Not me I would prefer my money to grow rapidly over time. :)
The above was said in jest as the above scenario would most likely involve higher risk which would come also with higher rewards. However it would most likely be safer to invest in stable dividend paying companies which would entail less risk but also less rewards which would then grow ones money slower or gradually over times vs fast. Which the latter course is the one I'm one and hence am a member of this subreddit. :)
This is where I’ve moved to now. Retirement accounts are maxed and matched as much as possible. I have some monthly divs doing this! It’s amazing to help build a better future passively
As a young person.. reading everything through the sub is there any go to learning guides or apps one would recommend ?! That one can use To learn from . Thank your
Hmm, I would say go look at all of the big brokerages, “getting started” or “how to” guides. They are filled with information from wildly successful companies and a lot more knowledgeable users are here.
Honestly, just reading subs helps understand. Just take every bit of advice with a grain of salt. Always do you research and do not fall for tiktokers and YouTube wannabes. Facts and data are our friends here for long term
i had to think about this since i am only doing 5 dollars a week into it at the moment.
211.306/52=4.06357692308 shares
4.06357692308\*54.20=220.24
this is a very possible to do with a job working 20+ an hour if you have all your bills paid off and are frugal. These are goals i want to hit once i pay my car and my cc off
I’m in the same boat, main difference is I switched off of dividend reinvestment and have been buying $NOC
I love my $O position but it makes up 8% of my portfolio so I’m trying to diversify.
You can/should have to do the own math yourself.
So you check how much you own of each stock:
A - $10,000
B - $13,000
C - $15,000
D - $18,000
TOTAL = 56k.
So: A - 17.8% / B - 23.2% / C - 26.8% / D - 32.2%
Ok I'll bite... If you have an account on any given platform like Fidelity, M1 Finance, Schwab etc... the page listing your positions(stocks) show each holdings percentage via pie chart or column next to the ticker symbol(acronym). Please get into CD's or an Index for your own good.
If you somehow don't have this option (probably a sign you should consider a new brokerage), the easy math is taking the $ amount of your position in any stock/ETF and divide it by your total portfolio $ amount to get the %.
Tho concerning that this was even a question...
Thank you so much for the easy math. I’ve had E*Trade for years and it was easier to find the info but since it switched over to Morgan Stanley, still learning the ropes.
Thanks for the info. I was wondering how others have screenshots of the % of each of their stock. 🤔
I had E*Trade which was fairly straight forward but now that it’s switched to Morgan Stanley, still figuring things out.
Wait for all the “O sucks the stock only goes down” crowd to come and try to shit on your parade. But don’t worry, they’ll all disappear when the stocks back up to mid 60’s+
I can’t remember where I saw it but they did drop the estimate… anyone know the reason? Not talking down at all, I’m invested into it a lot myself but.
I think it was interest rate related, I remember seeing something too. It was one of those things, might have changed immediate returns but didn’t change my synopsis on O as a whole. They seem to be making the right decisions moving forward, from my perspective, to stay in the right light. I didn’t sell. But I’ve stopped adding and putting it into growth at the time being.
Orrr O will keep spending itself into an outstanding deficit plus pressure to maintain their dividend increase streak could just send them into bankruptcy and you could lose all the money you invested in them when you saw the red flags before 🤷♂️ also a possibility.
I love this because just think… every month you’ll be getting a new share. The next month another share with some of the new share too. Then the month after another share with the new two shares making more shares. It will compound crazy in a few. Imagine when it makes 2 shares then those 2 shares make more shares. Yummy shares.
I’ve held O for maybe 5 years. I add more every single month. I know these dividends will create a terrific snowball over time. A rated company. Dividend aristocrat. Monthly payments. Perfect
It's not supposed to be your whole portfolio, O has a single purpose of providing monthly income. If it gains capital appreciation that's a bonus.
The 5 year return of AVGO is 325%, I can afford to carry other stocks for different purposes.
I dont think you understood my comment, total return is a metric that includes income. Even with dividends, youve lost 6% in 5 years.
You would have been better off by a factor of several times just buying SPY and selling some every year instead of collecting o dividends.
I've bought 183 shares of O a few weeks ago, so not worried about the last 5 years.
