My shirt right here say dividends are dope. I'm making money right now. Listen, I've been doing dividend investing for quite some time now and there are a lot of dividend investors out there that just gonna start it and then they gotta go through the low points and the high points and they have this crazy, they're considering a monster dividend portfolio to be, oh, my portfolio is gonna bring in a dividend yield of 10%. My portfolio is gonna bring in a dividend yield of 11%. My monster portfolio is monster because it's bringing in such a high dividend yield. That's not a monster dividend portfolio. The portfolio I'm gonna show you how guys how to build today is monster because it's gonna stand the test of time and also it's gonna bring you in hundreds of thousands of dollars in dividends every single year by the time you're ready to retire guys. So if you wanna build a correct monster dividend portfolio, make sure you watch this from beginning all the way to end. You can pause it, go get your pen, go get your pay it, go get your iPad, your note paper, sticky notes, write it down, record it. Just play this video back and then let me get some more views, but yeah. So let's just go ahead and dive straight into it. Now, the first thing that I would tell you, new investors about dividend investing is that if you don't know anything about dividend investing and that you wanna grow your portfolio, you don't even know what dividends are. First of all, dividends is a form of payment that these companies pay back their investors, me and you, right? For saying, hey, thank you for investing inside of our company. Here's a little check. Now with these companies, it's by far the most passive form of income there is. I literally do nothing. I wake up and they put the money inside my account just like that, like once a week, sometimes twice a day, three times a day, money hidden in my accounts. The most passive form of income there is, if you're doing it right. Now, the other thing about dividend investing is that they have to dividend you. Now, if every company pay out the same amount of money, with the higher the yield, the higher they pay you in dividends. So if they have a 13, 14% dividend yield, you're gonna make a lot of money in dividends from this company. And if they have a lower dividend yield, like half a percent, they're not gonna make a lot of money from dividends, but the company might grow more in the future, right? So new dividend investors, they're gonna see that high dividend yield. They're gonna go buy that stock and then five, 10 years down the line when they're gonna not gonna be looking too good because it's not gonna stand the test of time. They're gonna end up losing money in long run chasing high dividend yield. Now, if you know nothing about dividend investing, you just found that what dividends are a highly suggest that you guys, while you're learning up on it, the easiest thing for you to do is to invest inside a high year dividend ETF. One of the coolest ones on YouTube right now is SEHD. It's a dividend ETF, the whole stocks that have a decent dividend yield inside their portfolio, you invest inside SEHD, they have a whole bunch of different companies inside their portfolio. So you're diverse across many different platforms, many different sectors, many different companies. You just invest inside that one ETF and you guys can make some dividend income that way every single quarter. Now I say quarter because there are different kind of dividend companies out there that are monthly paying dividend stocks and then they're quarterly paying dividend stocks. Monthly paying dividend stocks pay out their dividends every single month. I mean, every single month you're gonna be receiving a check from that one company. Now the quarterly paying dividend stocks usually the blue chip style companies they pay out their dividends every single quarter four times a year or once every three months. Now we're gonna be looking at both. Now, so they have monthly paying dividend stocks, quarterly paying dividend stocks and that itself. many of them, many different ones in between. Now, looking at some of the quarterly paying dividends stocks, take notes guys, there are many out there. There are some that are dividend kings and dividend aristocrats. Now dividend aristocrats, companies that are inside the S&P 500, the top 500 companies in America and they've increased their dividends every single year for the last 25 years, right? Amazing, they increased their dividends every single year for the last 25 years. And then there are dividend kings. Dividend kings are the same companies that's inside the S&P 500, but they increased their dividends every single year for the last 50 years. That mean every, no matter through recession, depression, pandemic, anything like that, they was able to increase their dividends, no matter how bad the economy was, they was able to increase their dividends. That's why a lot of people go and invest, they're building that monster dividend portfolio by just investing inside dividend kings. Is it safer? Yes, it's safer. But are you gonna make as much money? Probably not make as much money because they usually sometimes don't always have the best dividend yield. Now the reason people do invest inside dividend kings and dividend aristocrats is because other companies out there are at risk of getting their dividends cut. Remove completely our cut in half or cut by some percent or just don't raise their dividend yield at all. And that's why people that go and chase these high-paying dividend companies that have a 12% dividend yield. But then two, three years later, when you think you're doing well, they cut their dividends and then they cut their dividends in half from 12% to 6% you just lost half your income, buddy. You just lost half your income just because this company could not keep up with their dividends and they had to cut it. Now the reason that investing to high-year dividends is kind of scary is because, just imagine, a company is paying back the investors so much money, they're unable to take their earnings and reinvest it back inside of their company in order to grow the company, right? That company won't grow at all. The stock is gonna stay at the same price for the next 10, 15, 20 years because they can't grow their company because they're paying all of their money back to investors in