This is my first post, so please don't hate. 🙂

I've been using the dividend strategy for a year now because it motivates me to stick with it. The simple one-ETF solution is too boring for me in the long run - I have more fun following individual stocks from time to time.

So far, I've mainly invested in dividend ETFs, and I want to keep it that way. However, I would like to add a few individual stocks to my portfolio to make it more interesting.

My goal is a maximum of 10 individual stocks so that I don't lose track. Here are the stocks I'm currently looking at:

• Realty Income ($O (-0.69%) )
• Main Street Capital ($MAIN (+1.52%) )
• Agree Realty ($ADC (-0.92%) )
• STAG Industrial ($STAG (+0.16%) )
• BlackRock ($BLK (+0.41%) )
• The Home Depot ($HD (-0.48%) )
• Munich Re ($MUV2 (-0.42%) )
• Chevron ($CVX (+0.45%) )
• American Electric Power ($AEP (-0.23%) )
• Waste Management ($WM (-0.41%) )
• Sixt Vz. ($SIX2 (+1.17%) )

My questions for you:

👉 Are these stocks generally suitable for a dividend strategy?

👉 Is there potential for improvement in terms of sector and country allocation?

👉 Is there a stock that you think should definitely not be missing?

Looking forward to your opinions and tips!

Just wanted to ask what you think of the savings plans.

$KO (-1%) 70€ mntl.

$MAIN (+1.52%) 60€mntl.

$MWRD (+0.24%) 120€mntl.

$EIMI (+0.14%) 80€mntl.

$TDIV (+0.07%) 80€mntl.

Would you change the savings rates here?

$MAIN (+1.52%)

How is this to be understood?

$MAIN (+1.52%) An investment fund now?

Hi dear community!

Briefly about myself, I am relatively new to the world of investing... I have been with Trade Republic since last May and now save 4 Etf's per month and have some single stocks like $PEP (-0.47%) , $O (-0.69%) , $MAIN (+1.52%) , $NVDA (+0.08%) etc. which should generate additional cash flow for me.

However, I've been in the crypto world since 2023 and have invested most of my money there, but in the next few months everything will be liquidated, bull run and the parabolic rises will hopefully come soon.

Unfortunately, I currently only have €400 to invest each month.

The ETFs are invested as follows:

iShares MSCI World 200€ (accumulating)

iShares MSCI EM IMI 75€ (accumulating)

iShares Automation & Robotics 50€ (Accumulating)

VanEck Developed Markets Div Lead (newly added a few days ago) 75€

Considering adding more ETFs in the future!

I am very fond of the $JEPQ (+0.47%) and I would also like to invest even more in a Stoxx Europe ETF. But I'm still unsure whether I should go for the Europe 50 or the Europe 600 $EXSA (+0.13%) and whether distributing or accumulating would be the better choice!

If I liquidate my crypto portfolio, I will have a 6-digit sum to reinvest. Above all, Bitcoin will then be heavily invested again at the end of 2026 (most likely the low point of the next bear market)!

I'm looking forward to your answers and your current and future advice.

Thanks and best regards

Hello everyone,

I am currently toying with the idea of reorganizing my portfolio.

It currently looks like this:

50 % $HMWO (+0.25%)

20 % $AEEM (+0.15%)

30 % Shares with reference to dividend($MAIN (+1.52%) , $O (-0.69%) , $PEP (-0.47%) etc)

The whole thing is currently also fueled via a savings plan every month. Furthermore, all dividends are reinvested! This should also happen in the future (build up cash flow).

Now I would like to slim down my portfolio a bit and possibly swap the allocation or the ETFs (world + emerging) and exchange the shares for an ETF with dividends. I would also like to add some BTC. This should simplify the portfolio and reduce the effort involved. Nevertheless, it should also generate returns!

Now I have 2-3 ideas to rebuild the whole thing and would like to ask the swarm!

Option 1:

65% $VWRL (+0.29%)

30% $JEGP (-0.41%)

5% $BTC (-0.95%)

Target here: All world as a base, plus some divi power and monthly cash flow (replaces shares) + BTC on top. Overall a little more risk.

Option 2:

55% current Etfs World+emerging

25% $VHYL (+0.38%)

15% $JEGP (-0.41%)

5% $BTC (-0.95%)

Objective here: as with option 1, only slightly less reallocation work and slightly less risk.

Option 3:

55% $VWRL (+0.29%) or as ACC

25% $VHYL (+0.38%)

15% $JEGP (-0.41%)

5% $BTC (-0.95%)

You are welcome to share your ideas, feedback or similar.

I don't want to start a discussion about dividends, as there has been a lot of talk about them recently: yes, no, why and why not!

Thank you 😇!

Have a great start to the USA week 🙂.

Hello everyone,

Since many people here are invested in $MAIN (+1.52%) there must be someone who can answer my questions. Does Mainstreet usually reclassify its dividends in the following year? At least I could see on their site that there is no ROC.

If so, what impact does this have on withholding tax or final withholding tax?

Thanks for your feedback.

Hello everyone,

When I started I "just started" and of course made mistakes. It's typical when you think you're smarter than the market or are chasing hype. Now I'm slowly shifting my portfolio towards dividends. This is only happening slowly because I don't want to sell the shares at a loss.

The $JEGP (-0.41%) I've brought into the boat and am currently considering whether $O (-0.69%) into this one. Or add them on the side $MAIN (+1.52%) as a monthly payer. I'm convinced by all three.

$JEGP (-0.41%) currently has about half the payout at half the value. The advantage is that it is simpler and no withholding tax is deducted.

What do you think?

Three-pronged with $O (-0.69%) and $MAIN (+1.52%) or single-track pure $JEGP (-0.41%) and then maybe add the other two at some point.

The aim is to create the following portfolio via the savings rate

$VWRL (+0.29%) 60%

$TDIV (+0.07%) 10%

$FGEQ (+0.2%) 10%

$JEGP (-0.41%) 10%

$BTC (-0.95%) 10%

and supplement it with shares.

Of course, everything is long-term (I still have at least 24 years until retirement) and buy'n hold.

Oh yes: concrete gold is available and will remain so.

Discussion is open. Thanks for the feedback.