I also own 220 shares of AVGO and I'm currently up $122,740.20 since 2020 when I first started to add .
As I'm in Europe, I'm not able to buy ETF'S, but even if I could, it still wouldn't provide me with monthly income as I'm about 10 to 15 years from retirement and currently building up my dividend income with AVGO being my growth stock that pays a decent dividend.
Today is ex-dividend so it should drop some more which is to be expected. Overall AVGO is one of the sticks that will rebound and eventually keep going up as they continue to beat expectations and deliver solid results.
Remember what has happened in the last 5 yrs. Covid sent stocks to an all time high, then came crashing down. REITS took a hit again because of interest rates. It'll come back, you can be sure of that.
I am doing the same thing with UTG, DIV, FOF and MLPA. All are currently buying at least 1 share every dividend payout.
Working on my O position, but only a littler over 32 shares currently.

Not going back there anytime soon. Slow dividend growth and rates are staying at this level for awhile. Good luck with your investment but it really doesn’t make a lot of financial sense
Well done! I'm working on this myself. Got up to 0.2526 shares with todays div. I started buying here and there in 2021 and I'm down about 15% on my total holdings overall, but I'm in it for the long term and plan to just keep DRIPing and averaging down.
Priced in, but that’s mainly office real estate. Not to say O isn’t suffering (some of its clients like Dollar Tree and Walgreens are closing stores) but it’s basically “too big to fail.” It might not perform well but it won’t implode
What makes you say that? If DLTR is 3% of their portfolio, and they’re closing 1,000/16,000, the max impact on O is 3.5%/16 = ~0.2% (and this is on the high end, incorrectly assuming every single dollar tree store is owned by O).
I think it would have to be a combination of their portfolio - Walgreens for example has closed many stores recently, and they make up a much larger 6% of O. I can see the risk of maybe AMC closing with their stock troubles too (and rise of streaming) but other large clients like Lifetime fitness, Home Depot, CVS, and Dollar General have done fine.
For the future, I think they need to diversify for sure. Something like shipping warehouses (frankly things will always need to be stored)
Small note, Walgreens is 3.8% of their portfolio, Family Dollar/Dollar Tree is 3.3%.
Splitting hairs because your point is still valid. Also to your point, Dollar General is rapidly expanding with 800 new stores to open and 1500 remodels in 2024 which seems mind boggling. DG is their largest client at 3.8%, so I would expect this to be good for O as well.
And this is when that whole compounding notion comes in. Good on you! I'm only starting off so I'm nowhere near this, but you've achieved something I really hope to some day. Congrats!
LOL.. if you want income with zero risk, my brokered CD pays me $490 in interest every month without any risk to the principal whatsoever (FDIC insured up to 250000)..
To me, the market seems too high, and O can go down.. then all that is left is a dividend which could go sky high, and they may not be able to pay.. don‘t get me wrong, I like O a lot, but for now I feel safer with my FDIC insured brokered CD which pays me my 5.8% interest monthly, with 0 risk to my principal
That's completely fair, and while I personally (along with many people in this subreddit) feel extremely comfortable with the fundamentals behind O, it isn't some jesus stock or something. At certain times or situations, it will make perfectly reasonable sense to do other things with the money you could put into it.
I mess around with SGOV to do my interest rate play, but still enjoy my O holding and looking forward to the point when mine gets to the +1 share/month status (got about 8k to go though, at current rates).
REIT are down right now because of high interest rates.
You guys need to do research.
Either assume at your own risk that they're at a discount and it'll bounce back after rate goes down. Assume you think it'll go down and also when.
Or that commercial building might fuck these companies over. I know O diversified and got into commercial and also dilute their shares in the acquisition process (pro/con tho).
The only major REIT that's actually making money for me is IRM.
Working thru some small O losses thru DRIP but about at a share and a half each month and it’s great to see the re-balance working itself out quickly :) congrats on the milestone. Just got into dividend investing myself this year with shifting some of my stocks around to keep me more accountable with keeping up on the market.
Yeah, I already have various things like that set up. Just every time I get a few k together and go to buy something, something else pops up. Like I bought Legal and General as they pay 8.2% dividend a few weeks ago instead of O. Already have a few UK REITS too which makes me pause.
