 Certainly I've been taking a break from portfolio reviews, but I do still want to continue to share The opportunity with M1 finance, you know in this environment. It's amazing to me how many people are looking for shortcuts Looking to potentially even retire if not partially or holistically on cryptocurrency when you've got guys like myself who can continually come on and show that wealth building doesn't need to be The pie-in-the-sky approach it can be deliberate It can be responsible It can be with very little stress if any this is a portfolio that I've put together here Now it's got a hundred stocks. I'm going to just demonstrate for you the holdings in here show you the Additional last slice that I've added. I've declared this to you guys before and it's got it had ten It's got 11 now. I added real estate in here to go ahead and round out this portfolio I've done my due diligence on the real estate REIT segment and I'll show you those holdings when we get to it, but for you guys that are new to the M1 experience This is a whole different way of investing. It certainly is catered to those investors that are interested in Taking more of a passive hands-off approach There is a little bit of Initial work that needs to be done to determine how it is you want to take advantage of the M1 finance opportunity I have three accounts two of them are comprised in here The bond portfolio is is the other we're not going to chronicle that today. Here it is just a shy of $1,600 in the bond portfolio But for this purposes is a taxable brokerage account within M1 I started this late to 2019. So Just over a couple years old here in this account About two two years and what is that five months going on? So, you know Just over two and a half just under two and a half years in this portfolio and for new investors who are looking at this landscape And they're confused and they want to know, you know, which direction to go what type of investor they want to be Maybe that maybe you don't know yet This will help Identify for you guys that don't know me. My name is Ryan. I've been investing for well over 25 years in my life I started young in my life screwed up half the time and If I had the knowledge that I have now back then I would already be sitting on millions of dollars There's no doubt in my mind There's no real shortcuts to building wealth at least properly. Certainly you can get luck. I can't teach luck I can't absolutely teach fundamentals and this is just one of many Strategic elements of my program that I run that of which is the dividend growth portfolio It's one of those life hacks that I talk about on in route to a million dollars dividends are free money And it's just about as close to a guarantee as you can possibly get in the stock market. These gains are undeniable The earned dividends this portfolio Really, it's amazing almost pays me a dividend every single day now Mind you, there's a hundred stocks here with just around 33 and a half thousand in the account So the dividends that are rendered off that just to give you some perspective They're not going to be hundreds of dollars of dividends because there's a few hundred dollars in each of these names okay, but those dollars add up over time and My strategic goal is to continue to fund this. Yes To continue to dollar cost-a-budget To continue to build this up to its first strategic goal My end goal is a hundred thousand if I can get it up to 250. I think that would be great But we're too incentive thresholds away fifty thousand and then and then up to a hundred thousand and for an account That's just shy of two and a half years old I cannot scoff at the progress in this. I'm very satisfied with the progress some of you guys may You know disagree or you may want it quicker than that. That's no problem. I bid you all the best You're not going to hear me buy into that in that I can help you. I can't do that I I provide this information free of charge so you guys can come in and enjoy the information In how I wealth build you can see here the value over time These are small strategic fund-ups. These are strategic buying injects that I take in the market Usually a thousand fifteen hundred dollars maybe But here you can see the churn in the portfolio and then the last strategic buy-up was a was a nice one That was one that I bought on what I considered to be a small dip in the market. You can see here It doesn't dip very often And but when it does I look to take advantage of that not to time the market I could be wrong on every one of them But I pay attention and when the markets are down a few basis points that I take a strategic stab at it So this is the the allocation this portfolio is made available to you in the description below Independent investor channel is and always will be affiliated with M1 finance. I do have other accounts I have been solicited by other brokers and M1 finance currently is the only one That I feel comfortable with as an affiliate other accounts I use But I think this really has the most potential to help beginning investors buy into the passive philosophy and M1 finance is tailor-made for those passive Investors out there. So please know by sharing this information. I can receive a small compensation for providing These tutorials for you. I enjoyed doing it. I wish I would have had this opportunity This is it a crowd across from somebody like myself who is well-intentioned I I would have this account whether or not I shared it or not Take the information or leave it. It's no problem. But like I said, the portfolio is Available to you in its in its partial in the description below. There's about 50 holdings It's maxed on what I can actually share, but this portfolio has Actually double that it's got a hundred holdings in it But just I want to show you guys kind of the relative amounts here just shy of 5,000 That's my biggest sector technology and it's my biggest weighting here at 12 percent I adjusted these weightings a little bit to make a little bit of room down here for this slice Which should fund tomorrow in the market. This is sitting at about 9 percent Just a little bit of strategic adjustment here some it'll roll some profits off and and look to fund this pie here as we look to Add real estate into the mix here But all the way down to 1,700 in the material sector and then up you can see how I've got this broken down very very clean It represents the 11 Sectors in the S&P 500 healthcare financials consumer staples industrials and like so let's jump in and we'll take a look at the holdings here The holdings are Holding and great. I mean, you know, there's some volatility here Obviously the eight positions in the REITs will add tomorrow So we've got 92 at the time of filming this video Working at a great clip. I just cannot I cannot deny the progress and up to this portfolio and we're going to continue to grow these holdings I mean, you know, we're in route here to a thousand dollars in in visa What if what what if I could get all of these up to a thousand dollars in each of these holdings now? We're talking about a hundred thousand dollar portfolio. And you know, this allows me to dollar-for-dollar build this wealth slowly over time. So It's it's a lot of fun to invest this way very fun Yeah, I get notified every time I get paid a dividend and I'm just going to scroll