Dividend Broadcaster

I have a small tech portfolio that I manage on the side. Loving the green today. 🟢🟢🟢 $RKLB showing some life this week.

The biggest anchor in my retirement plan was $VTI. In my accumulation years, I DCA’d into $VTI monthly. For decades. It wasn’t particularly exciting, but I was too busy with my career to research individual stocks, and I wanted a broad, diversified, stock ETF with low fees. This ETF checked all the boxes. Who is $VTI best suited for? Investors that want: ➡️ Simplicity ➡️ Low costs ➡️ Diversification ➡️ Long-term growth What does $VTI invest in? The top five sectors include: 1. Tech 2. Financials 3. Industrials 4. Healthcare 5. Consumer cyclicals

After two decades of investing in real estate, I’ve learned some important truths: ➡️Purchase price is critical if you want to make money. ➡️Quality tenants matter more than raising rents. ➡️Appreciation is nice, cash- flow is better. ➡️Don’t neglect saving for CapEx. Keep a cash cushion. ➡️One vacancy can derail a whole year’s profits. ➡️Leveraging a property manager’s expertise is an underrated way to keep your sanity. ➡️Location is more important that you think. ➡️ Tax advantages should be included when evaluating whether or not to invest in rentals. Real estate investing requires a strong stomach, but it is a proven way to build long-term wealth.

Crazy game. #onepride

Behavioral finance research shows that investors panic sell and move into cash when a 20%-30% market decline occurs. Do you have the stomach to keep investing during a decline that size or bigger? It’s a big wealth-builder if you do.

Every portfolio should have its core positions. For me, these are the five positions I consider to be the bedrock of my holdings: 1. $VTI 2. $VXUS 3. $BND 4. $MSFT 5. $GOOGL

Solid way to end the week. Dividends from $SPYI and $IWMI. Also, a monthly payout from a real estate syndication. Total dividends: $2367.77
