The classic intro!! I'm not sure you want to talk about it but it would be nice if you went deeper into how you accumulated the money to be able to invest this amount. Greetings from Belgium :)
I have a question that I am sure others do too. If the goal is live off dividends at a point the future say in 15-20 years. Does it not make more sense to generate more alpha (upside) over those 15-20 years in higher return assets like growth ETFs (QQQ, VGT, SPYG, etc.) or stocks and once you achieve the portfolio dollar amount that would allow you to live off dividends, re allocate those funds into higher dividend paying ETFs or individual stocks? In my experience dividend paying stocks tend to grow slower that higher growth stocks. I would love to live off dividends in the future, but getting there using dividend stocks seems to be a slower process. I know it may be safer and less volatile but, with a long enough time horizon, volatility should be expected and unimportant. I would love to hear your thoughts. I appreciate your video.
That's certainly a good option, but speaking for myself, I think it's important that I buy dividend stocks that have a high dividend growth rate now, even though I'm passing on raw share price growth. Dividend stocks with a high dividend growth rate often outperform the S&P 500 when you reinvest the dividends, and buying them early means you get a really good yield on cost on your investments. Over time, the share price and dividend payout will continue to go up, giving you more and more dividends. This is how people like Buffet yield more than 50% on Coca-Cola, if you exclusively focus on growth, you pass on locking in the yields now, and you have to rely on selling shares if you do need money for anything before you expected.
@@chimchu3232”if you focus on growth, you pass on locking in yield” Not exactly. Just look at GOOGL. They just recently started paying a dividend and have so much cash, they could afford to grow that, independently of FCF outlook near term. While the yield is low, The people that bought GOOGL a long time ago are getting a great yield on cost. If you don’t need the dividend income now, it’s a perfectly acceptable strategy to look for strong growth companies that demonstrate good FCF growth
Zack is time to invest on a hands free wireless mike. Thanks for all your hard work. I really follow you portafolio and base my buys on some of your stocks after doing some research. I remember when you bought Broadcom for less than $800 and asked myself, why you didn’t sold all your Disney and invested in Broadcom. I dumped Disney a while back and put my money some ETFs, BDCs and Reits. Just because I’m an older person that you, 63y/o but your portafolio is on point and you will be a millionaire sooner than Later. I wish I was as smart as you at your age. I would be in a very different place today.
great video! I can tell you're already much more comfortable in front of the camera than last week. I like seeing ur full portfolio I don't think I've seen it before
@@simplydividends I definitely don't recommend buying if you can't afford. Just focus on investing more and increasing income. However, I don't think the price is crazy at all if you're investing over a $1,000 a month. The goal of the tool is to help you find better stocks and stay consistent with tracking. Ideally, that will increase your investment return and more than pay for itself in gains. People spend the monthly price just going out to dinner. Plus you save $100 on the annual plan! Always trying to add more value
@DividendData I think one thing to consider is $200 a year and having a $20,000 portfolio is essentially adding 1% fee, $80,000 portfolio 0.25% fee. There's a few similar tools available for around $10 a month. Ultimately nothing really beats an etf long term anyway, self balancing by market cap, low fees and can reinvest dividends automatically. Was fun and useful for 5-10$ a month, just in my opinion can't justify $25 a month and I have a 6 figure portfolio
@@simplydividends Fair points. Not much of a current use if you're mostly or only ETFs anyway. Perhaps we will have a sale in the future 😉. You can lock in lifetime discounts when we do a sale.
What are the best strategies to protect my portfolio? I've heard that a downturn will devastate the financial market, so I'm concerned about my $200k stock portfolio.
There are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy situation, but such execution is usually carried out by an investment specialist
@@Jamesrobert627 I've been in touch with a financial analyst ever since I started investing. Knowing today's culture The challenge is knowing when to purchase or sell when investing in trending stocks, which is pretty simple. On my portfolio, which has grown over $900k in a little over a year, my adviser chooses entry and exit orders
@@EdmundEthan093 My CFA Claire Robert’s Durand , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
I'm completely self taught. Just googled and used online resources. The best way to learn is just by starting to work on something and learning as you go. I've found that with videos, programming, and investing.
IT is fine if your primary goal is to get income/cashflow. Note that options trading income is considered "regular income" which will add onto your current W2-related income and could mean a higher tax rate. Qualified dividends have a capped and typically lower tax rate and unrealized capital gain is not taxed (so far).
I try doing covered calls and secured puts, and sometime I get the call or put assigned :( Like for SBUX, when the share price was around 88$ I bought a $80 cash sec put and there you go got assigned 100 shares at 80$
I have 700$ in my dividend portfolio and am gonna invest about 350 to 500$ a week or so. I work fulltime and why not? I've been paper trading for 3 years now so I'm serious about it.
I also think Starbucks will be just fine and there's many examples of businesses being stagnant for a period of time before reaccelerating growth. Mcdonald's did nothing from 2000-2006. MSFT earlier in the 2010's.
I think a comparison showing *when* you "double the amount you invest" would be interesting. In other words, if you can double the amount the first 10 years, the impact on the result after 30 years compared to if you double your investing in the last 10 years (years 21 to 30).
If you invest more in the first 10 years, compared the last 10 years, then that would have a massive impact. Difference would be massive. Time is the friend of long term compounding.
This year, I will be on course to break past £1000 in dividends for the whole year. For me, this is the beginning of the point of no return for the dividend snowball..
The goal of this new video format is to do the exact opposite of that. Felt I was doing that too much previously. But yeah just unsub if you won't watch
SBUX was punished because of CEO’s poor performance in the post earnings interview, especially about failure to warn of impending bad results. So I bought more.
Something that a lot of dividend channels don’t go into is that the company declares its dividend in dollars, not percent. The yield percent is a function of share price, which is set by the market. This means price opportunities are also yield opportunities, and as a stock grows in popularity, its yield falls. Don’t take yield % as a promise from the company. The only promise is income in dollars.
SBUX has too much competition in the caffeine space in my opinion. Not to mention their products are basically sugar smoothies with a pinch of coffee. People who actually like coffee avoid Starbucks like the plague. Lastly, their products are way too expensive. Hope it works out for you though!
I've been a viewer for quite a while now. While I loved the old style of your videos, I also understand the need to balance time spent and the quality of results. I'm enjoying these new style videos too and believe that with time, you'll perfect them just as well. I've also been watching another TH-camr named Joseph Carlson who does similar style videos, and I find them quite enjoyable. You might want to check out his content for some inspiration and useful tips and tricks.
Just the start. Definitely will continue to improve with the new format. Appreciate the patience. I'm familiar with Joseph and he does a great job. However, I largely stopped watching other closely related creators so I can keep my own voice. Don't want to copycat.
Some Sbux and more ARCc and tiny bit of Main. @dividend data Zach thanks for this…future show request can we do analysis of BDC vs Reits and interest rates affecting them etc Thanks Zach 🤘🏼

Perhaps not. But the stock price itself still has more room to grow and so do profit margins.
