how to boost returns by 30%?
Hey everyone!
If you live outside the US, specifically in Singapore, you probably already know about the "Dividend Tax" headache.
Whenever a US company pays you a dividend, the US government automatically takes 30% right off the top before that money even hits your brokerage account. That means if you are entitled to a $100 dividend, you only see $70.
Over a decade of investing, that 30% "leak" significantly slows down your compounding. It is like trying to fill a bucket that has a giant hole in the bottom.
But there is a better way to generate income: Option Selling.
One of the biggest advantages of incorporating option selling into your Dividend Market Genius strategy is the tax treatment for non-US residents.
The 0% Tax Hack ✅
Dividends: Classified as income. Result: 30% withholding tax.
Options Premium: Classified as "Capital Gains." For most non-US residents (including those in Singapore), the US does not impose a withholding tax on capital gains from trading stocks or options. Result: 0% withholding tax.

How we use this in DMG
Instead of just "hoping" for a dividend, we can sell Cash-Secured Puts or Covered Calls on our favorite high-quality companies. When we collect that premium, we keep 100% of it. No 30% haircut. We also do another way of selling options to boost our returns. This is not commonly known, I will share during my live webinar.
This allows you to generate a "synthetic dividend" that is often higher than the actual dividend, while keeping every single cent in your pocket to reinvest and grow your wealth.
The Strategy 💡
We aren't replacing dividends, we are "boosting" them. We hold great companies for the long term, but we use the option market to create a tax-efficient income stream on the side.
I will be showing you exactly how to set up these tax-free income streams inside Dividend Market Genius. If you want to stop giving 30% of your hard-earned income away and start keeping 100% of your gains, you need to be on this list.
