My $2,000 Dividend Stock Portfolio (Month 2 - Update)

In this video, I'll share with you my second month update of investing $1,000 each month to build my new Dividend Stock Portfolio. I'll be investing another $1000 early in May into dividend stocks, so stay tuned for that video.

I appreciate ur transparency, great content no BS :)

[@FinanceByRob]

I appreciate it and yes, nothing to hide :)

[@keoneeweyummy9610]

Really enjoy your walkthrough it feels like I’m buying those shares too with the progress excitement 😂

[@FinanceByRob]

Thank you very much and I'm glad you're enjoying being a part of the process :)

So you are primarily investing in long term growth with the benefit of dividends. In dividend stocks I would buy $O (5,65% dividends) for example. Depending on your country, which is probably the US some high performing EU dividend stocks like BMW and MBG aren't as profitable cause of the additional withholding tax of around 15%. There are also companies that primarily focus on dividend and A stocks, like Dividend 15 Split Corp from Canada, with an annual return of around 17-18% in dividends.
Anyways it's a solid portfolio for long term growth 👍

Thanks for your comment and feedback. You're right, for my dividend portfolio, I don't just focus on companies that may pay the highest dividends. I am trying to buy the companies that I know about myself and the ones I think will grow too. I don't want to lose money on the stock price decline just because I'm chasing the highest dividend yield ratio :)

Hey Rob, is there a particular strategy you are using when buying your stocks?

[@FinanceByRob]

I posted a video a few months ago about 10 things (5 financial and 5 non-financial) that I look for deciding to invest in companies. Most of the time, I try to invest in companies that I'm a customer of myself. Also, I like to pick companies where I can see a consistent growth in their annual revenues over a long period of time.

Is buying shares one or two much better than bulk buying?

[@FinanceByRob]

I am only investing a limited amount of $1,000 a month but also want to diversify my portfolio. I could have invested $1,000 each month all in 1 company only, but then there's a risk that the company may go down. This way I'm spreading my risk.

Can you share the spreadsheet setup please

[@FinanceByRob]

Sure thing, how can I share with you?

[@Vladimir0620]

Thank you

[@ohsoswervo3618]

@@FinanceByRob could i get that spreadsheet by any chance

[@jd1338]

Just wanted to know, is your dividend paid daily? Or weekly? monthly? Thanks

[@FinanceByRob]

Most companies pay dividends once a quarter. But the exact timing varies for each company, resulting in staggered payments throughout the year. This means I may receive dividend payments each month, if one of my companies has their dividend distribution during that month.
