These 20 individual U.S. Stocks 🇺🇸 I intend to hold them for a long time as an investment geared toward value stocks and creating a steady and growing passive income, including several Dividend Aristocrats and Dividend Kings that flank higher dividend-paying Business Development Companies (BDCs) so as to make up in part for the relative low distributions of many of the more defensive stocks in the 20 selected Stocks.
As I see it, it's a collection of US large caps, mainly from the consumer goods sector with a few additions from other industries.
If you are betting that the historical growth of established companies like CocaCola will continue, you can certainly follow this approach.
Personally, I would have too many individual stocks to monitor. I think that the share price performance will also lag a good deal behind an investment in tech stocks - but of course that's the famous looking into the crystal ball.
For my own strategy of a distribution portfolio, actual dividends would be too low for me. However, if you are looking for dividend growth and substance, you can certainly add these stocks to your portfolio. Alternatively, there are certainly ETFs that follow the underlying approach (US large caps ex tech).
