I Just SOLD These 3 Dividend Stocks (and BOUGHT 2 More) 🚨

Earlier this week, I made significant adjustments to my dividend portfolio. I sold 3 dividend stocks and strategically redeployed the funds. First, I reinvested a substantial portion into one of my existing dividend stocks, significantly beefing up that position, which was really exciting. Second, I used the remaining funds to start a brand new dividend stock position, further diversifying my dividend portfolio. In this video, we're going to dive into all these moves. We'll discuss the dividend stocks I sold, the ones I bought, and how these changes impacted my overall dividend income.

What was the last stock you sold out of, and why did you sell it? Let me know in the comments! 👇

I’m still long Apple. I bought it several years ago and it has done exceptionally well for me during that time period. I think 5 to 10 years down the road, I will be very glad that I held it.

110% agree with your sales! SO & Apple both near their all time highs, KO is a very slow grower, absolutely find something to get more bang for your buck. Visa & Vici are absolutely going to supercharge your portfolio I feel! Visa is a monster compounder, and Vici has a high yield and able to average out 6%-7% hikes going forward, love love these plays man!

Ko is a keeper not selling as it is a steady reliable stock that pays dividends.

[jeremyking]

I’ve never sold, I don’t even know how to sell 🤷🏻‍♂️

I recently sold Apple too and bought Waste Management for it. Main reason was, that Apple is facing headwinds especially here in EU and maybe after the US election. Waste Management is a solid business that is increasing dividends on a constant basis.

Amazing moves Ryne! 4% divy yield and 8% divy CAGR is just amazing. Congratulations!

Thank goodness you got VICI before it exploded up....congrats and welcome to the party. I sold 1000 VICI a while back for a big gain and have bought back 500 during the dip several weeks back. I love VICI and believe I will not sell again until it hits around $34-$35

SOLD out of MTB back in May. MTB aquired one of my bank positions last year. SOLD out LEVi in April. Reduced positions in following since March: EMR / GE / MRK / QCOM / XOM. All sells initiated were profit taking as well as for cash building. Added to other long standing positions with a net YoY dividend increase of ~28%. {Watching market as we head into this 2nd half of the year. Though it is an election year, market appears to be building froth in certain companies and sectors. Something will trigger a sell signal but have not yet seen this materialize}.

I love it!! I love how flexible you are and willing to pivot along the way. That’s man you’ve helped me along the way over the years in investing.

I recently sold out of T 117 shares and ended in the green $4.50. Then I picked up 40 shares of O now I'm up to 100 shares total of O. I plan to drip that position going forward it's my largest single holding. I also grabbed a share of VYM and V.

I also sold out of apple this month. Added to my national grid position instead. My apple position was about 0.2% of my portfolio so really small. But i managed to get a 20% return on it so i'm happy. Coca cola for me is gonna be a hold forever and it's my 3rd largest single stock position in my portfolio

The last position that I sold out of was 80 shares of Cisco on June 28. As my teenage daughter would say, it's a "Meh" stock. Then I bought 5 more shares of Realty Income, and kept the remaining cash for a rainy day.

I like the move From AAPL to V!!! Better yield and Div growth for sure! I will eventually also sell AAPL since I have it on my Income focus portfolio.
Great update!!!

[arigutman]

Love to see the trimming happening here, Ryne... When I decided to take more of an Ackman approach and focus on 10 or so position, I saw MASSIVE returns.

I sold Apple. Bought it at 168 in April and sold it today. 2250 profit.

[tammiegriffin]

I actually just bought into Apple about ago. I purchased 3 shares @ $177.64 in my Taxable account and in my IRA I sold off QYLD and ended up with 7.9 shares of Apple @ $195.41.

Great job! Ya know we all have a different approach with our investing. I'm 60 and I got way behind. I sold EPD and used that NICE profit and bought JEPQ and O. My goal is to get good monthly income rolling. However rotation is a key here, just because I sold a good company doesn't mean I won't purchase it again in the future. Buy low sell high and enjoy the divs as well!

[SethroBodine]

Selling things like KO and APPL would be hard to do for me… but I also have VICI… and Visa is of course a great company

[Nick-zdcr]

I have O and Vici in roth. Tax free dividends!!! Also Jepq and Main in roth is awesome to have.