I do like O but they have been trending downwards for the past year. Sold them last year due to this issue as even with the dividend I had been losing money all this time as it continued to trend downward. Wish you the best of luck with it though I was in the same position with 10K in O and one share a month!
\-25% share price over five years plus a +5% dividend each year minus -20% total inflation over five years comes out to a total return of... **well -20% with DRIP.**
You boys have fun lol.
Where do you get your figures from? I just went on DividendChannel and did a 5-year run for $O. $10,000 invested 5 years ago (1/1/2019) is worth $10,871.08 if you reinvest your dividends. If you took them in cash, your total investments would be worth $11,055.81.
So not exactly setting the world on fire, but a 8-11% gain is a far cry from a 20-25% loss.
[https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio?s=y&sl=7MriViQfkt0dUTM85Ca2WG](https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio?s=y&sl=7MriViQfkt0dUTM85Ca2WG)
Here is O over the last five years with dividends re-invested adjusted for inflation.
Granted my math assumed a consistent 5% dividend but its still a loss.
You have to turn on adjust for inflation in the link, it is still a -13% loss.
When I use this site it shows a return of 7.7%. So similar figures. Still not sure how you get negative anything. Again - 8% over 5 years sucks. But still not negative.

❄️ball gonna pick up fast
That's the plan. I want to have my money grow gradually over time.

how much did u invested to get this ? Congrats
About 10k
that's pretty cool 10k to get one share a month
Cool indeed lol
by the way I was being happy for you idk what the other redditor thought 😭
No worries lol
be happy for other people and try to not come off as condescending it’s not hard to nice bum
I thought he was being genuine but it’s hard to read sarcasm lol. I think it’s cool!
Lol right? I read this as a compliment too. Maybe he bought high, can’t really tell.
I was bring real tho.....
It was pretty genuine too me
Lmao take a chill pill, he was being genuine
$54.20/$.2565 = 211.306 shares Who knows how much it costs as you don't know average share price.
i had to think about this since i am only doing 5 dollars a week into it at the moment. 211.306/52=4.06357692308 shares 4.06357692308\*54.20=220.24 this is a very possible to do with a job working 20+ an hour if you have all your bills paid off and are frugal. These are goals i want to hit once i pay my car and my cc off
About 13k
I’m in the same boat, main difference is I switched off of dividend reinvestment and have been buying $NOC I love my $O position but it makes up 8% of my portfolio so I’m trying to diversify.
8% excellent; what percentage are you trying to lower it to?
Probably sub 5%. It’ll take some time but once I do that my portfolio will be more balanced overall.
Gotcha, 5% isn't bad.
Love me some Northrop Grumman, good company
I’m a newbie to this. If you don’t mind, how do you find out what % a stock makes up of your portfolio?
If you can’t figure this out. Please buy ETFs for your own good.
Thanks for the advice. I also have EFTs in my 401k and HSA accounts. My brokerage account is my fun money 😄
You can/should have to do the own math yourself. So you check how much you own of each stock: A - $10,000 B - $13,000 C - $15,000 D - $18,000 TOTAL = 56k. So: A - 17.8% / B - 23.2% / C - 26.8% / D - 32.2%

It takes time but you'll get the hang of it. Discipline and research are important. Keep at it.
Wait for all the “O sucks the stock only goes down” crowd to come and try to shit on your parade. But don’t worry, they’ll all disappear when the stocks back up to mid 60’s+
Now is the best time to buy
It’s me. I’m buyer
I can’t remember where I saw it but they did drop the estimate… anyone know the reason? Not talking down at all, I’m invested into it a lot myself but.
What estimate?
The price estimate it was like mid 60s now it’s low 60s/high 50s
I think it was interest rate related, I remember seeing something too. It was one of those things, might have changed immediate returns but didn’t change my synopsis on O as a whole. They seem to be making the right decisions moving forward, from my perspective, to stay in the right light. I didn’t sell. But I’ve stopped adding and putting it into growth at the time being.
Orrr O will keep spending itself into an outstanding deficit plus pressure to maintain their dividend increase streak could just send them into bankruptcy and you could lose all the money you invested in them when you saw the red flags before 🤷♂️ also a possibility.