through here guys I don't need to go through every one of these you guys will recognize a lot of these value plays a lot of these are Dow components and some of the more large cap types of names Some of the real estate REITs that I added Are in the seven eight billion dollar range So a couple of mid cap offerings But my largest holding in the REIT category will be AMT American Tower REIT Which is one of my absolute favorite. I did not buy Simon property group this time about cold storage Stag WP carry those names hold hopefully will come up here I don't know if they've got a buy first to show up in my list of offerings here to the travelers insurance here of the Dow component Telecom here with Disney. It's been a real drag You know, I don't mind taking these good quality companies into a downturn and the cool thing about investing with M1 Is that if you do? Subject, you know your portfolio to to incurring a little bit of downturn gosh these other names sure do buffer The the opportunity I mean Eli Lilly this would have been one that I wouldn't have really put a large position in but $224 off of just shy of two shares You know so, you know for you guys and I've got a little bit of scrutiny for this portfolio. That's no problem I'm not I'm not immune to scrutiny on social media. I absolutely believe that it makes for a better discussion but please understand this is this is just my way and You know for a lot of people if you look at this and you agree with some of the holdings But you disagree with the allocation great now we're furthering the discussion for you to start to Graduate to a better place as an investor because this again for me meets a phenomenal strategic goal of dividend growth And this isn't the only dividend Basket that I have per se. I have dividend growth in my taxable brooch brokerage account Which is significantly larger than this account and my two Roth IRAs also have dividend growth It's a strategy that I believe in it's a strategy that I pursue It's a strategy that I don't buy into singularly. I Pursue growth and and I also pursue passive investments through diversified ETFs and index funds so I do it all and You could really benefit from sitting across in a 10-minute message and really understanding a holistic perspective in how I fill out my financial category within within my pyramid of needs and for you Guys that have been with me as of late. You guys have understood look at that less than a share one share of Costco $178 And you can't deny these with the volatility on the market. You're gonna see I mean AT&T has just really rolled off 22 shares this has actually split off into Discovery media So that was some shares of stock that I got for free I do own a larger position in the taxable account. There's Enbridge look at Enbridge up over 22% Fantastic just shy 10% that's one of the large dividend payers in the In the utility sector so pretty cool there But yeah leg it and plait that's taken a step down. That's probably a buy point in the low 40s That's probably pretty good Verizon nice 5% dividend yielder in the telecom space Nike's rolled off a little bit Canadian banks are continuing to outperform nicely Look at Marathon Petroleum. Fantastic company. I chronicled About a year and a half ago. I rolled that video out. I Fantastic play here up over 70% and you know, you take these and this is where you start to Really enjoy some of these really large compounding growths because I have no intention of selling any of these I don't care what they do. I'm this could be up a thousand percent. I wouldn't care So a little bit different Strategy in that I get asked all the time Ryan. When do you sell? Well, these good companies? I don't plan on ever selling I'll grow this to prove a point and I'll give it to my kids someday. It's no problem I don't need to sell Morgan Stanley to what take $35 in profit. I don't need to do that. I'm good I don't need to sell you an H you and H has been a Dow component and it always will be 3m companies really just been a hit on the chin But you know, this would be one of those that M1 finance would say hey, let's buy a little bit more shares in it Because we're down a little bit in it There's Bank of Nova Scotia here come off a little bit. I'm noticing But still up closer to 20% on the Canadian banks doing quite well with a Charles Schwab up over 43% You know, so have I carpet bombed the the market? Yeah, I have Did I do deep due diligence on all these? No, you don't need to on good quality companies man These are value. I don't need to do due diligence to understand that UNP is the largest rail in the world I don't need to do that and I bought it and just by doing that I didn't look for anything strategic to say hey, you know, I didn't run cash flow models on these I didn't I didn't look at the debt load I didn't I didn't look at any of the of those because these good quality companies man They've been proven to to went out over time. Look at waste management up over 33% Fantastic, I'm skipping over some of these but you can obviously see where my my loyalty lies This is great. Got a little Cummins in the portfolio. This is awesome Total energy has just been on fire as of late, but I'm looking to cherry pick this Senofi This is a new addition. I added this probably two months ago Maybe even less than two months ago and we're up already 11.55% and for you guys that are perhaps new investors and you're looking at this and you're like man I sure do see a lot of green in this. This is interesting enough I always thought that investing was gambling. Well, I don't know as long as people continue to eat special K I think I'm good to go with Kellogg's as long as people continue to well, I'll leave that one alone But you can kind of see where I'm going that's one of my newer purchases here with Canadian Imperial Which is down and then JP Morgan just rolled off a little bit with their last quarter They were a mixed bag beat on the top and missed on the bottom, but Jamie Diamond had some pretty hawkish things to say about the about the US economy and the impacts of the global geopolitical situation right now, but I don't really care Is there a potential to improve over time? Yes, there is I'm a passive investor in this portfolio and it's it's one of those things that I'm very excited about and It's it's a great way to invest and like I said This could really be a good way of entering into the stock market for you guys for you new investors that are interested in Taking a hundred dollars a month and throwing it into the market You can do it in a diversified manner the portfolio is already built for you and one finance does all the work in Taking that hundred dollars and spreading it out throughout the portfolio Where you don't have to even pick and choose that the picking and choosing is done on the on the onset And then when those dollars flow into the account here, they they are dispersed accordingly Guys, I really appreciate you tuning in to this review the dividend growth portfolio I'll continue to roll out updates on this as I do believe it speaks to The real strategy of passive long-term dividend growth Investing and I think it can apply to the message and put a little success into your portfolio Thanks guys. I really appreciate you tuning in and we'll kick you back and we'll conclude the video You
