president and general manager, Corning Optical Fiber and Cable. "With the expanded optical reach and capacity provided by our ultra-low-loss fiber, Lumen will magnify the capabilities of their expansive, scalable fiber network.” Lumen was able to quickly and cost effectively complete the first phase of the project using multi-conduit infrastructure already in place. The company is currently selling routes to large enterprise companies and content providers in the U.S. and will work with customers to add additional routes as needed. Key Facts: Lumen is creating an extensive 4.7-million fiber mile intercity fiber network across the U.S. and parts of Europe. The first phase, comprising 3.5 million fiber miles, was completed in June 2019.An additional 1.2 million fiber miles will be added by early 2021. Lumen is currently selling fiber routes to large enterprise companies and content providers in the U.S. Multi-conduit infrastructure allows Lumen to quickly and economically deploy new fiber technology or add network capacity as needed. The expanded fiber network utilizes Corning’s SMF-28® ULL fiber and SMF-28® Ultra fiber, creating the largest ultra-low-loss fiber network in North America.
