14:08 My Growth & Dividend Portfolio
Yeildmax lololololol if you lost money there stop now just go start a normal business
Hot Take: Bonds are an underrated investment.
Voo pays dividends
Before even watching the video: I am team Dividend. I have growth in the 401K, I also hold I-Bonds, and Treasuries. However my goal is if dividends can pay all my bills then one year later I pull that rope and retire. That lets the growth grow in the 401K (my 3rd line of defense) and the I-Bonds be my 2nd line of defense (so to speak).
I really think it comes down to temperament, like Mike said. Be either, but stick to it. I am full into dividendstock, I wont touch any stock that does not pay a dividend. I have watched my portfolio go up and down but have always held my positions. Worst thing you can do is buy or sell based on panic and emotions.
Great content, thank you Mike.
"which is better?" "both. They're both better"
Freeloader gang
So, then should I try and do both?
I am 40 as of writing this investing 200.00 per paycheck into the market. Currently I am buying KO because I was told that it's safe. Should I sell all and put into VOO for the 25 years I have left before I can retire from my job?
This is some great content. You’re style of explanation very accessible. I’m a big index guy for the majority of my portfolio.
How do you feel about leveraged etfs? Have you done any videos on UPRO? I’ve been DCA into UPRO and currently it’s about 10% of my portfolio. My plan is to use it to rebalance and basically maintain about 120% exposure until my retirement age. It dips like a MF and is easy to rebalance into, or sell off the pops and keep my 10% exposure. Lifecycle investing has a book about it.
Fuck all that shit. Yall better buy bitcoin and Etherum right now or you gonna miss out on the 10X!!!
I am one of those low 5-figure portfolio people not worth arguing with and I invests into growth stock that pays out some small dividend.
It‘s just nice to have my portfolio pay my rent for one month out of the year.
Great video.
Mikey, I thought you had a QQQX position?
Stocks? What are those? I like having options baby
My biggest positions are growth however the plan is to pass on my portfolio to my family when I'm gone and they don't care about stocks and have no interest in learning. Building up a sizeable dividend position means they have income without having to do anything. Also, it's nice to be able to take some time off work and still be getting paid.
Theta gang then s and p
For me, I buy dividend growth stocks in my Roth IRA (30 years to retirement), and trade credit spreads in my brokerage account and use the profits from that to buy growth stocks.
I don't know if most people would characterize an S&P 500 index fund as a "growth" investment, it would seem to me that you would need an ETF that purposefully selects companies for growth rather than simply tracking the whole market.
where does investing in gamer girl bath water fit? precious metals?
I would love to see the volatility difference between growth vs dividend etfs.
@KamikazeCash , Hey Mikey Mil do you still hold QQQX?
I like both, but personally, i feel like I needed to see my dividends going up at first so I can mentally keep going into it. Now that I've built up quite a bit, i do more so growth with a little dividend. So for me, it was more so that I acknowledged I was getting less, so that I could feel more reward and I'd be likely to continue doing it. Now after learning more, i focus more on growth and like 15% on dividends. Plus a lot of growth stocks pay a dividend so the number goes up as well
wow amazing breakdown of the topic! I think another alternative to dividend stocks could be real estate, if you can get a good rent yield out of it
please make more videos. wallstreetbets were so funny.
"If you're the typical viewer on my channel, you're almost certainly male, between 18-44 years old, and you like watching videos on trading and economics… and Moon for some reason." lol Pretty spot on
"Decades from retirement"
We never retiring
You still mess with Hood? lol peak 3k challenge was when you was doing pmccs on SNAP
the bitcoin ETFs will be life changing opportunity with the current high price in Lit-coins and Ava's in the market today
I like this video, but the addition of a tax exempt account like a Roth IRA changes everything. Then you aren't taxed on the income from dividends, and can grow your # of shares with compounding over 20-30 years. Once you want the dividend income, simply stop reinvesting and keep the monthly income. Much better than having to wait to lock in profits.
toyata?
Why do you have QQQ and QQQM? Arent they the exact same but QQQM has a lower expense ratio?
I’m jack to the tits.
Germany has started taxing virtual gains on growth ETFs. Check your own tax situation (Europe hates you)
Bro Moons videos are actually great funny that he randomly gets mentioned here
Dividends?! Growth?!
0 DTE OPTIONS GO BRRRRR
The argument between dividend & growth is irrelevant, all great companys eventually pay a dividend and the best companys in the world are dividend payers. if you go out of your way to invest in non dividend paying stocks you will underperform dramatically in the long run.