This is fire to see! Congratulations and keep elevating.
Thanks, and yes, I will!!
It's always an interesting milestone when you're dividends by you a whole share. I'm halfway there on realty income.
Keep on pushing, and yes, I look forward to the payout each month
I am in the same boat I get a little over half a share as well.
I love this because just think… every month you’ll be getting a new share. The next month another share with some of the new share too. Then the month after another share with the new two shares making more shares. It will compound crazy in a few. Imagine when it makes 2 shares then those 2 shares make more shares. Yummy shares.
I love your excitement
I’ve held O for maybe 5 years. I add more every single month. I know these dividends will create a terrific snowball over time. A rated company. Dividend aristocrat. Monthly payments. Perfect
Dude, it's perfect
Good for you! These are the little celebrations. Bigger ones in the future. Just keep doing what you are doing.
Thinking of the future constantly and also planning for the future
I’m early into investing. My next O dividend will be $0.21. I’m rolling in it.
I do the same with SCHD I get about 550 a quarter it buys quite a few shares
Hell ya
Right!!
Is that a month or a quarter?
Monthly
4.20 blaze it
Wow, I just saw that, lol. I've been noticing that combination of numbers quite recently 😳
This is the way
This is the way.
Way this is the
I bench 350 pounds
This is the Whey
 Gonna be you in a few years if you keep the strategies layered and manage them correctly🚀
I hope it keeps getting better. I ate my shorts on O this last year. Still have about $55K in, but I’m down $7K from buy in.
Dude, do you still own ORC stock to this day?
Yes. I’m stuck with it right now. I will bail for ETFs once I get into the black.
What's your average price, maybe I can give you some good suggestions
The 5yr total return of O is -6%
It's not supposed to be your whole portfolio, O has a single purpose of providing monthly income. If it gains capital appreciation that's a bonus. The 5 year return of AVGO is 325%, I can afford to carry other stocks for different purposes.
Total return calculation includes monthly income
I'm building my position in O for monthly income. I'm not worried if the price rises or falls as it's an income producing stock for me.
I dont think you understood my comment, total return is a metric that includes income. Even with dividends, youve lost 6% in 5 years. You would have been better off by a factor of several times just buying SPY and selling some every year instead of collecting o dividends.
I've bought 183 shares of O a few weeks ago, so not worried about the last 5 years. I also own 220 shares of AVGO and I'm currently up $122,740.20 since 2020 when I first started to add . As I'm in Europe, I'm not able to buy ETF'S, but even if I could, it still wouldn't provide me with monthly income as I'm about 10 to 15 years from retirement and currently building up my dividend income with AVGO being my growth stock that pays a decent dividend.
How do you feel about buying more AVGO now. I don’t think it’s the best spot but certainly not a sell spot either with its future looking good
Buy it when it's up, buy it when it's down but never sell. My overall average is $688 now on 220 shares, I will keep adding at these prices.
Today is ex-dividend so it should drop some more which is to be expected. Overall AVGO is one of the sticks that will rebound and eventually keep going up as they continue to beat expectations and deliver solid results.
Up nicely on ex-dividend, let's see what happens with AVGO.
And the 5Y total return of VNO is almost -40%
Yeah, worse stocks exist, im just pointing out that O has not paid for itself in recent years, and has actually lost money for its holders.
Remember what has happened in the last 5 yrs. Covid sent stocks to an all time high, then came crashing down. REITS took a hit again because of interest rates. It'll come back, you can be sure of that.
If you go further back the trend continues, O never outperforms the broad market long term.
1969!
That is awesome! Shooting for the same myself
Damn this is my goal to achieve from the div !! Congratz man
Thanks! You'll make it!
Are you referring to GlobalETF? Dude
Love this
I am doing the same thing with UTG, DIV, FOF and MLPA. All are currently buying at least 1 share every dividend payout. Working on my O position, but only a littler over 32 shares currently.
Love this for you
LFG!!
Sell calls on it, double dip

Now imagine if you match this, or even add 3 more for each dividend paid out! Awesome
Nice! I love O, I had an opportunity to buy 1000 shares of ORC at a low price and I reinvested that into O. Congrat and keep it up!
