[@Chrissers2010]

As a 59 year old, growth dividend investor, I really love your content! My dividend journey has only been the past few years as I have been converting other assets into high quality growth dividend stocks. I wish I had started much earlier and keep touting your channel to my sons.

[@Dividendology]

Best of luck to you! Thanks for watching!

[@ToneOfWig]

Thanks!

[@Dividendology]

Wow! Thank you so much!

[@confusedzentradi]

I don’t understand SCHD. Yield is 3.42%. Someone explain why more than half the portfolio is invested in such low yield.

[@BBStats]

Because growth is more important than yield in the beginning. Once you transition to living off dividends, then you switch from growth to yield.

[@confusedzentradi]

@@BBStats My confusion is that SCHD seems to be geared towards dividends, not growth. However, the yield seems really low?

[@magicsmoke0]

I'm a bit confused by something: at 0:48, your investment dashboard shows the total market value of your portfolio at $163,171 and considering the date this was posted, this seems to be at the start of March, 2024. Now, looking at 15:46, the forecast chart shows it starting at $162,500, which is very close to your current portfolio value, except the date says Jan 2023, over a year ago, and when you find March 2024, it forecasts the Account value to be ~$220,187. What am I missing?

[@Dividendology]

I just need to update the dates on the forecast chart :)

[@PlaybookEmpire]

It always feels good collecting those big juicy dividend paychecks. Pure passive income.

[@ohkayw]

Not if u r reinvesting them! Lol. Its a dilemma: do u keep the dividends for spending? Or reinvest to grow for later? Lol😅

[@PlaybookEmpire]

@@ohkayw I reinvest all my dividends right now. To spark up the compound interest and the snowball effect. But technically speaking yes, I still collect, I just throw them right back in to receive a bigger dividend paycheck next cycle due to me purchasing more shares because of the reinvestment plan and the drip I have setup

[@scottleggejr]

DRIP plz 😉 ​@@ohkayw

[@ginza1422]

looks like tax was not considered here, living expenses = dividend income is not the break point where you can live off of dividend income because tax will chop some of it down even further. How is dividend earnings taxed? thanks

[@tten8192]

if your sole income is qualified dividends under $40k they are not taxable

[@johnbeeck2540]

Definitely need to consider future inflation averaging 3% or higher... Good information overall!

[@Dividendology]

You may be right! Thanks!

[@nicholaskarlson4510]

What is that application that shows you the stock information that you use almost every video but specifically in this one at 6:55

[@Dividendology]

[@errettfitchett2463]

It might be wise to increase your inflation rate to 2.25% to be safe. The 30 year inflation rate is slightly higher than 2%

[@Dividendology]

Good thought!

[@billcarruth8122]

Yield on cost is one way to look at your returns. Looking at your current yield might be more useful for evaluating your opportunity cost.

[@cmcgraw00]

I asked this a while back but did not have the time to follow up with it. I assume this is in a brokerage account not an IRA if you are able to add what you add each month. What then are taxes like on all of the dividends you are generating (very well I might add)? Does this not eat into what your total return is month after month? Also with cap gains? Do you sell off some losses to offset? I really like dividend growth investing but am wondering about the taxes side of it.

[@BehindTheScenes235]

I wish he would answer this

[@cleqz]

How do you approach the reinvesting part of the dividends as well as the 2.5k you invest per month?

[@portfoliotalk8114]

Cat wm micro and ko are good

[@jackrizzi6542]

Why SCHD and not VIG? Especially if u r focused on dividend growth. I’m not sure tbh but I would think VIG has a higher dividend growth rate compared to SCHD as an etf dividend growth rate

[@viperabacillo3068]

When you use ticker data do you have to manually enter all information into spreadsheets or does it pull in from your accounts, aka can it be linked someway?

[@Nick-tm2sw]

He said the goal was 25.

