Buy the Dip?

$MAIN (-1.86%)

I would be interested to know whether anyone has already bought more or would rather wait a little longer.

February 2025 Portfolio update

What a crazy rollercoaster this month it is.

$TXN (-3.11%) was my smallest position. I originally opened it to start and buy more later on so as to have a complete portfolio of 10 stocks what I was aiming for. The reason why I've sold it is I expect them to have financial issues that will lead to a dividend cut. I work in the electronics industry and TI has one of the nicest portfolios of electronic semiconductors, but financially I don't like how much debt they have at this moment and how small FCF they are generating. Furthermore, trump trade wars can also impact this company quite significantly so for me it is nota good fit at this moment.

$LMT (+0.59%) I believe is one of not many US stocks that will not be impacted that significantly in the upcoming years.

$VEUR (-1.19%) adding this ETF was a bit surprise, but since my priority at this moment are EU stocks it fits really nicely in my portfolio.

Transactions:

$ASML (-2.79%) - Bought x0.5 at €690.00

$LMT (+0.59%) - Bought x0.35 at $440.00

$VEUR (-1.19%) - Bought x3 at €42.70

$TXN (-3.11%) - Sold x0.35 at $184.14 (full position)

Dividends:

$ASML (-2.79%) x1 Dividends at €1.52

$MAIN (-1.86%) x10 Dividends at $0.25

$TXN (-3.11%) x0.35 Dividends at $1.36

$BMY (+0.34%) x3 Dividends at $0.62

Unrealized gain/loss: +1.47%

Realized gain/loss: -8.83% (-€5.977)

What does $MAIN have to do with falling interest rates?
Right, nothing at all.

This is not a bank 😅

Laying of the foundation stone

I have now also laid the foundations for a monthly savings plan. You have to start with a position at some point, even if it's close to the ATH.

That doesn't play a major role with monthly savings plans. I also have a savings plan at $MAIN.

Is the apple really sour?

$MAIN (-1.86%) seems to know only one direction at the moment. Upwards. The €60 mark has been cracked and if I look at its popularity, this will certainly not be the end.

Not really nice for me, who caught a nice entry price of €39 but unfortunately didn't make any additional purchases.

As I'm a fan of dividends, I'm now annoyed by the small amounts in Main.

I would like to gradually get to the point where I receive at least €10 per distribution. Exceptions prove the rule. 3M and TSMC will not be topped up.

So be it. So far I've only made individual purchases, but now that Smartbroker's savings plans are also free, I'm switching. There are more important things at the moment than putting a lot of money into the portfolio every month anyway.

So let's get to the savings plans.

Right now $MAIN (-1.86%) I'm a bit ambivalent about it. I'm ruining my nice equity, but it's still one of the horses I'm betting on.

That's the sour apple I'm biting into.

Any opinions?

My purchase price is just under €38 and the savings plan is running. I don't see any major problems.
For the monthly dividend, I have high savings plans for $MAIN and $O 👍🏻

Dividend portfolio for long-term wealth accumulation!

Hello everyone,

For some time now, I have been pursuing the goal of building up a solid dividend portfolio that will generate passive income for me in the long term. My plan is to invest in five selected dividend stocks and reinvest the dividend income in order to achieve a respectable increase in assets over a period of around 20 years.

Current thoughts

$MAIN (-1.86%)
$O (-1.21%)
$PEP (+0.36%)
$ABBV (-1.13%)
S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF

Questions for the community

Which dividend stocks or ETFs can you recommend that fit my investment strategy?
What aspects should I pay particular attention to when selecting my dividend stocks?
How do you structure your dividend portfolios and what experiences have you had?

I look forward to your opinions, suggestions and recommendations!

Many thanks in advance for your support

The Beauty of Double Dividend

$MAIN (-1.86%) is a business development company specialized in equity capital to lower middle market companies.

In addiction of its #monthly dividend , it distributes a #quarterly one (mar-jun-sep-dec).

One share you can evaluate in order to increase your #passiveincome 💪📈

January 2025 Portfolio update

This month was quite special with a lot of opportunities. The biggest surprise was the phenomenal Q4 report of $ASML (-2.79%) . I was lucky to buy some more shares a few days before the announcement that's why the price I ended up paying is that good. I raise my personal buy target of $ASML (-2.79%) from €620-€650 to €680-€700.

$LMT (+0.59%) mixed earnings were expected by me but the price drop is quite good, that's why I decided to add more shares.

$PEP (+0.36%) have still very attractive price so I plan to continue to buy more and more. Currently, it's the 3rd biggest position in my portfolio and for now, I plan to keep it like this.

Transactions:

$PEP (+0.36%) - Bought x1.3 at $150.30

$LMT (+0.59%) - Bought x0.4 at $459.90

$ASML (-2.79%) - Bought x0.7 at €629.60

$TTE (-0.35%) - Bought x3 at €55.00

$PEP (+0.36%) - Bought x0.7 at $144.99

Dividends:

$MAIN (-1.86%) x10 Dividends at $0.25

$MO (+1.93%) x2 Dividends at $1.02

$VICI (-1.2%) x4 Dividends at $0.433

$TTE (-0.35%) x2 Dividends at €0.79

$PEP (+0.36%) x2 Dividends at $1.355

Unrealized gain/loss: +4.13%

Realized gain/loss: NA

At these prices, ASML is still a good buying opportunity for long-term investors in my view

Maxing MAIN

I'm considering to go all in into $MAIN (-1.86%) . Any thoughts?

Main is a steady dividend payer with big growth in the dividend and the stock itself. I know it is not wise to go full port on one stock, but if you see the stats of main... Why not? #scaredmoneydoesn'tmakemoney

MAIN is one of the biggest position in my portfolio. At this price I would say is a bit overpriced so I wouldn't expect any hi price gains in this year. In general it is quite good company to have but I wouldn't be surprised if the value will drop someday in this year to around 50$. In that case I would be buying more but to not exceed more than 20% of my full portfolio value.
