Started my portfolio last year with SCHD, VOO, and VUG after watching one of your videos. In terms of share price, VOO is way up (22.25%) and VUG is up (39.62%). Thanks for the education!

I have been a dividend focused investor for a long time. This does not mean I don't own growth stocks, I do. A well rounded portfolio should be a mixture of both categories. I invest in the market, but never put all my money in market.

[Jeffery-fe]

My dividend journey began when I realized that two particular expenses in my budget were always going to go up and never go down. The two expenses were taxes and insurance. I realized that the dramatic rise in both will need some added income. So, I started buying shares paying dividends. I can now see that this will be the path I need to take to make sure those two expenses will not overtake my future income.

As an lnvesting enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?

[williamyejun]

What are the best strategies to protect my portfolio? I've heard that a downturn will devastate the financial market, so I'm concerned about my $200k stock portfolio.

[StephanieCosty-rc]

I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my portfolio for retirement of about $150k. I want to know: Do I keep contributing to my portfolio in these unstable markets, or do I look into alternative sectors?

[RobbStonee]

Great recommendations. I'm looking to start investing in the stock market and other asset classes with $60k this quarter. Should I focus on index funds or individual stocks? Preferably want the route with the best return in investment. Thanks!

[jonathanxxxx]

It seems certain stocks are undervalued, flying under the radar despite their potential. You can't help but wonder when the market will recognize their true worth. How can I invest $600K wisely to ensure our future security?

[jameswood]

Every week I buy more of whatever is the lowest percentage of my portfolio and try to keep everything around 10%. Please what could be my safest buys with $400k to outperform the market in 2024?

[justlikeasoldier]

Heard someone say it's important to stick to stocks that are recession-proof, hence I'm looking at NVIDIA and other AI stocks, or are there recommendations? I'm 31 and I've got $150k ready money to invest for my future.

Just to set the record straight. MAIN's dividend is 6% not 2%. They are paying 24.5 cents per month which equals an annual dividend of $2.94 per share (not including special dividends). That site is way off on it's numbers . I have held MAIN since 2008 it has been a great investment!

Bought AWS34M after watching your video, super excited! 💰

Watching the Market with detailed logical explanations from my coach has been an incredible experience. It's rare to find someone who explains their thought process while in the Market. Here, we have a true expert who thoroughly explains everything—from managing trades and identifying key confluences to understanding what to look for when in the Market. They also teach how to manage emotions during trading. It's truly remarkable to watch you along side during this times . Your efforts are outstanding, and I am now addicted to this channel's content. It's hard to find such high-quality lessons anywhere else. Thank you Sir, for your invaluable teachings. ... I have managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 432k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Sandy Barclay’s, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.

More than 4 years of covering this stock ... *MAIN* is the top dog of BDCs ❤

[dougnettleton]

Main Street Capital's regular dividend is over 6%. I can only assume that the goofy 2 percent number came from multiplying the usually quarterly special dividend by four and dividing by the stock price. In the past, as the special dividend has grown, it's been partially folded into the regular dividend and then reduced. I suspect that will happen as the Fed begins to cut rates. MAIN has been awesome since it began publicly trading.

Your videos are so good, I'm asking why I purchased your 3 books on step by step investing. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

I like MO and SOVL, but expect a better entry point for MO with Tax harvest sell off.

Started building new positions in three BDCs in the last two months, OBDC, GBDC, and HTGC (haha re: pun). The dip in August (as Hurricane Debby was cruising over) was nice, landed at the same time one of my options got called, so I had cash to deploy. Added a nice chunks of HRZN, ARCC, and CSWC, too. Have had HRZN since I first started investing and watching your channel in 2920-very pleased with it.

I need a way to draw up a plan to set up for retirement while still earning passive income to meet my day to day need and also get charged lesser taxes even while in a higher tax bracket. i want to invest around $250K savings.

interesting analogy. How often do you feel this should be recalculated.?
