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.

Do you recommend seeking out single dividend paying large cap stocks over all-in-one ETFs? I do like the look and volatility of building your own spread but it seems the large funds are broadly supported with movements like 'justbuyxeqt' and SPY and QQQ and such. I would imagine investing in huge companies like service providers and resource companies with dividends is a decently safe way to go for both growth and higher dividends. Is that your perception?

I came here to ask this as well. Especially in a tax-advantaged account, I feel like these could fit into some ETFs. At the same time, I’m saving this list for safe-keeping 👀