dividends. Versus a company that has a lower dividend yield, they're only paying back the investors, hey, a little bit of a dividend yield, a little bit of change and they're taking most of that money to reinvest it back into the company and grow that company by 10-fold. Now you're making money from growth in that company and you're making money from this company increasing that dividend yield by small percents every single year. So the smartest way to build a monster dividend portfolio is to look at the 10-year growth rate of the companies that you are very interested into putting inside if you're a dividend portfolio. So we're gonna be looking at growth rate in this video and then we're gonna do a couple of examples, but let me explain some more dividends to you guys. There is a thing called real estate reach. Real estate reach, real estate investment trust companies, they invest inside the real estate sector, right? And by law, they have to pay back 90% of their taxable income in the form of dividends back to their investors. They usually have a high dividend yield and that's why a lot of people are attracted to them and they also pay out their dividends every single month. Most people run straight to them and say I have a monster dividend portfolio. It's only one or two in there that I really trust and that is the first one on this list, ticker symbol O, on real estate income. As known as the monthly paying dividend stock, there are dividend aristocrats there inside the S&P 500 and they increase their dividends every single year for the last 25 years. Another one that I like on this list that you guys are not gonna consider a dividend stock is Apple, right? They have such a low dividend yield probably like half a percent and people are gonna say no, that is not a dividend company. They have such a small percent, but Apple has increased their dividend growth by around six to seven. It was at 10% not too long ago for the last 10 years, I think last year, but they increased their 10 year growth rate by around like 8%. I'll look it up later on in this video. That is amazing to me because it's not too high, it's not too low. And they have an amazing growth rate in their dividends for the last couple of years and the growth in Apple is completely insane. So on one hand, you got the real estate reap that pays such a high dividend, but not gonna have a lot of growth. On the other hand, you have Apple that pays a low dividend. They pay dividend, but they pay a low dividend, but they're gonna have high growth in the future and a half a percent of a trillion dollar company is better than 10% of a billion dollar company because the percentage on a multi-trillion dollar company is gonna be completely amazing, especially when they continue to grow over time. So we're gonna pull up some stocks in this video, we're gonna look at their growth rate, then we're gonna show you an example on how you can make hundreds of thousands of dollars in dividend income from dividend investing. But before we pull that up, another big thing about dividend investing is that if you guys don't do this, you're screwed. You are screwed and that is the compound interest effect. You want to reinvest your dividends back into the company. Why would you not want to reinvest your dividends back into a company that you already trust, right? I'm gonna show you guys in this video that if you invest $10,000 or one-time investments of $10,000 inside a company and reinvest your dividends versus not reinvesting your dividends, a one-time investment of $50,000 and a one-time investment of $100,000, reinvesting your dividends and not reinvesting your dividends on how much money that you could be making in the future from hundreds of thousands of dollars to not so much money that you could live off of in the future. So let's go ahead and pull up a couple of stocks and I could show you guys how you could find these dividend growth rates, dividend yields, things like that in order for you to start to build your own dividend, your monster dividend portfolio. All right, here we are on seeking Alpha ticker symbol M.O. Altria Group, right there, $43.32. Let's just scroll down. Now, Altria, 54 years, they ain't stopped the SB 500. So whether they make them guys, they make them dividend kings. They've been increasing their dividends every single year for the last 54 years. They have an annual payout of $3.92 per share and a high amazing dividend yield of 8.99%. Now that is kind of high, but they've also still been able to increase their dividends every single year for the last 54 years. So are they at risk again, their dividends cut? They could be at risk again, their dividends cuts, but let's take a look at another one, Apple, right quick, at APL. And then I'm gonna show you guys the dividend growth rate. So Apple is at $170 every corner of this video. They've been increasing their dividends every single year for the last 10 years. And they have a dividend year of, like I said, half percent, 0.5%. Now, are they at risk again, their dividends cut? Probably no time soon, right? So let's look at the dividend growth right here. And we wanna look at the, there you go, growth rate over the last 10 years. And Apple is at 8.22%. Anything above like seven, six and a half is pretty good, but the 8.22 is amazing. Once you get to around the 10, that is something that you wanna do more research on to really add to your portfolio because the growth, if they continue up to 10 year growth every single decade for the next three decades of 10% growth rate, those dividends is gonna add up to where you could completely retire and do absolutely nothing and receive those dividend payments and live off of that. So we did look at Apple, let's pull back up MO. Out your group, there it goes, the 10 year growth rate for MO, 7.5%, not bad. I mentored to assemble O, it's probably not gonna be a high because they're real estate reed. 10 year growth, 3.81%, it's not the best. IBM is a pretty good one that I like. IBM have a growth rate over the last 10 years of 6.3%, a little lower than what I expected, but it's not bad. Microsoft MSFT, there you go, Microsoft right there has a 10.86% dividend growth rate over the last 10 years. Amazing, that's the double digits that we was looking for. We looked at Apple, let's look at Broadcom, which is what AVGO, AVGO. Now Broadcom, once we talk that in, they have over