Simply Money: The STRC DRIP Strategy That Makes the Most Money

Most investors think DRIP is simple…
Reinvest everything and let it compound.

But when I ran the numbers on STRC, the results were NOT what most people expect.

In this video, I break down three different DRIP strategies:

Full DRIP (100% reinvestment)
Partial DRIP (50/50 income + reinvestment)
No DRIP (take all income)

And the difference in total return and income over time might surprise you.

Because depending on how you structure your DRIP strategy, you could be:

Maximizing long-term growth
Increasing your monthly income
Or leaving serious money on the table

This is a full backtest using real data — not opinions — so you can see exactly which strategy actually makes the most money over time.

If you’re investing in high-yield ETFs like STRC, SPYI, QQQI, or similar income funds, this is one of the most important decisions you can make.
