I just posted my April 2025 dividend portfolio update on YouTube and wanted to share some key takeaways with you all, plus open up the discussion for feedback or strategy ideas.

$VICI (+1,86%) extending my position in the world of gambling and leisure.

I just started a new video series where I take a closer look at specific stocks. This first video is about VICI Properties (VICI) – one of the more unique REITs on the market today. For those unfamiliar, $VICI (+1,86%) owns major gaming, hospitality, and entertainment properties including Caesars Palace, MGM Grand, and others. It's essentially your way to invest in the Las Vegas Strip without flying to Nevada.

Here’s a quick rundown of what I cover:

- VICI has been growing at over 6%, with a current dividend yield of 5.7%.

- The company has a strong track record of acquisitions and lease agreements, making it a major player in its niche.

- My valuation analysis shows it’s trading just below fair value, and with potential rate cuts on the horizon, this could give REITs like VICI a nice tailwind.

- That said, the concentration in casino and entertainment assets does raise the question— is this a stable long-term hold, or are we gambling with our portfolios?

Would love to hear your thoughts:

- Are you holding VICI or thinking of adding it to your watchlist?

- How do you weigh the risk/reward of niche REITs like this one?

This month I got my first dividend payments since I've started investing in February from $O (+1,62%)
$VICI (+1,86%) and $VWRL (+0,84%) and the REITS went up nicely to cover the crash and my EUR>USD loss on paper. Let's see if the orange man can give more discounts soon.

I didn't have much liquidity but had enough to buy some $VICI (+1,86%) shares.

I recently started my investing journey in February—just before the market started dipping—and I wanted to share my second portfolio update and some of the lessons I’ve learned early on.

I began with a focus on building a dividend portfolio, leaning toward REITs like VICI ($VICI (+1,86%) ) and Realty Income ($O (+1,62%)). Despite the market correction, these stocks held up fairly well, and by the end of March, my portfolio hit around $11K with an expected $440 in annual dividend income. I'm now working toward a short-term goal of $500/year in dividends.

In my latest YouTube video, I walk through:

• My first few transactions as a new investor
• What it was like investing during a downturn
• Why I focused on defensive stocks and REITs
• The early performance of my picks
• My next goals and plans for the channel

Would love to hear your thoughts—how did your first few months of investing go? Did you also start during a rocky market? What helped you stay calm or focused?
