Here's How Many Shares of VICI Properties You Should Own to Get $5,000 in Yearly Dividends
VICI Properties (NYSE: VICI) has been a great income investment over the years. Here's a look at how many shares of the real estate investment trust (REIT) you'd need to own to collect $5,000 in dividend income each year.

VICI Properties owns a treasure trove of experiential real estate, including three of the most iconic casinos on the Las Vegas Strip: Caesars Palace Las Vegas, MGM Grand, and Venetian Resort Las Vegas. The REIT leases these properties to operating companies under very long-term triple net (NNN) leases. Those leases provide it with very stable and growing rental income to pay dividends.
The REIT currently pays a quarterly dividend of $0.4325 per share ($1.73 annualized). At that rate, you'd need to own 2,890 shares to collect $5,000 in dividend income each year. With its share price recently around $32.50, you'd need to invest over $94,000 into the REIT to hit that annual income level.
While that's a lot of money, it's about what you'd need to buy a rental property, given the closing costs, down payment, and repairs required to purchase a home and get it ready to rent. Further, you'd start collecting very passive dividend income immediately.
Meanwhile, it's much less money than you'd need to invest in an S&P 500 index fund to generate the same level of annual dividend income. Given the S&P 500's lower dividend yield (1.4% versus 5.3% for VICI Properties), you'd need to invest over $350,000 into an S&P 500 index fund to reach $5,000 in annual dividend income.
VICI Properties' dividend income should rise each year. The REIT has increased its payout every year since its formation (seven consecutive years), growing it at a 7% compound annual rate. Its combination of yield and growth makes it a great dividend stock to buy for passive income.

Lifting fuel from Dangote refinery costs more than importing from Togo, Dangote reveals
In a scathing indictment of the country's port infrastructure and pricing structure, Dangote revealed that lifting refined petroleum products from the Lekki-based refinery is now more expensive for oil marketers than buying from offshore storage depots in neighboring countries, such as Togo. Speaking bluntly at the just-concluded Global Commodity Insights Conference on West Africa's refined fuel market, regarding the economic inefficiencies afflicting the local market, Dangote cited a slew of port-related fees and regulatory constraints that local merchants confront. At the event, which was jointly hosted by the NMDPRA and S&P Global Commodity Insights in Abuja, Dangote noted that multiple fees at the refinery's loading point and discharge at domestic terminals, which are essentially absent when marketers import gasoline from offshore facilities such as the Lomé Floating Storage Terminal, were to blame. 'In terms of port charges, it is currently more expensive to load a domestic cargo of petroleum products from the Dangote Refinery, as customers pay both at the point of loading and the point of discharge. But when they load from Lome, which competes with us, they pay only at the point of discharge. This is simply unfair and unsustainable,' the Nigerian billionaire relayed. As reported by the Punch, after their findings, marketers who source fuel from the Dangote Refinery have to pay these charges. This was also reiterated by the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria National Publicity Secretary, Chinedu Ukadike. 'We don't load in Lomé, but for Nigerian distribution through the coastal route, it is easier to use the vessels here in Nigeria because it is interstate. Most of the international clearance and the rest is not applicable, because you would be able to avoid a lot of charges, both international and local charges,' he stated. 'It is better to load from Dangote via both means. But if you are loading coastal from another country, it is more difficult than when you are loading from Nigeria,' he added. However, some other players have cited the refinery's restrictive sale methods as a reason why there are complications in the supply chain. This point was elaborated on by Executive Secretary of DAPPMAN, Olufemi Adewole, who noted that the way Dangote conducts business does not benefit most local marketers, particularly small businesses that rely on flexible coastal supply chains. 'Since the advent of Dangote refinery, it has not been smooth sailing at all. We had preliminary meetings with their management. We received promises and assurances that we would be accommodated. We are ready and still willing to patronise Dangote. But the issue is, is Dangote ready to give us the product we want?' he stated. 'You don't get the price upfront,' Adewole explained. 'It is only after you've been cleared that a proforma invoice is issued. Meanwhile, there appears to be a select group Dangote prefers to trade with,' he added.

Jim Cramer says pullbacks in 2 stocks after earnings give new investors chances to buy
Every weekday, the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer holds a "Morning Meeting" livestream at 10:20 a.m. ET. Here's a recap of Thursday's key moments. 1. Stocks were largely higher Thursday. Both the S & P 500 and Nasdaq hit new all-time highs, led by gains in Alphabet after an earnings beat. This comes on the heels of the S & P 500's record-high close Wednesday after President Donald Trump announced a new trade agreement with Japan. There are also reports that the European Union may also be closing in on a deal with the U.S. "I would not trust a negative view of this market, because there are signs of great positivity," said Jim Cramer. 2. Shares of Honeywell fell Thursday despite quarterly beats on the company's top and bottom lines. Honeywell also raised guidance. The Club stock 5% decline is "just disrespectful," said Jeff Marks, director of portfolio analysis for the Club. Meanwhile, fellow portfolio name Dover was taking a 2.5% hit following solid earnings. Jim said the stock "should be up four to five [dollars]," considering that most of the metrics are "better." Jim said the pullbacks in both stocks are buy opportunities for new investors. 3. Alphabet raised its outlook on capital expenditure by $10 billion to $85 billion. Alphabet said the new outlook reflects an additional investment in servers and an acceleration in the pace of data center construction to meet cloud customer demand. The company is looking to raise its capex again in 2026, citing customer demand and growth opportunities. This is a positive read-through for our semiconductor stocks, Broadcom and Nvidia , which were both higher Thursday. 4. Stocks covered in Thursday's rapid fire at the end of the video were Tesla , Alphabet , UnitedHealth , ServiceNow , and Chipotle . (Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is long AVGO, DOV, HON,NVDA.

Jim waits 45 minutes after sending a trade alert before buying or selling a stock in his charitable trust's portfolio.
