Here's why dividend investing is a winning strategy

I have owned Google for a while but always forget they are also paying dividend now and likely will be a dividend grower as well. Just adds another reason to keep them around even when they mature. I wonder what what the dividend yield on cost would be if it becomes divided aristocrat 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉

Waste Management WM is an excellent Div Growth Stock.

why don't you have dividend ETFs in your ROTH?

A lot, not all, of my portfolio is KO which pays dividend 2.04% or in my case $8920/year-reinvested using a DCA strategy. I have SPYI SCHD VXUS RKLB but only invest when the market is down. I sell covered Calls on my holdings in a market peak?? at a $3-4/share strike premium only in my 2 tax-sheltered accounts. My portfolio which is mostly tax-sheltered, grows at about $41k each year. I've never taken a distribution from my brokerage account. I still live on my pension now which is adequate for my needs and I don't have any wants these days. I like doing market research and plan strategy as it reminds me of playing Monopoly with my twin grandaughters 12 years ago.

Dividends only work if they outpace inflation. 3% does not.
And to clarify i mean if you are retired. If you have a job you should focus on growth and just let compounding work. You can switch to dividends latter. Also its not tax efficient at all

Why would you have multiple portfolios? Why not just invest in all the stocks/ETFs that you want in one portfolio? Wouldn't that be more efficient?

Then why does my dividend portfolio behave like a glorified savings account? I've been investing for years now and the returns have been fucking terrible, while the broader market has been crushing it. I've never sold anything. Many of these stocks just don't perform the way you claim they do.

Would love to see a video comparing/contrasting dividend portfolio and Roth IRA account.

Once you understand the power of compounding you will understand dividend investing. Invest consistently, reinvest all dividends, let time be your ally. Build your dividend portfolio for income, buy the index for growth.

MSTY and ULTY is all i’m invested in 🔥

It’s becoming clearer to me that I’ve been doing this all wrong. I’ve tried saving aggressively, but I’m not seeing the growth I was hoping for. I want to get into dividend investing, but I don’t know where to start or which stocks are solid long-term.

Isn’t it increasing my overall income while investing it all and on top of that, doing it inside a Roth 401k is like winning on steroids I think! Am I wrong?

its winning unless your in the red on the stock and the stock dies and they stop dividend and u loose your money

Most people don't need income so you don't need dividends in first two minutes of the video lmao

I create my own dividend by selling shares. It gives me more control

My money works for me. I have equities in JEPI, DIVO, QYLD, SCHD, and JEPQ amounting over $100K in dividends last year 2024. This year, my goal is 10x of my current holdings, but not sure how to go about it.

I invest in dividends, holding SCHD, and ETFs in my Roth while earning steady income from dividend stocks in my taxable account.

i am invested in BDC's, REIT's, Covered Call ETF's, and CEF's, (Closed End Funds), paying on average 11-12 percent, and the majority of the dividend payments are non-qualified and hence are taxed at the higher tax rate, which does not concern me at all. As an example, suppose I have two stocks, one paying qualified dividends and the other paying non-qualified dividends, if the first option is paying me a 10% qualified dividend with a lower tax rate on the income, the other if it pays just one percent higher in non-qualified dividends more than makes up for the higher tax rate on the income compared to the first. I would prefer to be more highly diversified in the stocks I own and so I no longer consider whether the dividend is qualified or not.

As I start exploring value investing, it’s fascinating to see how many quality stocks are flying under the radar. If you were handed $90,000 today to construct a growth-driven portfolio, where would you put your money?

In all honesty, I’ve been a dividend focused investor for a long time. This does not mean I don't own growth stocks, I do. A well rounded portfolio should be a mixture of both categories. One way to minimize the anxiety out of stock market investing, is to make sure you keep a large cash cushion. I invest in the market, but never put all my money in market.

Buy non qualified dividends and qualified dividends blend them in so easily on taxes .

Dividends from the stock market were a key motivator for me to start investing. In my view, if you make sound investments that generate additional income alongside dividends, you can eventually live off that dividend income without the need to sell assets. This approach not only provides financial security for yourself but also creates a lasting legacy for your children, giving them a financial advantage. Over the years, I’ve invested more than $600,000 in dividend stocks and continue to buy more, especially during market dips.

Check out BITO, QDTE, MSTY. I use them in my Roth IRA. If these distribution yields fall, I simply find another another ETF that invests in quality stocks or Bitcoin oriented ETF.

Weekly and monthly dividends provide a nice dopamine hit. The psychology of the approach is hard to deny.

Speaking as someone from the UK, we have a government sponsored account which is completely free of income taxes. I pay only two types of taxes in my account - one is a share purchase / sales tax of 0.5% which goes to the government. The second is the Withholding Tax of 15% I pay on my dividend income for the US listed shares I hold (I have a couple of BDC's that I have to give me income). That is it though - no Income Tax, no Capital Gains taxes, no "Dividend Tax", nada.

I know I am coming to this video a month after its release but there was a recent one from GenExDividendInvestor and he put a video out recently which covers his thoughts that there will be a sustained move away from growth over the next few decades thanks to population decline and it will be easier for companies to pay out profits rather than reinvest successfully into the business. I share this sentiment and I am not sure that people are quite clued up on what's coming down the tracks over the next decade or two. Setting yourself up with a dividend portfolio now will be a lot better than trying to set yourself up with a growth portfolio because the growth just won't be there for the current crop of top companies.

Need to monitor your positions. She mentioned Organon OGN. Unfortunately they just cut their dividend significantly. I sold at a loss. Stay diversified.

My dividend journey began when I realized that two particular expenses in my budget were always going to go up and never go down. The two expenses were taxes and insurance. I realized that the dramatic rise in both will need some added income. So, I started buying shares paying dividends. I can now see that this will be the path I need to take to make sure those two expenses will not overtake my future income.

I like dividends that pay out monthly

dividen etfs are great not just for the dividends...it diversifies your portfolio if you are tech heavy. there is only a 6% overlap between schd and qqq. Also, seeing something coming in every month or quarter is just satisfying!

I say again Altria, do you not care about health of your nation??

20% reasonable? we used to go to war over 3%, reasonable my buttocks!

I'm cautious about making new stock purchases to avoid getting caught in a bear market trap. It's challenging to profit in stocks when institutional investors drive the selling. However, I read about investors who earned up to $150k during this downturn by focusing on dividend-paying stocks. What are the best dividend stocks to buy now or add to a watchlist?

I have added a variety of stocks and ETF to my present holdings for the long term. I also have $300k aside to start following inflation-indexed bonds and stocks of companies with solid cash flow. I strongly believe this is a good time to capitalize on the market for long term gains. But actualizing a short term profit would not be a bad idea for me at all.

How long have you held XOM to get that dividend yield?

dividends are not for small investors.. 500k plus maybe and thats a big if.... a growth portfolio is almost better for any case!

Dividends are what got me into investing in the stock market. The thing to me is, if you invest and have other income outside of dividends then you will be able to live off dividends without selling. Which means you can pass that on to your kids which will give them a leg up in life. Have over $600K in my portfolio as I bought a lot of dividend stocks before, I'm buying more now, and I will buy more when it drops further.

MO is going to be around for a very long time
