228Additional dividend stock?!
Hi everyone, to be honest, I work on my portfolio almost every day. But I would also like to say in a timely manner: Hey, that's good now... The savings plans run monthly, I don't stress myself and look at the portfolio in a few years and see what the compound interest effect has created 🔥🤩🚀
I also still have Bitcoin and crypto, but I trade anti-cyclically and in a 4-year cycle. Will most likely liquidate everything at the end of the year 🔥💰
My portfolio currently consists of the following ETFs + individual stocks:
3) $RBOT (-0,34%) all 3 are accumulating and have been running for almost 1.5 years now.
I also bought these 3 etfs (distributing) a few weeks ago. I became aware of them here on the site and found them very attractive due to the monthly cash flow. I think it's better to have such etf's than other individual stocks.
4) $TDIV (-0,12%) (quarterly)
5) $JEPQ (+0,44%) (monthly)
6) $JEGP (+0,13%) (monthly)
I find the dividend yield on all 3 etfs very nice and high.
I also have these 5 dividend stocks:
1) $PEP (+0,3%)
2) $O (-0,52%)
And 5) $STAG (-1,6%)
But I would like to sell Stag because the dividend growth is not so big and strong for me... and maybe get $D05 (-0,08%) instead? The dividend growth looks very strong there... Or which stock would you recommend?
I would be interested in your opinion on the portfolio or the individual stocks.
Thanks for any feedback, whether criticism or praise.
I would like to save all the stocks in the long term and then have a nice big portfolio in 20-30 years and receive a great cash flow 🔥💰🤝
Best regards
Chris
so if I've understood correctly, you have 6 Etfs, which would definitely be too many for me.
Also, how can you not have Allianz?🤯And Allianz should fit perfectly into your strategy - top company and top dividend that is increased every year. Have fun and continued success in building your wealth.
Best regards :)
Dividend strategy
This is my first post, so please don't hate. 🙂
I've been using the dividend strategy for a year now because it motivates me to stick with it. The simple one-ETF solution is too boring for me in the long run - I have more fun following individual stocks from time to time.
So far, I've mainly invested in dividend ETFs, and I want to keep it that way. However, I would like to add a few individual stocks to my portfolio to make it more interesting.
My goal is a maximum of 10 individual stocks so that I don't lose track. Here are the stocks I'm currently looking at:
- Realty Income ($O (-0,52%) )
- Main Street Capital ($MAIN (+0,01%) )
- Agree Realty ($ADC (-0,86%) )
- STAG Industrial ($STAG (-1,6%) )
- BlackRock ($BLK (-0,69%) )
- The Home Depot ($HD (-0,84%) )
- Munich Re ($MUV2 (+0,16%) )
- Chevron ($CVX (-0,46%) )
- American Electric Power ($AEP (-0,11%) )
- Waste Management ($WM (-0,47%) )
- Sixt Vz. ($SIX2 (+4,09%) )
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!
Whether the values fit also depends on what you mean by "dividend strategy" and what your goal is.
What do you think about these savings plans?
Just wanted to ask what you think of the savings plans.
$KO (-0,15%) 70€ mntl.
$MAIN (+0,01%) 60€mntl.
$MWRD (-0,2%) 120€mntl.
$EIMI (-0,47%) 80€mntl.
$TDIV (-0,12%) 80€mntl.
Would you change the savings rates here?
I'm still missing my dividend on TR with payday 06/13/25 from Main Street Capital. Who else?
Just give TR a call and ask...
Share becomes a fund?
How is this to be understood?
$MAIN (+0,01%) An investment fund now?

More ETF(s) make sense? The head is buzzing 🤯
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 (+0,3%) , $O (-0,52%) , $MAIN (+0,01%) , $NVDA (+0,01%) 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 (+0,44%) 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 (-0,44%) 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
Chris
From individual shares to ETFs
Hello everyone,
I am currently toying with the idea of reorganizing my portfolio.
It currently looks like this:
50 % $HMWO (-0,2%)
20 % $AEEM (-0,49%)
30 % Shares with reference to dividend($MAIN (+0,01%) , $O (-0,52%) , $PEP (+0,3%) 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 (-0,16%)
30% $JEGP (+0,13%)
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 (-0,14%)
15% $JEGP (+0,13%)
Objective here: as with option 1, only slightly less reallocation work and slightly less risk.
Option 3:
55% $VWRL (-0,16%) or as ACC
25% $VHYL (-0,14%)
15% $JEGP (+0,13%)
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 🙂.
Anyone Else Balancing Stocks, Dividends and Crypto?
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about balance in investing. My portfolio now includes everything from high-yield monthly payers like $O (-0,52%) and $MAIN (+0,01%), to long-term compounders like $NOVO B (-0,23%) and $PEP (+0,3%) , and even some more speculative recovery bets like $INTC (-1,24%) .
But I’m not just in traditional equities — I also hold crypto, with positions like $ADA (+0,91%) and $AVA (-1,81%). $ADA (+0,91%) represents my belief in scalable, energy-efficient blockchain infrastructure, while AVA is a high-conviction pick tied to real-world use cases in the travel space.
Some picks underperform, others outperform — and that’s fine. The goal isn’t to win every race, it’s to build a system that works across different market cycles, generates income, captures growth, and gives me peace of mind.
Curious to hear how others approach this. Are you fully in on growth? Passive ETFs? Crypto-heavy? Or do you mix themes like I do?

Just added Main Street Capital (MAIN) to the portfolio
After opening a position in Realty Income to strengthen the stable, income-generating side of my portfolio, I decided to complement it with Main Street Capital (MAIN)
While Realty Income gives me exposure to real estate and long-term commercial leases, MAIN brings something different to the table: it’s a business development company that invests directly in small and mid-sized U.S. businesses. I like the diversification this adds, both in terms of sector and structure.
What convinced me was the solid track record of monthly dividends, plus the potential for special dividends, which gives the position both reliability and upside. It’s also internally managed, which I see as a positive for cost control and alignment with shareholders.
Together, these two holdings help me move towards a portfolio that can deliver steady, diversified income — especially important as I balance out higher-risk assets on the other side.
