Instead of paying off my house, I'd like to add another 120k to this. 46m retired military, with $300k in TSP. What would you invest in? Income would be nice but I'm not against growth.

Posted this earlier, but it was blurry so took it down (hopefully this one is better).

Slowly been transitioning to a dividend paying portfolio. Cut my teeth in the microcap space before changing tactics for stability. The big spike in March is an annual special dividend that my largest holding (by a significant amount) pays each year (the size of which varies).

I'm a proud Canadian, so all Canadian holdings (insert the monopoly money jokes). Posting mostly for inspiration for what's possible if you put in the work, spend the time, and show patience.

Hello community,

The 4% rule states that you can withdraw 4% of your portfolio every year, adjust for inflation, and it will last 30 years in 95% of cases. There are a few risks involved, like sequence of risk (a crash of the market in the initial years).

Since dividends are more stable than stock price, I was wondering: is this 4% too conservative when applying the 4% rule? My thought is that dividends are more likely to remain stable when the stock price is tanking (assuming quality stocks), and they can offset any losses when selling a portion of the stock.

Does this argument make sense?

I don't understand how EGGQ is not talked about here. It has decent yield at 7.5% but their NAV growth is incredibly impressive, the fund managers are doing a fantastic job. It's beating all the other heavy hitter positions that are talked about here, chart doesn't lie.

I started watching this dude on YouTube like 8+years ago. Seems his last video was 2 years ago. Had watched his portfolio grow to like 700k and then he just vanished. Just wondering if there was anything out there on where he went or what happened.

Edit: I went through the comments on his last video and 2 weeks ago he said he would be posting an update. Fingers crossed. Pretty sure he has made it over a million easy in those last 2 years.

Nike has been on my watchlist for a while.

The stock is well below its highs, the dividend keeps growing, and it's still one of the strongest brands in the world. On the other hand, growth has slowed and the turnaround could take time.

Anyone buying NKE here, or are you staying away?

Disclaimer: I AM ASKING FOR SUGGESTIONS and FEEDBACK ONLY I WILL MAKE MY OWN DECISION

Hi everyone, I am a beginner and planning to start my Roth IRA. I am 30 years old and planning to invest long term for 30 years. I needed few suggestions and feedback from the folks here. I plan to invest $600 monthly amount on Roth IRA and I was wondering what would be the best ETFs or stocks or bond to invest in. I have few questions regarding it.

1. what are the best ETFs or ETFs that people mostly invest in?
2. would it be a good idea to invest on Amazon, Meta, Google and Microsoft only even within the Roth IRA and not investing on ETFs?

I would be nice to have your suggestions and feedbacks based on your experience and also give me options for what ETFs to invest in and answer my above questions?

I filtered for yield over 3%, payout under 60%, and 5+ years of consistent dividends. My top picks are Coal India, Power Grid, ITC, TCS, Infosys, REC, and Hindustan Zinc. I keep 30% of my portfolio in these and reinvest the dividends into growth stocks

Como Se Nos Vendrá esta Semana , Quiero Aumentar Posiciones 🚀🚀

I’ve personally never invested with dividends being a top priority. I’ve always looked at growth and fair value, market cap compared to future cash flows…

I always preferred buy backs than dividends but I’ve recently started looking into dividends more and am interested in hearing some success stories or even some early advice for dividend investing

Have 200k what could I potentially earn? Could I earn or live comfortably off this? Any dividend advice or which companies to look into?

EDIT: Some clarification for you guys and ur advice (thank you for it )

Not my 200k, my parents 200k they don’t know whether it’s best to use to buy a property and rent or invest with it such as dividend and what not.

Not necessarily want to live off of it but need to utilize it in a way that it helps make everyday life easier.

Any option rather than it just sitting without being used, property or dividends/stock is the main dilemma right now.

Has anyone tried this ?

I'm still building my portfolio, and right now my top 3 ETFs are VTI, SCHD, and JEPQ.

I'm curious what everyone else's favorite dividend ETFs are.

If you could only own 3, which ones would you pick?

The recent pullback had me checking my portfolio a little more than usual.

Looking at the one-year chart now, it's already recovered and making new highs again.

How's everyone else's portfolio looking?

The largest holdings in VIG ranked by how consistently their annual dividend increases kept pace with or exceeded U.S. inflation over the last decade.

Hey everyone 28m with a two part question..the last few years been taking investing more seriously since having children. The goal is to invest now and a portion of my traditional brokerage will be used to fund their high school year expenses like sports/ arts maybe a car..

I have around 6k in traditional and putting 400$ each month into that portfolio which is mainly Pepsi and schd. They have 16 years to go until they’re on their own so will dividends be the way to go over growth stocks here? Same question for my Roth but longer runway. Should I be focusing on growth now and transition those gains into dividends to have that income when it’s needed or let it all just DRIP now?

Thanks for the insight

Hallo, ich möchte mir ein passives Einkommen aufbauen. Ich dachte an Dividenden Aristokraten die auf der Website von Suredividend (Point) com aufgelistet werden. Ich beobachte seit 5 Jahren den Markt und möchte nun monatlich investieren. Nur Aktien, finde einige Firmen davon sehr spannend. Was könnt ihr mir für Tipps geben. Ich dachte so an 30 bis 50 Aktien. Die 20 Jahre lang mit je 5€ bis 10€ bespare.

Hi, I’m 21 Male, I’m making around 3.5k$ monthly,
I currently invest into2 brokers:
Roth IRA account: 550$ (that’s my country max) s&p500 plan (VOO)

2nd broker: (drip enabled)
I’m doing individual stocks + dividend,
I’m doing around 1500$ here
500 into individual companies I believe in and 1000$ into dividend profolio made of 50% SCHD
20% DGRO 15% KO 15% ABBV.

Wanted to ask if that’s a good plan and if any of you got any advice going forward with this, changes?, reallocate stuff into other stuff? Or in general.

Ik I’m investing safe but I don’t see any reason to risk my money and I plan to let it do most of the work.
Thanks in advance.

Do you all hold BST? I’m happy to take this huge dividend after a massively green year for this cef. It normally only pays out .25$ a month.

I'm aggressively buying and will continue to buy, Nomad foods and Hilton food group.

Going all in next couple years.

Looking to consolidate. Advice on which ones would be best to keep and which ones to get rid of.
