Dividends are dope. Personally, I sometimes use my dividends to buy other dividend and growth stocks for diversification instead of reinvesting in the same stock. To each their own methods though. The good thing is that you’re investing in the first place and that’s what’s important. Salute for the content!
Dividend stocks can definitely be a great way to generate income in retirement. The idea is that you invest in companies that regularly pay dividends, and then you use those dividends as a steady income stream. If you pick the right stocks, they can provide a relatively stable and predictable income, which is perfect for retirees.
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.
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

I appreciate it. After searching her name online and reviewing her credentials, I'm quite impressed. I've contacted her as I could use all the help I can get. A call has been scheduled.
Thanks for your video I just retired at 67 and will take my SS at 70. My plan is to use 3 buckets Bucket1 - Cash (money market funds) to cover my spending for the 3 years before SS starts. I also have a part time retirement job to reduce the amount I need in bucket1 Bucket2 - Enough divident funds to have a dividend income to supplement my SS to handle my spending. Bucket3 - The remainder in Growth Funds for long term growth. I will adjust my buckets every quarter. Examples Up Market If the growth funds increase more than the dividend funds I may move some money from growth to dividend. Down Market If the dividend funds drop less than the growth funds I many move some money from dividend to growth. But I will keep enough dividend funds so I have enough to supplement my SS to handle my spending. Also remember at some point our SS will drop when one of us dies. So I will need forecast what our spending will be and how much dividend income will be needed.
Excellent video! One of the best explanations of the strategy I have seen. Have been building income stream since 2012 and now my wife and I can live off dividends without selling any stock. We do have some cash invested in CD’s and MMA’s for unexpected expenses.
The shear amount of dividend obsession on Twitter is wild!!! Troy did an excellent job of walking through the logic and fundamentals of dividend investing and why it can make sense for people to incorporate into their retirement strategy. Wonderful video and examples!
Thanks Brad! We sometimes do 'Comments Answered' videos so we may be able to address it then! Otherwise, we'll add it to our topic idea list. Thanks for watching!
(2) of the dividend aristocrats yoy listed habe cut their dividend (AT&T amd WBA), amd 3M probably will duribg their health care spin off. But dividend growth stocks are great still! Great video!
I am doing dividends stocks and will continue to do it in retirement. But a lot of it , will be in Roth. So not only will it be nice to receive dividends payouts. It will be completely tax free , when I withdraw it.
So the question would be why not invest for growth, and then, when you retire, take money out of your growth, part of your portfolio and buy dividend, paying stocks are ETFs It would seem that you would come out where your head doing it this way, rather than dollar cost averaging into dividend paying stocks are ETFs Troy could you comment on that because I would guess that would be the question most people would ask Great presentation by the way thank you
Or just invest in growth companies and take exactly how much income you want/need. Then you're in control. You don't end up with an excess that affects other areas, like IRMA, etc. The value of the fund goes up more than a dividend fund, too.
You can do whatever you want. You need to choose good businesses that will grow over the long term. I like dividend paying stocks (Microsoft, Visa, Starbucks, Trow, Abbvie, Blackrock, Target, McDonalds etc). One great thing is I never have to sell, but I always have the ability to do so. Plus I receive money when the company is down. Investing in Amazon, Google and Tesla is fun when they're up 75-200%. Not so fun when they're down 50%. If you are going to go growth you need to have iron hands, and need to time your sells well or you will be the average investor (1-2% per year). Dividend investing on the other hand is simpler. You invest, they give you a dividend, you invest more. One day you turn off the drip and collect the dividends. Easy peezy.
Growth is less certain than dividends. Many growth companies are priced for growth - they are trading at 25-30 times earnings, implying growth of 10-15% over the next 10 years. Many of them, however, turn out to be duds, and eventually the market catches on and their price drops dramatically. This is especially likely to happen if the overall market goes down.
Hey @missouri6014, @normswan5806, @joespath2303, @vinyl1Earthlink! Thanks for watching and for the discussion - it would be too much to go through in the comments section, but we often do 'comments answered' videos, so hopefully we'll be able to make one for this video soon and address some of the things you're talking about in an upcoming video!
You really did a great job in explaining. I own 3,000 shares of Abr aka Arbor Realty. It accounts for less than 3 percent of our portfolio. The Div is 13.4 percent. What’s your opinion of investing in this high payer?
Thank you for your kind comment. We cannot provide specific investment advice without learning more about your current, overall situation. Feel free to contact our office to speak with one of our advisors. If we are a good fit, we would be happy to provide our assistance.
Dividend investing has made me millions now I am retired at 61 enjoying almost over 200K in dividends every year. Don't go for those high-yielding stocks, go for aristocratic stocks that will continue raising their dividend. Stocks like PM, PG, J&J, Abbvie, and stocks like QCOM, Apple, MSFT will continue a great growth story while paying you a growing dividend.
I’m 32 and investing for the first time in my life. I have started contributing to my 401K and opened a Roth IRA with automatic contributions, but my question is, does asset allocation really matter at first, or perhaps am I just overthinking as a beginner?
Right, I once downplayed the role of advisors until suffering 40% portfolio loss amid covid-outbreak. At once, I consulted a license professional and my portfolio got revamped thankfully. As of today, I'm just about 10% shy of $1m after 100s of thousands invested.
thank you for this great video! a question please: is the percentages rate of return shows on the stocks have included the dividend rate or dividend rate is additional for added to the returned rate??
Total rate of return includes the dividend into it. For an example. If the sp500 has a 11.5% rate of return and a 1.5% dividend. Its actually a 10% capital gains return and the 1.5% dividend together.
This video is missing the mark on a few points. If you have a 1M portfolio and withdraw at 4%, that means that you are depending on the stock market to go up by 6.5% per year while withdrawing 4% - leaving 2% to continue to grow the portfolio. LIkewise if you have a 1M portfolio with AMLP which yields 7.5%, you can withdraw the same 4% but keep 3.5% invested to keep growing the portfolio. There is risk in both approaches. The only "risk free" approach is to buy treasury bonds which are safe until our government goes bankrupt due to unconstrained spend.
Dividend/Dividend Growth will allow me to retire and live 100% off dividends and defer SS until later and never touch my principal. I do not understand why more CFPs don't suggest this and instead always talk about the 4% rule or the bond + stock method.
Great video. I am an experienced investor who has been in the market for a long time. I don't need help from financial professionals, but if I did, I would seriously consider you for seeking advice. Thank you.
To achieve a secure retirement, aiming to save at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) is advisable. Online tools can assist in calculating the best savings strategy for you, considering factors like age and income. Consistently saving this percentage can help build your retirement fund effectively, thanks to the benefits of compound interest.
Not so. As I found out when interest rates went up the face value fell substantially just like any bond. True, the interest rate on the TIPS went up but it hasn’t come close to making up the loss of principal.
You guys need to talk to regular people, how many people actually have a million dollars when they retire. I am 63 and planning to retire next year. I don’t owe anyone anything, and I have some money in CD’s and want to invest about $50000 , what would you recommend to get me the most money for supplemental cash.
ETF. SCHD is good one. 3.5% yield roughly, and grows about 10% every year. Very safe with really good growth and don't have to worry about indivivual companies

