 $100,000. What's up, money geeks, Mr. V here. Welcome to another video, guys. So in today's video, we're gonna take a look at my dividend portfolio in M1 Finance. You guys know that I'm actually in the process of building a $100,000 dividend portfolio step by step. It's not gonna happen overnight. To get to $100,000, that's a lot of money. And so every month, like I said, I was gonna show you guys where the account is, which new stocks are added into the account and how the account is actually performing. And if there's any dividends that I got paid, I wanna show you guys that every single month. So last month, I showed you guys update to the account. And so this month, I've actually made some changes, which by changes, I mean, I've actually added some new stocks into the account. So we're gonna jump into the account, go through it, see how it's performing, which stocks I added, and then we'll go from there. So here we go, guys. This is my M1 portfolio. As you can see, we have that amount in the account. Yeah, and so let's go to activities and see if we have any dividends coming in this month. So let's filter that and there we can see. So as of this month, we haven't gotten any dividends. So this is March, so no dividends paid yet. So we're looking forward to some dividends coming in this month, so hopefully next month when we do a video, I'll show you guys those. So yeah, nothing in yet, but now let's go back to the main account. Last time we did a video, last time I did an update. So we had, from Recidicur, we had real estate and we had technology. And so this month, we've added communication and energy. So on that communication, we added two stocks. I added AT&T and I added Verizon. So if I can pull up AT&T here. So as you can see, their dividend heal is 5.45%, which is awesome. So we're looking forward to it. One of the reasons we got them too was because with the coronavirus stuff, everything was down. So we were able to go in and get some of AT&T. So, and then Verizon was the same thing as well. So we got them relatively cheap. If you look at the dividend heal here, it's 4.23%, which is awesome. So can't complain, we got them at a reasonable price. So our goal is, as markets recover from the coronavirus, we're really gonna be sitting pretty good here. So if you look at the gains here, we're down $1.65, that's not too bad. I mean, that's really nothing. Just to be down $1.55, which is great. So that's it for communication. So let's go back and see what we have for energy. So energy, I actually added two stocks. So we added an ExxonMobil, which is pretty good. They were down $26 as some change. That's still not bad, because we got them at a really, really good price. Likewise, I added ET, which is energy transfer. So let's open ExxonMobil and see the dividend yield is 6.64%, that is awesome. You can't complain with that. Like I said, down $26, but our hope is that this will grow over time and we would get those dividends. So let's go to ET. We're down $5, almost $6, that's not too bad. Dividend yield on this one is about 10.57. So that's pretty good. Can't really complain. The goal is to grow this account over time. The trick with dividend investing is not just putting money in there. It's picking the right stocks and allowing them time to grow and pay your dividends over time. So that's why, again, I mentioned that my account is named growth and income, because I'm getting growth from the stocks and I'm getting income that's been paid to me dividend. So overall, what's the health of this account? We are up $349. I think this is down from last month. Again, for obvious reasons, the coronavirus. So our return is 8.5. We were up to about 20% return on this account. And then the corona thing happened. So we're down to 8.5%. So on the technology, see we're bleeding as far as Camtech, IBM, and Seagate. But it's fine, we're gonna get the dividends here. And then if we go back and look at real estate, we're sitting pretty good. There's a little bit of red in there, but overall, we are up 2.3% of $48 return. And then for pharmaceutical, we're still bleeding a little bit with Merck. But Gilead, Science, and Avell are doing great. Avell is gonna really spike here. I'm looking forward to this stock as they acquire, I think they're going through some sort of acquisition right now. So that's gonna be great. So if you look again, individual stocks, see look at the dividend yield. This is 5.4 for GL ID is 3.75. And then if you look at Merck as 2.94. So that's not bad. So overall, if you average that from a dividend standpoint we're sitting, maybe an average of 4.5 to 5% on just that particular pile, which is awesome. So that's the health of the account. And again, like I said, I'm gonna continue to put in money there and expand these different piles that I have. So if you notice here, we don't have, let's say consumer goods, it's not here. And so I'm gonna find something in consumer goods, I don't see in the manufacturing. So I'm gonna put some manufacturing and consumer goods in my next update. And even in between that, if I see a good stock that I think this is really good, I'm gonna include that. There is key stocks that I have in mind that I want to buy and those are really good dividend paying stocks. Whether you like it or not, those you need to have those. And I'm gonna do a list of the top six dividend paying stocks that I'm gonna buy and just put them in my portfolio just because of how good they have been performing over the years and I'll do a separate video on that. So there we go guys, that's the update. So this month we see we've deposited $1,000 into the account. So if you're gonna deposit, so I'm not gonna do that. So but overall we've deposited $1,000 into the account for this month. So I'm gonna buy some more stocks for next month and then hopefully if I get some extra money on my side hustle, I'll buy more stocks. And that's how we would continue to grow this account. We're sitting at right now, if I include this $1,000 I'll say over 10 grand, that is awesome guys. I think we're doing good. So let me know if you have any questions otherwise I'll take for this video. It's my update and we'll talk again. As you can see guys, getting to $100,000 it's more of a marathon as opposed to a sprint. Most people, when you say $100,000 people are like, oh my goodness, where do you get all that money from? It's just baby steps. Like I said, every month my goal is to put maybe $1,000 into the account and continue to buy those dividend stocks. And then with the help of compounding interest. So when I get paid dividends, those dividends gets reinvested, that's how the account is gonna grow. And hopefully the market gets better after this whole coronavirus craziness. You see the account actually took a hit because of the virus. And so you're gonna see those up and downs and but that's the reason why we're doing dividends because it doesn't matter if there is a up or a downtrend you still get paid dividends. And that's what keeps the account continuously growing. And for me personally, that's where I actually named the account growth and income. Growth from the fact that the stocks can actually grow in income from the fact that they're paying you dividends and that's the way I want this account to grow. So my goal is to make extra money. If I can make some extra money with my side costs and everything, I'm gonna dump that money into the account to try to grow it as fast as possible to get to that $100,000 mark. So that's it for this video guys. If you do have any questions about my choice of stocks that I'm buying, don't hesitate to actually ask the questions in the comments below.
