How I Created A Monster Dividend Portfolio

[@JosephCarlsonShow]

But Joseph! You contribute a lot of money to your portfolio!! Yes, of course I do! I have said from the start that I make investing my extra cash a top priority in my life. I put every penny of extra money I make through KZbin, Patreon, software development, or my wife working as a Nurse, into investments. And I've been consistent in saying that I think everyone should do the same. There's many people in my community building their portfolio at a faster rate than me, some of them work at big tech companies. And there's many people building their portfolio at a slower rate. Both are fine. Just keep building your portfolio as fast as you're able to! Try out the Patreon here: www.patreon.com/josephcarlson Patreon includes: - Over 100 exclusive videos, and new ones every week. - Full access to Qualtrim.com, the stock analysis website I built from the ground up - Transparent portfolio updates, with every buy and sell I do, as well as monthly one-pager updates. - Access to the Joseph Carlson Show private discord community, with 6,500 members The patreon comes with a free trial.

People mad ab how much you contribute need to stop projecting.

[@samonaro65]

So your average rate of return is below 4% since starting in 2017 Dec and dividend is even far less... and so comparing your performance of saving vs the S&P500 isn't exactly accurate right? I do my own also since 2020 jan and need to make sure I get this straight also. I guess if it was a closed amount that'll give a more accurate rate of return vs the s&p500. Content otherwise has always been premium stuff thanks a lot.

[@KennedyVerbruggen]

like investing in close-end funds that pay monthly dividends. The trick is to hold long term and reinvest the monthly dividends plus buy more shares on a monthly basis or when ever you can afford to. This can be easily done because close-end funds are bought and sold on the stock market just like regular stock. That’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between $50k to $70k in dividend income

[@type-r3x]

Just because there are opportunities in the market doesn’t mean you should go in blindly. To understand the potential factors that contribute to your financial growth, I'll advise you to seek the help of a professional

[@belobelonce35]

I totally agree. That is the main reason I employed the service of financial advisor, seeing that their skill set is centered on going long and short at the same time, with the ability to identify and mitigate potential risk on and threat on my assets, employing risk for the asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge for the inevitable downward turns. I have netted a whooping 2.2million in 2years of working with my advisor, and I am not even doing much.

[@firefighter-i6q]

who is your advisor please, if you don't mind me asking?

[@belobelonce35]

Well, there are a few out there who know what they are doing. I tried a few in the past years, but I’ve been with "Mary Ebi Ahearn’" for the last five years or so, and her returns have been pretty much amazing.

Two ideas to help you grow your channel: First one is to make stock analysis a thing. We all love hearing you talk about the stocks, but hearing about the same companies can get a little bit boring. I suggest once a month or every two weeks you make a poll for us to pick a stock and then make a video about it. It would make a channel a bit fresher for people who are with you for some time. Second one is Passive Income's portfolio 1 million special. I think a lot of us would love a story of how you got into investing and how your strategy changed over time :)

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. $52k dividends received in 2022.

[@kevinmarten]

I agree! That's why it is advisable that you have to invest while you still have a regular job or earning a regular income, and do it constantly. You still need to have something that will keep you going even if you're investing. Good financial planning and money allocation is the key.

[@Jamessmith-12]

The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic.

[@tatianastarcic]

I would think that a major benefit of dividend investing is that calculating portfolio size needed is not relevant. We don't care about the value of the portfolio. We care about the sustainable income it pays. As you invest you can gradually see the income rise as you invest more and pull the retirement trigger when it's high enough regardless of the market sentiment.

[@TinaJames222]

By calculating how much additional income the contributions produce and estimating how that income rises. the capital value will fluctuate up and down over time so the amount of income new additions give you varies. so capital value being high with a market yielding 2% is no worse for retirement than the same portfolio at a different timepoints where the capital value is half and so the yield is 4%. so long as the yield is sustainable in real terms the capital value being half does not matter. its the same income stream at a different moment of low market sentiment vs high market sentiment.

[@nicolasbenson009]

To turn $500,000 into $1,000,000, you need a sound investment strategy. Diversifying your investments across a mix of asset classes like stocks, bonds, and real estate can help.

[@JosephCarlsonShow]

Rate of return is a difficult concept to grasp. And it's way more complex than simply taking the total value and dividing it by the gains. When people make these simple calculations they are missing the factor of time, which without time, you have no rate of return for the money put at work. Time weighted return is the standard that all hedge funds calculate returns by, including every ETF and Buffett. Here's how you calculate time weighted returns: Calculate the rate of return for each sub-period by subtracting the beginning balance of the period from the ending balance of the period and divide the result by the beginning balance of the period. Create a new sub-period for each period in which there is a change in cash flow, whether it's a withdrawal or deposit. You'll be left with multiple periods, each with a rate of return. Add 1 to each rate of return (this simplifies handling negative returns). Multiply each sub-period's rate of return together. This step is crucial to ensure the returns across different periods are compounded. Subtract 1 from the result to calculate the TWR. The official formula is found here: www.investopedia.com/terms/t/time-weightedror.asp

I earn 12K a month in dividends. I am getting ready to eventually retire and live on my dividends. I just reinvest the dividends for now, but eventually I will take about 50% of it to live comfortably along with our 2 SS checks and pensions. Your dividend portfolio is built on strong growth and value companies. One way to boost your dividend income is to use ETF's like SPYI - QQQI - YMAG along with companies that pay more dividends than yours like BAM - HESM - SLG - BXSL - TFC - etc.... Allocating conservative percentages to the more risky ETF's like YMAG or QQQY while buying companies and ETF's that have higher dividends than the norm, you will do very well. If you do what Joseph has done and do more than one portfolio and set $$$$$$ aside to build a dividend portfolio to retire on, you will do very well,

[@kylen6430]

⁠@@honcho4329nah, 12k per month is about $150k per year. Even at an average dividend rate of 1.8% that’s still about 8m. But I’d imagine the dividend rate would be higher. At 3% it’s 5m. Still impressive, but not $10m+

[@ronaldreagan6756]

@@honcho4329 Check into armchair income - a channel on KZbin. I love both of Joseph's online portfolios. He is very wise and a good investor. He is young and in a growth / accumulation phase as an investor. When you get closer to retirement, you can do a portfolio designed to maximize dividend income like I did. Most of my ETFs and individual stocks pay between 5% and 15%. I have some in the 40-70% range which do synthetic covered calls /options. I try to keep these ETFs at 3-5% of the dividend portfolio. I have less than 1 million in my dividend portfolio with some of my assets in real estate and safer places like CDs, savings, and a REIT. I couldn't see doing the tradition 4% withdrawal system when there is so much money available in dividend investing. If you took Joseph's $750,000 for example, and bought QQQI at $49 a share you would own 15,306 shares. It pays .64 a share monthly. That is $9,795 monthly. QQQI pays 14%. dividend. I am not suggesting you put your whole $750,000 in QQQI - it is just an example of a different approach to use when you get. old like I am.

Oh yea for sure. With the business i'm running (KZbin/Patreon/Qualtrim), I have significant expenses, in taxes, and my developer. The developer alone is around 70k per year, taxes is more, and there's other stuff like data and hosting costs. I try to keep around 80-100k in savings at any given time. Just to make sure I never have to withdraw money out of my portfolio.

@@JosephCarlsonShowThat’s interesting that you were a developer, but you’ve hired/outsourced the development part of your business. I imagine because if you didn’t, you’d have little time for everything else. Did you at least code an MVP yourself before hiring the developer? I come from a similar background as yourself, and I have an idea for a software product but I think I’m going to have to outsource the development or I won’t have any time to work on the rest of the business.
