Southern Co

A portfolio more oriented to resilience the long-term growth of the dividend and to have a part of my total portfolio (consisting to date of +90% from ETFs) also a more "defensive" part and with companies that tend to increase their dividend or give an already high dividend, even if the majority is less than 4%

Staggered payments ensure a steady cash flow...

Estimated gross monthly income...

Edit: Here are the monthly distributions minus the -15% at source in the US and then the -26% Italian.

According to the chart you would have an average dividend of about 3.8% gross, taking out 15% and then 26% you would have 2.39% net, with the $SPYD you would have 2.23% gross (Distribution of 2025) so 1, 65% net, a difference of 0.74.

However, in the count there are Main and Ares which are not dividend aristocrats, you could get the same dividend by dividing the sum into 78% ETF, 11% Main and 11% Ares, this way you would have only 3 items to track instead of 20 (I asked chatgpt how much you need to have in Main and Ares to reach 2.39% net by taking the 2025 distribution as dividend yield).

Regarding the message earlier where you said the dividends had decreased, that is all because of the exchange rate effect, which you would also have by buying the 20 individual stocks, in fact an ETF having only dividend aristocrat the dividend has to necessarily increase from year to year, otherwise they would not be what they are.

The point of the whole argument is that you took stocks with the only discriminant being the dividend, try backtesting or asking the AI to compare this basket of stocks of yours with the benchmark index, if you notice an outperformance over time of what you selected then fine, if not, it was all wasted effort that you could have avoided with an ETF that has an annual yield of almost 12 percent

Here is the list of 20 "U.S. Stocks I plan to add to my portfolio!

With a total expenditure of €20,000 I intend to commit about €1,000 per single Stock; here is the list I made, tell me if you like it:

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).

In any case, I wish you every success 🙂

Milestone reached

On the 4th of februari 2026 at 13:10, I reached the 20k mark. Almost exactly one year after I reached the 10k. Something I didn't expected to reach that fast.

After my graduation on november the 4th 2025, I am working my student job for the time being. Since januari i'm fully job hunting and hoping to increase my income for further investments.

I'm happy with my current investments. My core: $NL0013689110 and $NL0015000PW1 (indexfund) at 50% is widely spread and a solid core.

My other investements are solid dividend stocks. Some bigger, some smaller but all helping reaching my goal. $JNJ (+0,68%)
$NN (+0,57%)
$ASRNL (+0,73%)
$PEP (+0,67%)
$AD (-0,2%)
$KO (+0,58%)
$CMCSA (+0,81%)
$ARCAD (-0,69%)
$AGN (+0,26%)
$HEIJM (-0,34%)
$BAMNB (+0,7%)
$SO (+1,04%)

Only $LIGHT (+0,63%) and $AXS (-0,59%) are on my sell list.

Have a great day!

Moin!

Am new to Getquin and actively investing since September 22.

Would like to hear your opinions about my portfolio.

The MSCI WRLD should form the core.

I don't want to add many positions to my portfolio, but rather expand existing ones.

I save by monthly savings plans and on occasion individual purchases.

Focus is on dividend stocks for monthly cash flow 🤑

In my portfolio, I really only want to expand the utilities and telecom sector.

Consideration Utilities:$AWK (+0,94%)
$SO (+1,04%)

Consideration Telecom: $CSCO (-2,6%)
$VZ (+0,27%)

Thanks for tips 🫡

Just my opinion: You have almost 40 stocks in your portfolio, with 32k portfolio value. That's way too many stocks to keep track of them all. I would sell everything that is < 1k and put it into the ETF instead. This is clearer, less time consuming and possibly more profitable at the end of the day. In addition, I would prefer a FTSE All-World as a core (also covers emerging markets). Of course, this would contradict your strategy of dividend stocks for monthly cash flow.