Thanks so much, @bluecollarbudgets!
Dividend growth investing is the best! Plus as you said, you can’t go wrong investing in index fund ETFs
Great video, excellent explained for those under 50yrs old, for the long term investors. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the kind words, @8Lynch47! We're glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for this. Clear and easy to understand
No problem, Wendy! We're glad that it helped! Thanks for watching.
Wow!! Im learning a lot from this video!! Thank you!
thank you for a clear explanation of how dividend growth investing works..
You're welcome, @johnyjsl9219! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this excellent video about dividend investing! Greetings from Cascais/Portugal.
Thank you! This is the best video I have seen on this subject.
Thanks Luke! We're glad it helped! Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much. Your explanation is great, and nicely. Thanks for teaching us
Thanks for the compliment @skysyc1922, we're happy it helped!

Hi Joe, thanks for watching and for the update! We're glad you enjoyed the video.
SCHD, VOO, VGT 40/30/30
Thanks for watching!
I would add in Qqqm and spread a little into Msft Goog and Amzn
That’s a great portfolio…if I had $5 million to work with!

This was very informative. I plan to stay in VOO into retirement and it pays a nice dividend along with impressive returns.
That would be for around 70% of portfolio and the rest in NVDA, AMZN, MSFT
Thanks for weighing in, Patty! Glad it helped.
Great Video From start to finish. If you have $30,000 starting cash to invest how would you allocate it in different sectors?

There’s a lot to decide on, although most times as a beginner, it is better to delegate your day-to-day investing to a financial advisor
Right, I once downplayed the role of advisors until suffering 40% portfolio loss amid covid-outbreak. At once, I consulted a license professional and my portfolio got revamped thankfully. As of today, I'm just about 10% shy of $1m after 100s of thousands invested.
I do understand dividends paying out or reinvest. How do, say, SP500 Index fund pay out , or reinvest to increase shares.
Thank you.
I was wondering about taxes. If you reinvest the dividends is the dividend tax deferred?
More financial advisors should promote this rather than total dolars
thank you for this great video! a question please: is the percentages rate of return shows on the stocks have included the dividend rate or dividend rate is additional for added to the returned rate??
Would you please answer the question??
Total rate of return includes the dividend into it. For an example. If the sp500 has a 11.5% rate of return and a 1.5% dividend. Its actually a 10% capital gains return and the 1.5% dividend together.

Hi, great video. Can you make a video to help people retire early like at 50 years old from dividends. The pros and cons . Thanks in advance.
Hi @alexanderviltrez3979, thanks for watching! We'll definitely add it to the topic list.
hi what would you recommend if someone had 150k to invest in retirement?
Great video, but the bright blue light on the back is killing my eyes 😅
Why not just buy VYM? 30 year returns of 9.9% with a 2.9% dividend ?
This video is missing the mark on a few points. If you have a 1M portfolio and withdraw at 4%, that means that you are depending on the stock market to go up by 6.5% per year while withdrawing 4% - leaving 2% to continue to grow the portfolio.

Dividend/Dividend Growth will allow me to retire and live 100% off dividends and defer SS until later and never touch my principal. I do not understand why more CFPs don't suggest this and instead always talk about the 4% rule or the bond + stock method.
Can you elaborate?

Why not just do treasuries, TIPS with no downside risks if you are closer to or in retirement
Not so. As I found out when interest rates went up the face value fell substantially just like any bond. True, the interest rate on the TIPS went up but it hasn’t come close to making up the loss of principal.

Thanks @user00165!
High Dividend Funds are excellent for generating income. Thats Funds .. not individual stocks.
T has cut its dividend.
Hi Michael! Thanks for the update and for watching!
