Some of the best financial content on YouTube. I’m a high school history teacher and you do a pretty good job of explaining complex ideas.

Your portfolio that you just showed, does a great job of showing low beta dividend growers in compounders.

I would add Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Visa MasterCard because they’re the biggest two payment processors, but I would also add AMEX because the quality of their customer is huge. Recession would be more likely to hit them less.

I would also put Pepsi in Coca-Cola spot. My logic to it is that when you’re in recession or fearing one, you’re going to most likely eat at home more. Just about every American home has at least 5 to 7 Pepsi products in it at any time. Coca-Cola is much more likely to be consumed at a restaurant, stadium… Etc.

This is incredible. Very well thought out stock selection! Good job !

[Madchris]

Best recession proof is to buy pretty much exclusively ETFs . Past results don't indicate future results and the market is hyper volatile especially now. For me I use ETFs as a safety net and normal stocks as true growth. As my best stocks outperform my etfs

There are a lot of companies out there that can power through recession and hardship periods, I'm just a fan of buying into moat heavy, cash flow grantors, buy on dips, and add as they drop, and enjoy the bull markets when they happen.

nice!
i'd add V/MA, MSFT, SPGI, MCD, maybe PEP (instead of KO), ABBV

[bendixtrinity]

is there any reason why one shouldnt rely on preferred stocks if the main goal is capital preservation and living off dividends?

[jim]

Excellent video! Very informative. Thank you for your expert analysis!

[DividendDude]

Great video per usual Dividendology!!! Keep up the AWESOME work!

[emmanuelmitchell]

Respect. Though I expected to see UNP on that list as well

[Firespyer]

On your cost choice does the dividend growth per share include that massive 1 time dividend that they issued?

[YieldExploiter]

Perfect timing and I love the content! I bought into UNH, WM, JNJ, LMT, PG, KO, and COST this week! Does it fair better to just condense and buy into DGRO instead?

I would like to see a video of how these stocks did during the 2008 recession

[RonaldKragnes]

Is there a fund/stock screener that you can use, to search and filter for stocks, and funds like the ones mentioned in the video?

[prasvasu]

If the fundamentals remain strong however which way the stock market is, doesn't it make sense to DCA during a recession rather than before it?

[robertdagostino]

I enjoy Peter Lynch over Buffet. I built my own ETF. I get my dividends and pay no fees. But investing on my own for over 50 years. Some stocks I own. KO. PEP. MSFT. VZ. GPC. JNJ. ABBV. AMGN. JPM KEY. GS. AEP. DUK. GIS. MO. LLY. LMT. GD. RTX. APC. TXN. QCOM. IBM. XOM. CVX. PSX. MPC ETN. HON and others

How are the markets at extreme fear. While being at all time highs and all time high evaluations?

Bitcoin is on its way to down, getting closer to hitting new high prices, showing that it's loosing more value and could go even higher than we've seen before. This could mean great things for people looking to invest, suggesting now might be a good time to get involved before it jumps even higher. It's an exciting moment that could change the game in general...managed to grow a nest egg of around 2.1Blitcoin to a decent 11.4Biitcoin. At the heart of this evolution is mrs Beley Haener, whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. Her holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make her an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment

Is there a way to see what percent of holdings is in certain companies including those in etfs like SCHD? I own a number of etfs and I'm a little worried about hidden overlap