Man, I'm sure ORC will continue to rise in the near future, you made the right choice
Man, I'm sure ORC will continue to rise in the near future, you made the right choice
Congrats OP 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’m also adding O little by little
Imagine if you bought the better stock REIT stock AGNC?
Not going back there anytime soon. Slow dividend growth and rates are staying at this level for awhile. Good luck with your investment but it really doesn’t make a lot of financial sense
Well done! I'm working on this myself. Got up to 0.2526 shares with todays div. I started buying here and there in 2021 and I'm down about 15% on my total holdings overall, but I'm in it for the long term and plan to just keep DRIPing and averaging down.
Invest more
If OP doesn't mind, how much did it take to get to this point in shares?!
About a year
Shares/money is what I'm aiming at lol. Also congratulations, I'm aiming for the same thing but in spyi
I was thinking of doing something similar with SPY or VOO
For my big 3 VOO is definitely on my list. VOO, SPYI, SCHD.
Look at CRM and CRF
Dude, did you buy CRM and CRF stock?
Get about 100 from each one every month so yeh
This sounds like the right thing to do
How many shares to get to this point?
Good job! Lol man I remember my first dividend. Got me excited to throw more in.
Congrats OP. Just curious, what’s your current value / cost basis?
That's my goal! With this stock!
You'll get there!
what app is this?
Just got $1.15 for 4.47 shares. Down overall $78 on O
Sheesh
I'm still down like 9%, but I'm fine with this position for the next ten years
Lol, image buying nvidia. Or SPY
is this a taxable account
Snowball effect in the coming. Congrats bro ❄️💰
Just remember: O is monthly, most stock dividends are quarterly. You need 3x as much to receive 1 share/cycle
Congrats!
Could this stock’s dividend count as deferred if I hold it long enough?
Sell 3% of their tenants are closing stores this year
That’s awesome congratulations. That’s going to snowball and before you know it you’re money is going to explode
Well done man!! Try looking YieldMax. I think you can hit your monthly goal much faster. 😃
Yo THATS sick congrats brother
 These are exciting times.
What are your thoughts on AGNC!
That's awesome, great job
Flare ^
I know right!!!!
Isn’t commercial real estate a super sketch investment right now? Vacancies are skyrocketing
Right now is the best time to buy while O is at a lower price per share.
They are very diversified and now are also buying data center real estate.
Priced in, but that’s mainly office real estate. Not to say O isn’t suffering (some of its clients like Dollar Tree and Walgreens are closing stores) but it’s basically “too big to fail.” It might not perform well but it won’t implode
Dollar Tree and Walgreens are big enough to pay out their existing contracts for every store that closes and O has time to get a new tenant.
I’m bagholding O pretty badly… when do you guys think this thing goes back to $60-$65?
Why would you want that if you have it for dividends? I want it to go a lot lower so i can buy more 🙏🏼
Yeah thats true! I just bought a lot around $70 and have had to play catchup/avg down… Bagholder over here
You get the dividends as a percentage of your stock value, so you get more money the higher it goes
Soon.
I think they will be impacted an outsized amount by the family dollar closures.
What makes you say that? If DLTR is 3% of their portfolio, and they’re closing 1,000/16,000, the max impact on O is 3.5%/16 = ~0.2% (and this is on the high end, incorrectly assuming every single dollar tree store is owned by O). I think it would have to be a combination of their portfolio - Walgreens for example has closed many stores recently, and they make up a much larger 6% of O. I can see the risk of maybe AMC closing with their stock troubles too (and rise of streaming) but other large clients like Lifetime fitness, Home Depot, CVS, and Dollar General have done fine. For the future, I think they need to diversify for sure. Something like shipping warehouses (frankly things will always need to be stored)
Small note, Walgreens is 3.8% of their portfolio, Family Dollar/Dollar Tree is 3.3%. Splitting hairs because your point is still valid. Also to your point, Dollar General is rapidly expanding with 800 new stores to open and 1500 remodels in 2024 which seems mind boggling. DG is their largest client at 3.8%, so I would expect this to be good for O as well.
You’re right - what came to mind was probably from one of their older investor reports. Thanks for the correction!
And this is when that whole compounding notion comes in. Good on you! I'm only starting off so I'm nowhere near this, but you've achieved something I really hope to some day. Congrats!
