Dividends from the stock market were a key motivator for me to start investing. In my view, if you make sound investments that generate additional income alongside dividends, you can eventually live off that dividend income without the need to sell assets. This approach not only provides financial security for yourself but also creates a lasting legacy for your children, giving them a financial advantage. Over the years, I’ve invested more than $600,000 in dividend stocks and continue to buy more, especially during market dips.
Hearing insights from seasoned investors who have successfully navigated market downturns is always reassuring. It can be challenging to see your portfolio fluctuate from gains to losses, but if you focus on high-quality companies and remain committed to your strategy, you'll be in a strong position to weather market volatility.
I completely agree, which is why I value working with an investment coach. Their specialized skills and deep understanding of risk management make it highly unlikely for them to underperform. Over the past two years, I’ve seen impressive gains of over $400K with the guidance of my investment coach.
I completely agree! That’s why it’s crucial to start investing while you still have a stable job or a steady income. Consistent investing, coupled with disciplined financial planning and smart allocation of resources, is essential for building long-term wealth.
I consistently recommend Rebecca Lynne Buie as my top choice. She is well-known for her expertise in financial markets and has an impressive track record. I highly endorse her services.
Hi! Are the $24/month on each or just overall between the three of them? How smart would it be to invest in these types of stocks to then use the dividends to pay off debt?
The $24 is for all 3 of them together, each month. Or $278 a year. Using the dividends to pay off debt is something you can do. It just depends on the interest of the debt, so if it is charging 13% and you're earning 11% it might not be worth it. But the inverse would be. However, the only thing to keep in mind is it's not certain that stock prices or dividends will remain the same. They could drop. So you always have to consider that 😊. Up to you, but personally I'd look to keep my investments and debt not inter-dependant on each other.
Any fears of the exchange rate changing when you need to withdraw (such as going back to around R13 per USD like it did in 2019 and 2020)? I guess you'd just have to wait it out and hope the rand continues to remain weak.
It's always a possibility. We never know the future. But historically the dollar has always outperformed the rand. In just the last 5 years the dollar has grown by 28% against the rand. And that includes those years you mentioned. So personally I think the dollar will continue to outperform the rand over the long term. But even if that's not the case, I have a large rand portfolio as well. So I guess it's hedged 😊
Growth stocks are a tough one because there are so many things that influence them. But personally I've been investing in the magnificent 7 (Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Nvidia, AMD, Amazon, Tesla) and I anticipate decent growth in 2025 for my own portfolio. You never know, but I've taken that diversified approach 😊
Tell me what you think of Satrix Bond ETF. STXGOV. Dividends 8.71. Low risk. Interest rates is coming down plus is performance is more than 10 percent average over 3 years. So 10 percent per year plus the dividends is good
It is absolutely brilliant! And I know it's got a lower price volatility as well, so it's a good solid long term investment 🙌 yeah I'm a big fan of it, well worth having in your portfolio 😁!

You absolutely can. If you watch my second last video about a dividend stock with 11.5% dividends, that would do it 😊
