How I'm Building A Monster Dividend Portfolio

Summary

  • Being a dividend growth investor does not require buying low-yielding stocks, nor does being an income-oriented investor require buying high-yield stocks.
  • Ideally, a dividend growth investor's passive income stream should be as safe, large, and fast-growing as possible. Balancing these three is tricky, but very important.
  • I've designed my portfolio like a Medieval galley ship, consisting of strong, high-quality "rower" stocks, calculated higher-risk "sail" stocks, and diversified dividend ETFs to act as the "ballast."
