1. You will need a self-directed brokerage account within your 401(k), IRA (Traditional, Rollover, or Roth), or an after-tax account. If you don't have one, reach out to your financial institution. Most institutions don't charge transaction fees, so if yours does, consider switching to one that doesn't.

2. Click on the Portfolio tab to see our list of 50 stocks. Click any stock to see company details, performance, recent news, and links to SEC filings showing dividend payments, and earnings reports. We provide a company summary of their business model, dividend analysis, and charts showing their dividend coverage history and our 12-month forward dividend projection. See our example chart below for more details.

3. Consider investing in all 50 stocks in the portfolio. A diversified portfolio of dividend-paying stocks helps protect your dividend income stream in several ways. If one company reduces its dividend, other companies in your portfolio can help maintain your overall income. Different sectors perform differently under various economic conditions, so holding dividend-paying stocks from multiple sectors helps ensure that downturns in one sector are balanced by stability or growth in others. In essence, a diversified portfolio of dividend-paying stocks creates a reliable dividend income stream, offering stability and resilience against market fluctuations.

4. Consider building and maintaining a balanced portfolio. Keeping the value of each position relatively equal minimizes the risk associated with poor performance in any single investment, creating a stabilizing effect. Knowing your portfolio is balanced and not overly dependent on any single stock brings peace of mind and reduces stress by ensuring your dividend income stream remains stable and secure.

5. Once a week log into the website and check the Portfolio Updates tab, where you will see 3 subtabs. The Weekend Updates subtab contains information such as stock rotations, earnings reports, dividend payments, important news about any of the stocks in the portfolio, and consolidated performance metrics. The Performance Tables subtab contains tables ordering the stocks in the portfolio by different performance metrics. The Earnings History subtab contains earnings reported by the 50 companies in the portfolio over the previous 5 quarters. A sixth column is added during the earnings season to report earnings as they come in.

FAQS

How are dividends paid? Brokerage firms provide options for dividends to be paid in cash or reinvested in the stock. Consider being paid in cash, which can then be used to balance your portfolio.

How can I estimate future dividend income? You can estimate future dividend income on our Dividend Calculator. This calculator is for general guidance and your results can vary. It does, however, give you an indication of the power of compounding your dividends.

How can I keep my portfolio balanced? To balance your portfolio, you have two options. If you're receiving dividends in cash, use them to increase the positions with the lowest current value to the portfolio average (total value of the account divided by the number of stocks you own). In this case, we recommend reinvesting your dividends monthly. If you choose not to reinvest your dividends, sell shares of positions that exceed the portfolio average and use the proceeds to invest in positions below the portfolio average. We recommend rebalancing quarterly in this scenario.

Where can I find the latest insights and articles? On our Insights tab, where we feature the latest articles, blog entries, and updates on dividend investing, market trends, and more. Most important however is our weekend update under the Portfolio Updates tab.
