The Dividend Snowball: How Dividends Multiply Your Money

[@jerrycampbell-ut9yf]

Dividends are what got me into investing in the stock market. 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. Have over $600K in my portfolio as I bought a lot of dividend stocks before, I'm buying more now, and I will buy more when it drops further

[@Peterl4290]

As a new investor it's always great to hear from a person who has gone through all the difficult times and come ahead of it. it's unnerving to see your portfolio go from green to red but as mentioned if you have invested in quality names just have to keep adding to them and stay the course.

[@larrypaul-cw9nk]

A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.

My dividend journey began when I realized that two particular expenses in my budget were always going to go up and never go down. The two expenses were taxes and insurance. I realized that the dramatic rise in both will need some added income. So, I started buying shares paying dividends. I can now see that this will be the path I need to take to make sure those two expenses will not overtake my future income.

As a beginner, educate yourself, Learn the basics of investing and the stock market. There are many resources available online, including books, articles, and online courses. It’s a good idea to diversify your portfolio across different stocks and sectors to minimize risk. I’ve heard of people accruing over $550k during recessions and inflation, its important to do your own research.

Yes, I've been in constant touch with a Financial Analyst for approximately 8 months. You know, these days it's really easy to buy into trending stocks, but the task is determining when to sell or keep. That's where my manager comes in, to help me with entry and exit points in the industries I'm engaged in. Can’t say I regret it, I’m 40% up in profits just in 5months with my initial capital of $160k

One topic that people often don't mention in dividend investing is that as the price goes up over time, it also goes down in peaks and valleys. So when it goes down, your drips have a higher yield and thus buy more shares with the money. When the price returns to the peaks, you now have more shares than you would have if the price went up at a linear rate. Therefore each roll of the snowball picks up more.

You know, the comparison between $KO and a double digit yielder isn’t fair. Because high yield stocks pay out 90% or more of earnings so a more fair comparison would be to collect $KO’s dividend and sell equivalent to 90% of their earnings (or cash flow) in total. Basically, it’s like reinvesting all your high yield dividends except 2% or whatever KO pays. A rule of thumb is to compare dividend yield + annual growth rate and whichever is higher is the better investment to live off of. Maybe this is harder to explain via comment…

Once I get through this rough patch I'm fixing to get into dividends too. 👍🏼

[@mysteryfighter1893]

A flaw with this calculator is that for the Dividend yield it assumes that the Dividend yield will remain constant with the share appreciation. Meaning say a stock is 100$ and the dividend yield is 5% and the stock appreciates to 110$ this calculator assumes that you will still be paid 5% of 110 but that’s not the case, because as shares appreciate the yield goes down unless the company raises their by the same amount

[@Blackberie]

That’s why you need to look for dividend kings and aristocrats

[@mjs28s]

We of course, mystery, but there are times when the price of a stock might be oversold / undervalued, which would mean the yield is higher and DRIP purchases more shares and then there are times when the price is pushed up / overvalued and the yield is lower. Realty income, for example - the 5% yield is more than fair for the exercise here. You also could have bought O over 6% many a time or if you were buying during the financial crisis rather than hiding out like the FOMO investors do, you could have been picking Realty income up with an 11% yield at its peak and well over 5.6% for a nice 7 year period around the financial crash (a few years leading up to then during and a couple after). So I would say that 5.9% is fair for the example.

[@mysteryfighter1893]

@@mjs28s Yes of course, but look what that calculator is doing when you increase the expected annual share price. Use a number e.g. 20%, which of course is ridiculous. Now the annual dividend income will rise dramatically because the calculator still assumes a 5.9% Dividend Yield. The way the calculator works is missleading.

[@vohbovohborian28]

This is absolutely crucial to understand and is the very reason why the increase in dividends in the example given was so big (almost twice the historical dividend growth). In the last 30 years Realty Income went from $0.9 per year per share to $3.08 per year per share, a growth of 242%, while in the example given in the video this growth over 30 years was from $3.09 to $17.00, a growth of 420%. The stock appreciated by about 500% in this time, meaning the expected dividend yield percentage went down in those 30 years (from 10.77% in 1994 to 5.9% in 2024). If this trend would continue you would not get anywhere near the stated numbers in the example in 30 years. In addition, the impact of taxes on dividend compounding is in one word ENORMOUS, and must be taken into consideration to have an example that is at all representative.

I think it might not always be the best to reinvest dividends to exactly the stock they came from. The share price at one point might be too high to get a meaningful yield out of it. That's why I redecide monthly into what stock the payments go into. I usually look out for undervalued positions, but not exclusively.

[@Jbig1430]

Same here I reinvest manually I would prefer to buy more into a position that is down as it brings the cost avg down or to get another div stock that is at a good value to diversify a bit trying to have about 5 to 7 div paying stocks overall and 1 to 2 growth.

[@Draylis64]

Curious, with alot of my investments that pay Div's at close to all time highs, why automatically reinvest the Div's? I shut off the auto reinvest and save the Div's for when the stock or etf has a bad day (dip), then use the Div's to buy more at a cheaper price. Yes I understand this would work well for a passive investor, but do any active traders really auto reinvest in this situation? Still new to this but always learning. If I'm missing something, let me know. Thanks for the Vid!

Unless your holding onto 3,000$+ to buy dips, It's not going to beat cost averaging. Your wasting time you could be using in a side hustle, to make more and invest more. I make 65/hr as a part time handy man, But that's after I clock out of my 25/hr. apartment maintenance job.

It is worth noting, that over a 30 year period. Simply owning a growth fund would be a better idea.

Of course, the market could perform differently in the future, but after over 100 years, there is no reason to believe that it will.

[@The_Dissident]

As far as raising your portfolio balance, I'll grant that. However, you must then sell your holdings in order to pay yourself. Or are you insinuating that you liquidate your growth funds upon retirement and 'then' acquire dividend paying holdings?

[@CalmerThanYouAre1]

@@The_Dissident you could really do either, but the data clearly shows selling shares as needed is the better way to go from a total return standpoint, especially after considering the higher taxes and fees associated with high income holdings. High quality growth companies have been more volatile, but the stronger upside performance has more than made up for selling a small percentage in a down market to produce income. Do your own back testing. The results speak pretty loudly for themselves. I like a combo of pure growth and low yield dividend growth. QGRW/DGRW or VGT/DGRO, for example. And I keep 10% or so in cash equivalents and alternatives to smooth the ride, cover emergencies and jump on real estate opportunities. SGOV, SVOL, etc for that bucket. I also overwrite my portfolio at 10-15% with tactical options plays for an additional 1-2% overall yield. The extra income buys more of whichever fund is out of balance from an allocation standpoint. Or gets spent on lifestyle purchases. This strategy along with my rental real estate portfolio has done very well for me over the years. We hit FI a long time ago and don’t plan on changing this strategy anytime soon.
