Fantastic start Video _ really great summary !!

Is it worth just investing in VHY as a set and forgot dividend yielding portfolio?

What are you using to build your portfolio simulations here 🤔

Unfortunately can't come down Tracey because I have tons of penny stock which are extremely high risk!

Hi Tracey, HNY. Do you think Fortescue is a good buy at this stage, considering the iron ore prices are low. Also they pay high dividends, looks like they are consistent in paying those.

As a fellow ragdoll owner I love your cat!

I started in 2018. My favorite Stocks Are BDCs.

Of course it will go up, due to fiat money devaluing. 😊 everything’s going up- property, gold, loans, bills, coffee, bread, pulled pork 😬

glad you mentioned luck, great advice, invest in financial literacy so you know what a balance sheet is, get good tax advice and understand the basics of it, get a good accountant, I been with mine too long, he never steered me in the direction i needed to go in, big mistake, so find one you can talk to. if I only understood tax structures, trusts and investment strategies....he only needed to point me in the right direction, all my fault, so build a good team, wish i could say more.....thank you

I am glad you mentioned luck

A cohost this year! Hi kitty ☺️👋

The australian stock market is frantically sawing off the branch its sitting on, its owners dont climb trees, they send you up to wax the blade 🤣

Thanks. I needed to hear a lot of that

assume its for " investment spread" ... but using these figures Why wouldnt u just go all in FMG at 12+ %???

Thanks for sharing all your knowledge. Wish Yu a fantastic 2025 & many more to come 🥰

Great Book to read!......Conscious capitalism.....John Mackey/Raj sisodia.....Has A lot of wisdom in regards to choosing the right Stocks & what Makes a Great Company!

Happy New Year Great advice as always Thanks Tracey

in 2025 will an updated paperback version of ‘Shopping for Shares: The Everyday Woman's Guide to Profiting from the Australian Stock Market’ be published? would sell well as many more females are investing and reading investing books compared to 2011

You missed one more reason why people are not into investing.😂 Simply, just got no extra money to start with because bills come first.

Hi Tracy 😊 Can you do a video on investing in super verse investing in the ASX?

Happy New Year beautiful lady! 👊🏾

If CBA price goes any higher it will be a Zero percent yielding stock LOL 🙂

I’m in my 50’s. Wish I had known what I know now but back in my 40’s. Back then I was still labouring under my migrant parent’s ignorance and fear of the stock market being nothing short of gambling. If I’d started investing back then, I’d have been early retired well before now. The best time to start investing is as early in your life as you can I.e., years ago. The second best time is now. Thx for another decent vid 💪👍

I haven’t started investing yet, but I’ve now built up an emergency savings fund and I’m now focusing on building up my super as I have been a sole trader who had neglected super then I plan to start independently investing in a year or two. I value your content and dividend investing appeals to me

Thanks Tracey, great overview of investing strategy: it's ok to be average! and be calm :)

Thanks Tracey, you have a great 2025 and we hope to see more of your videos 🌹🥂💐

I pride myself on being able to buy at the top and sell at the bottom, lol.

I suppose the other relevant factor is the franking credits.

Listening to a few audiobooks about a problem you suspect you are having is also good therapy! All the best Tracey and happy new year! 🎉

Id consider some insurance stocks like Medibank Private and Steadfast in there

Thanks Tracey that’s what I found….you confirmed…by the way what’s the deal with funny faces?! Have a happy Chrissy.

I would assume people who don’t have mortgage are more suitable for dividend etfs?

I find the stock screeners are the best for weeding out what you do and don't want. just fine tune the screener and save it. I set Westpac's one for a minimum yield of 2.8% a minimum per annum dividend growth rate of 4% over 10 years, large and medium market cap stocks, payout ratios are also displayed, I think the list displays 55 stocks.

Those 5 are totally obvious and sound quite sensible but do not reflect the personal input you are making in your comments. TCL and AGL maybe poised for improved growth.

Thank you, interesting insights from AI and thank you for sharing your thoughts too. Take care and enjoy yourself in this silly season !

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.

🤣 Great vid idea, hilarious. I probably wouldnt reccomend choosing a therapist that cant discern between "picket" and "pick it" tho, no harm in letting it punt stocks, try horses and greyhounds too 😂

Hi Tracey, try the same request in Perplexity. Much better result. Fortescue Metals Group APA Group Eagers Automotive Super Retail Group Ltd Centuria Capital Group

Not sure Telstra should be in there

ha ha - so I put my unique criteria into ChatGPT and it spat out a list that I already own ... PLUS .... a link to this video!! Sweet - ChatGPT knows about you Tracey 🙂

Thanks again for your words of wisdom.

Thank you that was interesting

I wonder how GPT would respond if we asked it to only use information from people & sites who have a good track record?

Thanks again for your video. I hadn't thought of using A.I. for recommendations so your thoughts give an interesting perspective on this.

Where's the big 4 banks? 😅🤣

I use it for programming code for basic syntax I keep forgetting. It's useful but inaccurate a lot of the time and sometimes you have to ask it a dozen times before you get close to what you want. Might give you a "starter for 10" for stock picking, but that's about it.

Hey Tracey,you haven't done much for a while. You and I both live in South Brisbane. Too much rain. My 2024 portfolio sucked

Thanks very much for sharing, good, and informative, as always.

Yesterday, l brought 26 more Fortescue metals only 26 at a time slow but steady ..great video has always...P.S MARRY CHRISTMAS 🎉

Hi Tracey, what do you think of Finbar Group (FRI) WA Property development company. Fully franked, good dividend yield.
