 Hey, what's up YouTube, it's Zeta CryptoMina and today we're going to be talking about the S&P 500 dividend aristocrats So let's go ahead and get into it All right YouTube, we're back if we take a look at my livelihood account This is what I used to trade and buy stocks right now having buying power of four hundred and eight dollars and fifty six cents So tomorrow when the markets open, I'm probably going to buy two hundred dollars worth of stock And I was thinking about maybe I should invest into some dividend aristocrats If we're looking at my last week, I'm up one hundred and thirty five dollars and ninety eight cents one point seven four percent And yesterday or Friday I was down seven dollars in the market and seven dollars after I was but for the week I had a pretty good week now. I got over four hundred dollars into my account I'm going to use two hundred dollars of that to buy a dividend aristocrat I'm going to explain exactly what a dividend aristocrat is in the later part of this video And I'm also going to spend two hundred dollars of that to do a trade option Which I talked about two videos ago if you guys want to check that out. So I'm going into my account I do have a free stock available. Let me show you how that works. Thank you, Deanna W Let me claim that right quick. Hopefully it's an apple stock something good Um reward, which one should I pick um, let's go for the one on the right Scratch it off There we go Zy Nga All right, this shares worth five thousand seventy one cents. So thank you, Deanna W Make sure you leave a comment down in the comment section on this video on what free stock that you receive from me, okay? What is a dividend aristocrat and exactly how do you get into it? Um a dividend aristocrat to be eligible for the S&P 500 dividend aristocrat index as stock must have increased their dividend payouts For a minimum of 25 consecutive years or more must currently be Part of the S&P 500 index and must have a minimum market of capitalization of three billion dollars So it's not easy for a company to become part of the S&P 500 dividend aristocrat First of all, they have to increase their dividends for 25 years Consecutively straight that is a tough thing to do for a company. So to be a part of the S&P 500 dividend aristocrat is a real Hard thing to do and it makes the company look very good And it's very hard to stay inside the S&P 500 first of all You have to get your company inside the S&P 500 and then you have to have a market size of three billion or more So what are some companies that are a part of the S&P 500 that I might buy tomorrow when the stock market In 2009 the list decreased from 52 companies To 43 companies in 2009 due to the 2008 financial crisis These list of companies right here were the ones that got removed from the S&P 500 due to the 2008 financial crisis So all of these companies that are still in the dividend aristocrat It showed you that they could withstand any financial crisis, especially like the one in 2008 Let's look at some that were most recently added in 2012 these companies were added AT&T which I own some well, that's why I might buy tomorrow's AT&T of Colgate being GPC junior parts ACP ITW MDT SYYNTROW So in 2012 nine companies were added into the dividend aristocrats and right now I'm leaning toward Colgate or AT&T. I'm gonna do some more research on them Because over the last 25 years they have increased their dividends If we scroll down to 2019 the latest ones since 2018 and 19 Pixar has been added AOS has been added and RLP has been added, but Pixar is now LIN because they had a merger between LIN and Pixar so I like what Pixar is doing with their technology and what their movies are coming So I might grab some Pixar if I could grab before a good price in 2019 Chubb was added CB people united financials PBCT was added Calculator was added CIT and united technologies UTX was also added to the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats. So if you're looking into getting to dividend investing the safest route would to be To grow your dividend slowly over time or just throw as much money in it You got it and into a into a company that is a dividend aristocrat That's how you know your dividends will grow over time Especially for a company that's been in the dividend aristocrats for a very long time and don't want to drop out a companies that's around like the 23 anywhere from the 20 to 24 year mark of dividend increase that that company is clearly trying to get into the Dividend Aristocrats PM S&P 500 list those companies right there would probably increase their dividends for the next five years Just to get inside the dividend aristocrats. So those are also safe routes, but um out of these 40 How many were left 43 companies? If you invest into 20 of those For your dividends aristocrats, if you're just starting out invested to 20 25 of those You know that your dividends will increase over time and in 20 and 25 years you will have financial freedom Uh, you would get a paycheck almost every single month sometimes two three times a month last month I got seven new paychecks.
