I can realistically not follow more than 15-20 companies (to at least a comfortable level of understanding their business and movements) and I have separated them as follows: 70% of the portfolio = Div+Growth (expecting a return of 10-15% annually); 20% of the portfolio = Speculative bets (usually no Dividend) expecting 0-50% annually growth within a three year period; 10% Cash for opportunities that might come along. It has worked nicely for me over the past four years. I do put a lot of value in being able to sleep well at night... ! 😊

@@nateisright Yes. I just wrote a long explanation and hit the wrong button and it disappeared, so... Simply, it's a simple option strategy in which you offer 100 shares of a stock you own at a certain price for a premium (insurance payment). If it's at the price - strike price-it may get called away (sold) to the investor paying the premium, so the risk is you lose any gain above the strike price. If it doesn't reach that price or above, you keep the shares and the premium. You keep the premium either way. That's simplified. There are a number of You Tubers who have explained it. Fidelity has good tutorials, too. :)

Hi Chuck: Thanks for the vid as always. Suggestions for future videos: 1. In-depth review of how to use the various time frames from a year to 20y. I am still somewhat confused as it seems you can find different valuations depending on time frame. 2. You have mentioned many times these videos are just initial shortlisting of potential investment candidates then more serious research is needed. Can you show your process for further serious research before deciding to pull the trigger or not on an investment. Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback, however, there were valid reasons why we made the decision to change. Here is an explanation currently on our website under announcements: "After thorough research and analysis, we have made the decision to replace the "Free Cash Flow" data item with "Free Cash Flow to Equity." This change was not made lightly and was based on the discovery that the latter data item is a more accurate representation of free cash flow, with more historical data and a calculation based on the historical fundamentals of the company. In contrast, the original "Free Cash Flow" data was sourced from brokers and analysts, resulting in inconsistent calculations across companies and less historical data. In summary, the replacement of "Free Cash Flow" with "Free Cash Flow to Equity" provides a more accurate and consistent calculation of free cash flow, as well as a fuller history of data."

I said it a couple of times before, but I wish you added EV/Ebidta as one on the main metrics to see the correlation with stock prices. Operating profits, cashflow or Revenues are fairly biased metrics since they do not incorporate debt or cash at hand, particularly now that interest rates went from 0 to almost 5%, having tons of debts in variable interest can literally send a company to chapter 11.

Chuck, regarding banks such as Truist, do you think there's a risk they'll stay cheap for an extended period of time? It seems like banks are ALWAYS cheap, so maybe a 15 P/E is too generous for the sector?

there is always that risk with any company or industry. However, TFC has consistently traded around 15 times earnings ( P/E 14 to 16). Nevertheless, it is true that many financials have traded at discounted valuations in recent years. mostly insurance companies however.

I think an 8% average dividend yield is doable, it just might come with some more risks. At the very least, I think you can get a good average six or seven percent dividend yield without a lot of risk. If you were to add up the yields for stocks like ABBV, MO, AVGO, BTI, OHI, ENB, ARCC, and EPD, you get an average yield of 7.5%. You can probably get it up to 8% by adding a couple high-yielding ETFs. And this is with everything equal weighted. You can probably also get that same group to equal 8% by changing the allocations. I think it's worth looking into. This is essentially how I have my portfolio structured. I don't own all the stocks that I mentioned. I have some more ETFs and REITs. But with a group like this we're talking about starting the other 7.5% and for the positions that end up cutting their dividend from time to time, you have the other ones that raise their dividends on a consistent basis, so I should balance out.
@Duke_of_Prunes Жыл бұрын
My main concern about an 8% portfolio like you laid out is growth. Maybe you CAN pay your bills on 8% today, but what if you live another 10 or 15 years? I actually own several of your high yielding stocks like ENB and EPD, and am very pleased with their performance. But I also like to mix in some super growth stocks like Google and Microsoft, which I can gradually pad my income with -- on down the line.
@richardthemagician8991 Жыл бұрын
@@Duke_of_Prunes well it depends on your specific needs. Assuming you have a million dollars to invest as per the example in the video and assuming you're also ready to retire right now, how much more growth do you really need? Even if you did have good dividend growth at 4%, will you get to the 8% anytime soon? Even if you were able to double your dividend income with an extra 15 years added on to your life, it likely wouldn't reach the 8% yield on cost in time for you to actually enjoy it. And if you're younger and did not ready to retire like I am, 8% profit is still 8% profit that can be reinvested. I personally would rather have the 8% right now instead of waiting for the portfolio to yield 8%. But that's me. Again, it's all about specific needs which requires specific plans.
@land7776 Жыл бұрын
@@Duke_of_Prunes yes, an 8% yield port is not going to get you growth- in fact the group of stocks listed by the OP would not average 8% yield, unless they were very lopsided to a couple of the cos- it is a balancing act, and c 4% yield is about the sweet spot for safety, growth and yield