the last 10 years, they have a 35.28% dividend growth rate. So guys, when you're building out your dividend portfolio, your monthly dividend portfolio, don't always just, let's take a look at their dividend score card, there it goes, they've been increasing their dividends for the last 13 years and they have a dividend year of 1.58%. So just because they have a low percent, don't mean that they're not gonna increase it over time, especially over the last five years, the growth rate of a 17.49% is just pretty good. So these companies can increase it over time, you wanna look at the past statistics to kind of project towards their future statistics and you don't wanna invest into companies like QYLD that have a very high dividend year of 11.5% with a zero year growth rate with a negative 0.76 growth rate and a lot of people are investing inside QYLD every single day. I used to do it, I made a video about that and how I got in and got out alive and actually made money from it. But with QYLD, they have a negative growth rate, zero years growth, but they have a high dividend year and people are building these monthly dividend portfolios with high dividend stocks in there that pay out their dividends every single month. But in the long run, they're gonna be in trouble for it. So let's take a quick look, let's say we had $10,000, right? There we go, from 2000 to 2024, a one-time investment of $10,000. We're gonna reinvest our dividends into ticker symbol O, which is the monthly paying dividend, real estate REIT, Apple and MO, right? So this is us investing a one-time payment back in 2000, $10,000 into these three different companies. Gonna hit analyze portfolio and there it goes right there with just one-time investment, $200,000, $2.2 million. Of course, we all know Apple was gonna go crazy and $300,000, so let's see how much we'll be bringing in dividends. There we go, in 2023, with a reality income, you'll have $11,000 every single year. Apple, you'll have $12,000 every single year. In the Altria Group, you'll have $27,000 every single year. Yes, it's not enough to live off of yet, but let's just say how much do you need to invest? Let's say we invested $50,000 on one-time payment of $50,000 in hit analyze portfolio. Remember, we are reinvesting our dividends. Let's scroll down. We have $1 million in each, $11 million in Apple, $1.6 million in Altria Group, and we'll scroll down to 2023. Now, we're bringing in $56,000 in reality income. We could definitely live off of that comfortably, especially if we move to Mexico, where you can live like a king out there, right? So we have $56,000 in reality income. We'll be bringing in $60,000 in Apple. Remember, Apple only pays a half a percent dividend year, right? Oh, Apple's not just dividend stock. Apple's not a dividend stock. Well, they outperform reality income, a monthly paying dividend stock, the monthly paying dividend stock. They outperform them, right? With $60,000, and with Altria Group, you'll be bringing in $137,000. That's crazy. Now, let's say if we don't reinvest our dividends. Well, first, let's say what happens if we invest $100,000? All right, so we invest $100,000 in the last portfolio. Apple's going to be dumb. I already know it's going to be dumb. $22 million, $2 million and $3 million with tickets of an M.O. And if we go out to 2023, reality income, you'll have $113,000 in dividend income, doing nothing at all. Apple, you'll have $121,000. And Altria Group, you'll have $274,000 with a one-time investment. With a one-time investment of $100,000. Now, I know you guys are saying that's a lot of money. Let me show you guys this very simple trick. But what happens if we don't reinvest our dividends? Let me show you. All right, so if we don't reinvest our dividends, man, see that? Only $500,000, $189,000 and $18 million. And then our dividend income would be completely trashed. $30,000, $100,000 from Apple and $16,000 from Altria Group. So we always want to reinvest our dividends and that's what $100,000 is for. Let's just say we are going to reinvest our dividends and we only started off with $50,000. But now, right, we're cutting that $100,000. We started off with $50,000, but we're going to invest $20 every single day or $100 a week or that's $400 every single month. Then we're going to hit analyze portfolio. And there you go. You have 1.6 million, $26 million and $2 million. And you're still going to be bringing in a crazy dumb amount, right? $89,000, $146,000 from Apple and then $202,000 from Altria Group. And that's just from $50,000 and reinvesting $400 a month. But let's just say if we started off with $10,000, will we be comfortable? $10,000 usually it's not going to get it done just a one-time investment. But we are reinvesting with Apple. You'll have 17 million, almost a million with tickets to my O and Altria, you'll have 1.1 million. And with dividends, you'll have, yeah, yeah, yeah. You start off with one-time investment at $10,000 and then you invest $20 every single day for $100 a month. You will be able to retire very comfortably with 44K, 97K and 92K. And look at that, Apple outperformed both of those high dividend paying stocks with $97,000 in dividends. From a company that's not a dividend paying stock because they have such an amazing dividend growth rate. And there we go, dreamers. That is a little trick that you guys can use to build a monster dividend portfolio. Don't go crazy looking for the high dividend yields. Oh, I need high dividend yields. Those are going to get cut. And then they have a negative growth rate. Most, I could have showed you a whole bunch of examples of companies that had their dividend cut or a negative dividend growth rate or just because they have a high dividend yield. A lot of people are running that monster dividend portfolio. No, these that have a good growth rate that don't have a high dividend yield to where they can actually grow their company is going to stand the test of time. What I always say is that we are investing to our companies that we absolutely love that just so happen to pay dividends. We're not going to invest inside a company just because they pay dividends. That's not the number one reason. We invest inside a company that we love that just so happen to pay dividends so it can stand the test of time and we can make money in the long run and also retire from dividends by doing absolutely nothing.
