Can’t miss a dividend video ☕️
Nice work Toby

Fact is if you need cash flow now not just growth for future use investments that pay a dividend or yield is far more reliable than waiting for growth stocks and accumulation funds to grow value and then selling which is not as predictable. Should all be held in ISA and SIPP's.

Good video.

As you know I am a dividend investor. My finances are capital comfortable income poor. I currently compound all dividends. I balance the portfolio on sector and risk. Overall yielding over 7%

I have owned L&G for so long the yield on my investment is about 60%

Currently investing in VHYL, high dividend etf, but mainly as it acts like a pseudo value fund until we’re in more stable times

Stumbled across this video searching for advice on dividends. I’m fairly new to the world of investing, and this video has been so insightful, thank you! Looking forward to learning more from you!

This was a great video, I’m new to investing and I was a little confused on the tax with dividends. It’s good to know that I don’t have to because I use an ISA 😅

[valerienewbatt]

A lot of work done by Toby, as always great video.

To keep US withholding tax to a minimum make sure to sign a W8 BEN for for every investing platform you use. Otherwise you'll pay 30% not the 15% mentioned.

It pays dividends to watch a Toby video

Dividend aristocrats are a great way to achieve ‘cakeism’. Take USDV for instance and compare it to VUSA.

I have DS smith, I've taken 2x 70 pounds profit and getting dividend end of month so I say, free money

Also, remember in a downturn blue chip dividend payers usually don't drop as much as the market. Plus you also the dividend. I for one like the idea of not drawing on the principle.

Re UK dividend tax, the senior figures in the Labour Party (which looks likely to form the next government) have indicated that they intend to equalise tax rates for earned and unearned income so a 20% tax rate (if you are basic rate tax payer) is on the horizon (more than double the current rate).

Nice video! But remember that to catch a fish, you need a bait. The capital is the bait and the fish is the dividend.

[JohninRosc]

Excellent video as always. Many thanks.

Hi dude loving the vids. Quick Q, where did you get the LED stock ticker in your room? Or is it just a monitor. Thanks!!

The dividend allowance if you have a general investment account and an isa is it just counting dividends held outside an isa for the dividend allowance. I know dividends in an isa are not taxed but if you get more than the allowance in your isa is it tax straight away on any dividends in the general account. Hope that makes sense.

Having money makes sense, and having sense makes money.
