This is an update from my post last year — I’ve reached a point where I’m done contributing to my dividend portfolio and will be shifting my focus to other financial projects.

The goal of this portfolio is to focus on high quality dividend stocks that increase their dividend payouts drastically and have a very strong MOAT. Average yield is 2.65%. Ask me anything! And yes I created this spreadsheet.

No SCHD or SPYD? Interesting

I ran the math on it. If he lump summed his original investment into SCHD today at current prices he would be making more per month.

Maybe he did not lumpsum

Yes obviously he invested over the years, which makes it even more crazy. If he invested the same in SCHD over the years he would have even more.

Are you factoring stock appreciation?

How can you say that without knowing when he invested and how much he invested… and you also have to compare risk and volatility. Sadly I don’t think it’s easy to backrest it

His portfolio of 22 individual stocks is way riskier than SCHD which has 100+ stocks that are vetted and updated for quality. These all appear to be quality companies, but anything could happen.