[@EightUp000]

I’m still confused about why anyone would focus on dividends and not growth. It’s less tax efficient and provides 0 benefits, and has a lower return over the long run before you even consider taxes. Edit: I understand the point once you’re actually living off of them, but why not use growth stocks until then, sell them, and then buy dividends?

[@striperkid]

I'm kinda on that thought process. Most of my bigger holdings in my portfolio are growth stocks.

[@davidj8555]

i have similar thoughts. i do keep a portion in dividends cause the dividends are tangible and i feel a bit of a hedge

[@kclam7212]

Hey. Do you reinvest the dividends into the same company or do you buy other company shares? Thanks.

[@Dividendology]

I typically reinvest right back into the business

[@potatoesandgravy7021]

Curious why you are holding JEPI for the long run considering your investing philosophy? Probably not going to have the divy growth, and not being a qualified divy hurts a little more on the tax side too.

[@Dividendology]

JEPI is a good hedge against downward and sideways markets, but as I further evaluate the fund, it may be on the chopping block to be replaced by dividend growth holdings.

[@hej8888hej]

In the "future portfolio Outlook" do you account for the 2.5k that you contribute to the account in your cost of living?

[@Optimised7]

Hello @dividendology, thank you for sharing your insights. I am confused though, how does a company continually grow a dividend? Surely that’s impossible? It’s like me saying my stock price will just go up and up? So is there something we are missing? Do we have to swap out that company once it becomes high yield to a low yield company? Thanks

What might be interesting to add to future monthly reports is an effective annualized return (ROI on portfolio with stock price growth + DRIP). Including this on the projection/forecast chart can also help folks compare to other trading strategies' ROI.

[@stanley9334]

But.... why not just spend the money when you retire. Are you just going to leave this large amount in the portfolio forever and live off dividends and then when you die there is a lot of money unspent?

[@cali4tune]

Real Estate is good because interest rates are high? What about all that commercial real estate? hmm. You would make more by putting the full 160k into short term US Treasuries that are paying >5% which is better than what you are getting now. You are getting around 5k for 160k of assets? @ 5% with Treasuries on the full 160k your looking at more like 8k for the year. Treasuries also have some tax advantages like not being subject to State tax and depending on your state that can be big. Really hard to beat Treasuries right now.

Hi, great video and content as always. One question that I have is, do you have an estimated long term compounded annual return goal? I ask because it makes a huge difference if you compound 7% vs 10% vs 12% per year. Curious on what you estimate your portfolio being able to grow with your current allocation and strategy. Much appreciated! have an awesome day. =)

[@Spawny500]

U sound like a young guy. U should be more growth oriented right now, of course depending on ur situation. If u have no short term use for these assets, u might look at growth oriented holdings such as Nvidia, Palantir, maybe some other semi conductor stocks such as Marvell and AMD. U may also consider increasing ur positions in Microsoft and Apple. A growth or growth and income oriented strategy can enhance ur portfolio value over time and thus allow u to switch to a dividend strategy when ur older. Of course, be mindful of all risks when investing and diversify ur holdings to reduce risks.

@Dividendology earnings to equity costs are horrid since the great global money print caused by moderation in global interest rates and oversized growth in ever deeper pools of capital chasing too few valuable assets higher in value, while earnings have not kept apace. Indeed the global economy has not kept apace rises in asset values. I believe equities will step down, only held by the deep pools of capital. Is a reason Buffet and Corps sit on piles of cash. The world is ovwrinveated against diminishing demand dynamics not least of cost push inflation from easy credit terms for those able to borrow pushing up assets for which they want income. But their is a divergence between values and yields have continued to decline proportionally. Just don't see the buying proposition for equities until a substantial dip, ....along with trends toward deglobalizarion I see emphasis of finance and refocusing on the Real, rather than financial economy. When the dip comes? One need be careful what one chooses, to be sure, for the purpose of income, to place capital on the right side of what is trending. Finance and Globalization are abject failures.