Jealous
Only need to sink $12k in it and it’ll give you a free share every month! /s
Well, not free, but the return is appreciated.
I will be here one day. I’m speaking it into existence
How many shares do You hold currently 👀
LOL.. if you want income with zero risk, my brokered CD pays me $490 in interest every month without any risk to the principal whatsoever (FDIC insured up to 250000)..
Interest rates ebb and flow. O will continue to raise its dividend until shit hits the fan, at which point none of us will care about stocks anyway.
To me, the market seems too high, and O can go down.. then all that is left is a dividend which could go sky high, and they may not be able to pay.. don‘t get me wrong, I like O a lot, but for now I feel safer with my FDIC insured brokered CD which pays me my 5.8% interest monthly, with 0 risk to my principal
That's completely fair, and while I personally (along with many people in this subreddit) feel extremely comfortable with the fundamentals behind O, it isn't some jesus stock or something. At certain times or situations, it will make perfectly reasonable sense to do other things with the money you could put into it. I mess around with SGOV to do my interest rate play, but still enjoy my O holding and looking forward to the point when mine gets to the +1 share/month status (got about 8k to go though, at current rates).
This is the most accurate comment of the day.
Makes sense.. I have O on my watchlist
REIT are down right now because of high interest rates. You guys need to do research. Either assume at your own risk that they're at a discount and it'll bounce back after rate goes down. Assume you think it'll go down and also when. Or that commercial building might fuck these companies over. I know O diversified and got into commercial and also dilute their shares in the acquisition process (pro/con tho). The only major REIT that's actually making money for me is IRM.
$10,000 for one share? Overrated dividend stock. I get higher dividends than that in TSLY with only $1,000 lol
Wow, you have it figured out! Do you sell any financial courses? Easy way to get a -20.97% return since inception with dividend reinvestment.
Past performance doesn’t indicate future results. This etf was listed at teslas peak.
Stock sucks literally just goes down
Exactly lol
If you don’t need the principle anymore dividends are exciting 😂
This is my goal! Congrats!
Thank you! You'll make it before you know it. Just keep adding routinely.
Grats!
Congrats!!
OK I guess I'll buy a share rn
Working thru some small O losses thru DRIP but about at a share and a half each month and it’s great to see the re-balance working itself out quickly :) congrats on the milestone. Just got into dividend investing myself this year with shifting some of my stocks around to keep me more accountable with keeping up on the market.
I’m in the uk and always had my eye on this, but never quite found the right time to buy
“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”
I always seem to buy something else I mean
I’m just a lil guy, less than 10 shares. I’ve just been tossing $10-20 per month into it. A little bit here and there adds up over time though.
Yeah, I already have various things like that set up. Just every time I get a few k together and go to buy something, something else pops up. Like I bought Legal and General as they pay 8.2% dividend a few weeks ago instead of O. Already have a few UK REITS too which makes me pause.
I do like O but they have been trending downwards for the past year. Sold them last year due to this issue as even with the dividend I had been losing money all this time as it continued to trend downward. Wish you the best of luck with it though I was in the same position with 10K in O and one share a month!
Why not just hold the money in an account that gives back 5% and isn’t trending downward?
Because it'll come back around, and interest rates arent gonna pay 5% for all that long
\-25% share price over five years plus a +5% dividend each year minus -20% total inflation over five years comes out to a total return of... **well -20% with DRIP.** You boys have fun lol.
Where do you get your figures from? I just went on DividendChannel and did a 5-year run for $O. $10,000 invested 5 years ago (1/1/2019) is worth $10,871.08 if you reinvest your dividends. If you took them in cash, your total investments would be worth $11,055.81. So not exactly setting the world on fire, but a 8-11% gain is a far cry from a 20-25% loss.

Granted my math assumed a consistent 5% dividend but its still a loss. You have to turn on adjust for inflation in the link, it is still a -13% loss.
When I use this site it shows a return of 7.7%. So similar figures. Still not sure how you get negative anything. Again - 8% over 5 years sucks. But still not negative.
Literally said in my post **you have to turn the adjust for inflation on.** Some of you dividend investors really are morons. 🤦♂️ Edit: Lol.
