 All right guys, welcome back to the Independent Investor Channel, my name is Ryan, so good to be with you guys again, you know, each and every one of these little dots on the dartboard behind me have the ability to pay renderings through what's called a dividend. In other words, when you own the underlying equity or own the stock outright, typically, a dividend will be paid every quarter. Some of my stocks that I own, they do pay a monthly dividend, which is actually kind of nice. In this video, I'm going to update the dividend renderings for January. It was awesome. Just over 400 bucks. And I know there's a lot of people out there that maybe looking to validate why invest. And seeking dividend income is a huge, huge motivator for anybody to look at and say, Man alive Ryan here really hasn't been investing that long and been investing my whole life but I've been investing correctly for the last few years. Really the Independent Investor Channel is the epiphany for me. It is the summit. It's the ability to come on and share what I understand now about what to do, yes, but also what to potentially avoid in investing at all costs. So with that guys, we'll jump in, conduct the dividend review. Please enjoy. Just wanted to go ahead and give you guys a quick update on the dividend renderings for January. This is something that I like to do for the subsequent month. This is really a cool aspect of the portfolio that gets overlooked a lot on social media. I know that everybody wants to find that next best thing or next best stock that's going to take them to the moon. But I think dividend income is a very, very valid reason to start investing. So I roll these out to provide you guys what's possible, what a portfolio that's got the amount of money in it that mine does, how much it can generate. So I always do the bottom line up front for you guys so you can understand what we're looking at here. So 420.45, nothing to shake a stick out. I mean, $400 a month extra might come in very, very handy for somebody. I take and I dividend reinvest all of these dividends but pretty good month. I do have months that go by in the year where I'll earn more than $1000 of dividend income. So January was a touch light but a respectable $400. Nonetheless, I'll take it. It's a very, very important aspect of the portfolio that we enjoy. We don't need the money right now so we just allow these to pay and make more dividends on the next quarter. And one in particular here is the monthly dividend payer and realty income core. This is just a money generating juggernaut for me in the portfolio. It's doing everything that I ask it to do. It's interesting that the two REITs pay at the same time. You know, realty income is going to pay every month. W.P. Carey is not. I thought I saw it on the list here. I did. And that's a nice one. That's a quarterly dividend payout. So don't be confused as to why that's a much grander amount. This is every quarter with the $53.94 payout and then the realty income, I own a significantly larger position in. But this is monthly. So this is an awesome payout. It's nice to see that and they generate a nice tax protected dividend within the respective Roths. I have these split up between the two main Roth accounts. So pretty exciting stuff there. I don't write contracts against my real estate stuff for the sheer purpose of I don't want to lose the shares. Number one, number two is I don't think the premium is really that nice on real estate REITs. So my my realty income core position means a lot more to me than, you know, trying trying to pick a strike price out and getting paid a couple dollars of premium. Honestly, it's just not very worth it to give up on the on the fat dividend. That means more to me than anything. So that's the real estate aspect to hear a nice payout back in January. Very nice close to $90 on that payout. Cisco is one that I have a contract written on. This is a nice dividend. This contract I wrote a little bit longer term. If it sells, I'll just buy the stock back. It's no big deal. But big tech here. And a nice long large position pays a nice dividend always has Cisco's a nice dividend stock. $44.82 on the quarter for Cisco going to buy me more shares there. And then the two send stocks, they pay out at the same time here with Altria Group here, the domestic offering here. And then Philip Morris for the international domestic since since stock market. Fat dividend payouts there, you know, close to a 6% yield on Philip Morris, close to a 7% yield on Philip Morris or Altria Group. So you can see here, man, these really do embolden that dividend income and really boosts up the bottom line there. Work a nice $20 dividend. I'll take it. That's great. That's one of my two big health care names in my Roth. And that'll go back into the underlying security. No problem there. And then the finally to round out the list here is my three big staples here and Pepsi, Kimberly, Clark and Walmart. Walmart doesn't yield a whole heck of a lot here, but I don't really have a huge position in Walmart either. I do love the company. I really do. I think I'll probably gather more capital appreciation out of that name that I will. Dividend income, which is totally fine. So that's where the 1350 comes in. Pepsi is a long holding to me a completely different on this one. This is this is fantastic. I think this was knocking on the door to be a dividend king. If I'm not mistaken, it's it's paid for a while. It's a healthy aristocrat at the least and Kimberly Clark absolutely on that dividend. Aristocat it may be a king as well. I'm not really sure I don't track that stuff very often, but Kimberly Clark is one of those that we're going to own for the long term. So I thought you guys would appreciate the update there again for the month of January starting in the new year 2021 for 2045 was the renderings off of the portfolio for for January. So I hope you appreciated that guys will kick you back and we'll conclude the video. Alright guys so we've come out of the dividend review, not too shabby. These are dollars that are earned while I'm doing other stuff. That's the secret sauce of wealth building that's the secret sauce of getting ahead financially to be honest with you is you can't always work your way to success. You've got to strategically understand how to branch out and give your money a chance to work for you, as I've done in each of these holdings. Now I typically roll these out and give a review once a month I was doing it a little more periodically I thought it was a little much. So I've digressed and I do this once a month that gives a nice picture on on how much the renderings fluctuate. Some months I really do really well this was kind of a kind of a light month with the amount of renderings that were paid from the holdings. No problem. I mean I, it is what it is. I, I'm sure there's a lot of people out there that can relate with maybe seeking out an extra $400. Shoot man an extra $100 for me is a big deal so for 400 I'll take it I just throw it on the pile anyway. I don't need the money I don't invest because I need the money I invest because it's the right thing to do.
