Buying the dip, added 30 $ARCC (-0,01 %) and 16 $VZ (+0,59 %) to my portfolio. = €90,96 extra dividend/year.

Question to the community - Dividend
Hello everyone,
I follow the dividend strategy with the majority of my portfolio. The issue of taxes on dividends hurts considerably.
As I don't intend to spend the money or my investments, I thought I would invest in stocks such as $O (+1,18 %) or $VZ (+0,59 %) from my portfolio and buy them back from my child. I'm in the red anyway. However, I could use the children's tax-free allowance to avoid taxes. There is withholding tax, of course, but at least it's 12% less.
Does this make sense from your point of view, i.e. does my logic make sense? To be honest, I'm afraid of selling a security and then buying it again straight away. The price of REITs does not fluctuate very much.
I look forward to your suggestions and experiences. Thank you very much.

Why hold the high dividend stocks at all if you don't plan to spend the dividends in the foreseeable future? Why not buy something that is more tax-efficient and offers more long-term growth instead?

PT Update
Hello getquin community,
Today I decided to strengthen my portfolio by purchasing 5 shares of Target ($TGT (+1,14 %) ) and 15 shares of Verizon ($VZ (+0,59 %) ). I consider both undervalued, mainly due to their low P/E ratios, which suggest potential upside revaluation in the medium term. Moreover, recent improvements in balance sheet indicators, especially regarding debt management, highlight stronger financial positions for both companies.
Verizon has recently pulled back after hitting a key resistance level, offering an attractive entry point supported by a high dividend yield and long-term stability prospects. Target, on the other hand, continues its share buyback program, a strong signal of management’s confidence in the company’s intrinsic value.
Overall, I view these purchases as defensive yet growth-oriented positions in a still volatile market environment. My focus remains on solid companies whose fundamentals are improving and whose valuations don’t yet reflect their true operational strength.
What’s your investment of the month?

Starlink (5 shares) and T-Mobile US (15 shares) - I think they will be faster than Verizon with their global satellite network and widespread mobile connectivity

📈 Today I took an important step for my stock portfolio.
I decided to strengthen the position in $PYPL (+2,29 %) (+20 stocks) and, at the same time, to open new positions in $CMCSA (+1,04 %) (40 stocks) and $VZ (+0,59 %) (55 stocks).
The choice stems from two main motivations:
1️⃣ Portfolio diversification - by expanding exposure to different sectors, I reduce dependence on individual companies and increase overall stability.
2️⃣ Valuation of companies - PayPal, Comcast, and Verizon are companies that I consider to be financially sound and that, in my opinion, the market is undervaluing.
The goal is to combine potential growth and resilience in volatile phases.
🔎 I will continue to monitor performance and prospects, but I remain convinced that broadening the portfolio base on quality companies is a long-term strategic choice.

Build robots, earn shovels
The hype is all about humanoid robots, but the constant winners are in the background.
I have divided the analysis into two perspectives. 1. the complete value chain of humanoid robots, which shows all the players from the chip to the finished robot, and 2. the blade manufacturers in the background, who always earn money as enablers, regardless of which manufacturer wins the race.
ASML, Applied Materials and Tokyo Electron dominate in manufacturing technology. Quality assurance comes from Keysight, Advantest and Teradyne. Chip design is supported by Synopsys, Cadence and ARM. Data streams are secured by Arista Networks, Cisco and Equinix. The computing basis is created in the cloud by Amazon, Microsoft and Alphabet. Albemarle, Lynas and Umicore play a central role in raw materials and battery materials. These companies monetize their customers' investment waves, have high barriers to entry, service revenues and pricing power, but remain cyclical with risks from export rules, capex cuts and currency movements.

Any improvements?
This investment portfolio is for long term, focussing on buy and hold forever stocks.
I also put some growth stocks in for 5/10 years.
24 years old and i invest €1000 per month and i want to keep it under 15 positions.
I also think about putting it all in 1 etf, but it has to give me some nice dividend, maybe some suggestions or do you guys have some tips for improving my portfolio?
Some stocks that are now catching my eye:
$ALV (-3,43 %)
$AD (+1,72 %)
$VZ (+0,59 %)
$JNJ (+0,96 %)
$SHEL (+1,33 %)
$DTE (+1,15 %)
$KPN (+2,13 %)
$NN (-1,25 %)
$KO (+1,39 %)
$MCD (+0,48 %)
$NESN (+3,12 %)

At 24, you’re still young, so focus on growth rather than dividends this is the time to invest in your future and let compounding work its magic.
