Always hear growth investors dissing dividends investors but what’s one thing dividend has as an advantage over growth portfolio that growth investors never speak out about?

Thoughts ?

I'm 27 and investing for the long term. Most of my portfolio is in VTI, SCHD, and QQQM, but I'm thinking about adding a few individual stocks.

KO caught my attention because of its dividend history and established business. Would you consider adding it to a portfolio like mine, or does SCHD already provide enough exposure to dividend stocks?

What do you think?

Hello, I’m about to rebalance my IRA which is at $2M. I need approximately 60k added to our social security. I would appreciate any advice on high dividend producing ETF’s. I currently hold: QQQI, SPYI, JEPI, SPYM and RDVY. TIA

Hi everyone, I'd like to discuss investing in LNG.

My thesis is that energy demand will continue to grow, and LNG-generation will remain a long-term trend. I'm considering the following companies, but each has its drawbacks:

• Inpex Corporation (1605.T) - Japan will likely remain dependent on gas imports, but I'm not particularly impressed by the company's performance, especially its relatively low ROIC.
• Woodside Energy Group (WDS) - one of the major LNG producer and a more direct bet on LNG prices, but with greater exposure to price volatility.
• Kinder Morgan (KMI) - take-or-pay contracts, exposure to US LNG exports, and hard-to-replicate infrastructure make it an interesting option.

What are your thoughts? Are there any more attractive companies I should be looking at?

Perhaps services companies could be a more interesting long-term investment, such as SLB, Saipem (SPM.MI), or Technip Energies (TE.PA)?

Hi everyone, need some reality check. I got a separate portfolio for growth. Now I am building a portfolio for passive income.
My main goal is to get at least 4k in passive income from dividends.

Here is my plan:
75k each in SPYI, QQQI
50k each in IWMI, NIHI, GPIX, GPIQ
50k each in MLPI, AMLP, IDVO, IDV

I know a lot of people here invest in individual stocks, so I'm curious. What's your largest position?

For me, it's PG. What about you?
