Just received my dividend from 50 shares of Shell
And I’ve got to say, this moment really hits different. It’s a small payout in absolute terms, but symbolically it means a lot: this is the start of reaping the rewards of long-term dividend investing.
Shell has been one of the anchors in my portfolio offering solid cash flow, strong dividend history, and exposure to the energy transition. I appreciate the stability, but also the resilience the company has shown in changing times.
This payout gave me a moment to reflect: while dividend stocks like Shell form the base of my portfolio, I’m also shifting more into growth-oriented companies to balance out my strategy and maximize future capital gains.
📈 This is just the beginning. The snowball is rolling and I’m excited to keep building.
Do you combine dividend and growth stocks in your portfolio too?
Or are you all in on one strategy?
