Before the moment is over again, I would like to take a moment to celebrate my first small milestone: after almost a year of active trading, I have reached €10,000.

Most of the time I was still a student - with small savings rates, a lot of curiosity and learning by doing (and many mistakes). I've now been working as an engineer for a month and can invest properly for the first time. I'm excited to see where the journey will take me.

I am pursuing a long-term growth strategy, but I also like the charm of dividends as a motivator. With half of the bonuses, I will probably buy individual shares or burn a penny or two by gambling.

I know things aren't going perfectly, but I'm prepared to learn from mistakes and constantly question my strategy.

One small fly in the ointment: my Mercedes shares are currently still blocked.

I look forward to your feedback, experiences and tips - on the subject of crypto, I'm still torn as to whether I've missed the party.

Hello Getquin Community,

I would be interested to know: What are your top dividend stocks or which ones do you currently have on your watchlist that you would like to add to your portfolio?

My strongest stocks at the moment are definitely $HSBA (+0,21 %) and $BATS (-0,17 %) Both deliver solid dividend yields and are real classics in the dividend strategy sector.

I'll add a few more to the list - I'm looking forward to your additions:

$SREN (+1,19 %)
$ZURN (+0,51 %)
$MO (-0,38 %)
$CVX (-0,43 %)
$MAIN (-1,1 %)
$O (-0,83 %)

$MAIN (-1,1 %)

I met the Main Street Capital a little while ago, it seems tailor-made for my dividend investor 😂

✔️ Monthly dividends

✔️ High yield

✔️ Solid and apparently well-managed business

✔️ Consistent distribution history (and even extra dividends!)

It was one of those companies that, as soon as I discovered it, I thought:

"How come I've only just discovered this?"

🔍 For now I'm going to start following her closely and accumulate it progressively.

It fits perfectly with my goal of building a stable and growing passive income portfolio.

Hello everyone,

For some time now I have been wavering a bit about my dividend portfolio, whether I should use the 6 ETF savings plans (always staggered distributions for monthly cash flow) are not too complicated. About me: I'm in my mid-thirties and the aim is to build up more and more net monthly salaries through dividends over time. I enjoy looking at my bar charts in Portfolio Performance over the years and seeing how they get bigger and bigger every year compared to the previous year. For this year, I expect to earn around €3,700 in dividends with my current portfolio.

----- ----- -----

The Morningstar X-Ray already shows a lot of stock overlaps. The aim was always to combine 2 ETFs per interval with 1 each with high distributions + and 1 each with growth and to have good diversification:

January, April, July, October

$ISPA (+0,43 %) + $EXX5 (-0,5 %)

February, May, August, November

$FGEQ (+0,11 %) + $IMEU (-0,08 %)

March, June, September, December

$TDIV (-0,25 %) + $VHYL (-0,38 %)

+ $O (-0,83 %) + $MAIN (-1,1 %) + $ARCC (-0,61 %) + $VICI (-0,68 %) + $HTGC (-0,66 %) + $BATS (-0,17 %)

----- ----- -----

The ETFs have a value of approx. 15,500€ per interval, the REITs + BDCs below together approx. 31,000€. I would also like to invest in savings plans with dividend growth shares, whereby I want to proceed according to certain criteria: https://aktienkoenig.de/starke-dividendenaktien-mit-dem-dividenden-check-finden/#elementor-toc__heading-anchor-3

Would you simplify the dividend ETFs and reduce them from 6 to 3 or replace them if necessary, because that is overdiversified anyway, or should I rather "shut down" some of them and continue to save only 3 of them increased? I am basically undecided at the moment as to whether I should focus on higher dividend payouts or rather higher dividend growth. At the moment, I think it's all mixed up.

After making my first small investments of a few hundred euros in the stock market in February '25, I added a larger amount in the course of April. It also took some time to develop an investment strategy; where do I want to invest? What risk do I want to take? Accumulating or distributing? ETFs and/or individual shares? If so, which ones and why? Are there specific countries and/or sectors I would like to focus on?

Only at the end of last week were all the answers to these questions clear: a long-term investment horizon of just over 35 years with relatively low risk. A healthy ETF/share mix of 60/40. Distributing portfolio with high-yield and high-growth positions and with a relative focus on the USA and Europe.

I have a good feeling that I am happy with my strategy in the long term and finally no longer have to constantly turn the entire portfolio inside out.

My ETFs and individual stocks are $HMWO (+0,2 %)
$TDIV (-0,25 %)
$DGSD (+0,45 %)
$MAIN (-1,1 %)
$NOVO B (-1,16 %)
$PGR (-1,42 %)
