Saturday morning cartoons for grown ups !!!

[pkinvesting]

As much as I love JNJ, I think MSFT is currently the best dividend stock out there for people who currently have 15+ years until retirement.

[tbaloni]

You have become a part of my weekly routine, every Saturday I clean my room while listening to your videos. I also agree with MSFT it’s almost the perfect company to own and JNJ is also very good

[maguilla]

Altria MO powerhouse of dividend income!

[jaxdestroyer]

What does it mean if I pick redheads though? Dividend Stocks I want to Add to my current portfolio are Pepsi and Kellanova currently. Although a part of me wants to add an ETF like SCHD to it soon as well.

[allendavis]

I always look forward to your videos, thank you

[hula_doll]

I've been watching your videos for a few years now and have recently landed a job in buy-side equity research. The firm has a similar investment ideology to you when it comes to the types of stocks, which was a plus for me. Just wanted to say thank you, as I think it was your videos that taught me the fundamentals and got me hooked on analysing stocks. Also a thank you for helping all your viewers build an understanding of how powerful investing can be if done right over the long term - rather than short-term get-rich-quick trading - and for making it so interesting. Cheers from England mate.

[glennshoemake]

AVGO is the world's 11th largest company by market cap and no one ever talks about them. Easily my best dividend stock that I've owned over the last 5 years.

[JC-JC]

Would you agree with buffet for buying ETF for us newbies

[DansBlues]

Ah… my wife was Chemically Blonde as well. Only once in our time together, did she let her hair be her natural color. I was so use to seeing her Blonde an preferred that look. Man she is so missed.

I notice you mentioned about people wanting to control their dividend payout for tax purposes. I feel the same way with Capital Gains Distributions. It is why I’m not invested in Mutual Funds. I want to control that Capital Gain to when I sell a stock. Not because it’s required by the Mutual Fund.

Another great video. Thanks.

[christopherzorthian]

Cool, i just hope she doesn’t try to make us poorer folks pay taxs on unrealized capital gains . I have a feeling eventually that will happen if they start taxing unrealized gains for the rich.

[richardthorne]

MCD and HD are 2 of my fav growth div stocks b/c like you said we all have different factors for owning stocks and for me those two have an excellent options chain so I turn both these into 8-11% yielders every year without being called away. I would probably say Visa for a dividend stock I don’t own.

[nynick]

Wouldn't mind getting into some visa and/or Amex.

[johnj]

Thanks for the programs... Question: being Retired/ soon to be etc Had 50% of investments in Risk FREE 5.5% Treasuries ... now with the lower interest rates with plans to take more Equities positions come back into the Market . where would you start investing? ETF, stock or where ?

[eingram]

Great vid thanks! Im definitely focusing on growth div raises. My timeline is at least 20 years. I feel many folks younger than me (38) focus to much on yeild, reits, jepi because they want that compound “snowball”. To me that seems like only reading the cover on dividend investing and risk, and not the whole book. But to each their own. Btw nvidia raised 150% this year and I feel like they are going to continue to raise materially in years to come but thats just my (inflation adjusted) 2 cents. I also own amazon which I am sure will be paying me a chunky div by 20 years. Cheers

[rodneyrchicago]

Yes, I have attended BRK shareholder meeting. It is everything you can imagine. With proper explanation on why there is no dividend... Put it on your bucket list.

[todcar]

I've listened to many reviews and videos about dividend investing, but this is definitely one of the best .. well done GenEx... and absolutely love Microsoft too as it's one of my largest holdings behind Visa and ATD..

[stockjock]

I've always wanted to own PG, KO and GS. All are great businesses at the top in their industries. I use many PG products, and I see KO sold and marketed everywhere. I always love seeing the footprints of companies I invest in. However, they don't meet my investing objectives or price target, so they will remain on my watchlist until they do.

[martinnussbaumer]

My wife is a blond and I like brunetts love is weird and she is the best thing to ever happen to me….
