Dividend Update October 2022

 

Happy (late) Halloween!!! 🎃 🎃 🎃 If was I going trick or treating I would go as my boy "Static Shock" from DC (childhood cartoon). "Static Shock" was my sh$t when I was a kid. The white/yellow goggles, gloves, blue jacket, white shirt with the static shock symbol & everything else and only the true G's would recognize who I'm dressed as lol. Alright so this month was nothing more than being consistent, so when I have a month where I'm just making repeated purchases it just going to be a cute little update. Like I stated last month I won't be buying any new positions until at least 2024, as far as my Taxable Account I pretty much got every high-conviction single stock I wanted (within reason) from my "strict" watchlist. The biggest mistake I've seen is where people continue to spread out their positions waaaay too thin when they would have been better off scaling up their higher convictions. Now I want every position in the Taxable account (main account) to be $10,000+. The Roth IRA (secondary account) will receive some changes over the next 12 months (slowly building a cash position). Basically replacing old positions with better "long term" performing positions (that have stronger metrics). So this update is super short, scroll down ⬇⬇⬇ to see October's dividends and purchases. Until next time 🍗 🍗 🍗

Dividend Update September 2022

 

Welcome back to the most unorthodox investing blog you will ever come across on the Internet. My favorite songs during September was 🎶 "Nookie" and "My Way" by Limp Bizkit 🎶. A 16 hour day feels so f$$king good 😈 🔥🔥🔥  its soo hard to stop. I'm like a formula one driver that loves embracing those brutal lateral G force's when your aggressively braking & accelerating throughout the turns on track and then topping out at 200 mph on the long straights over and over and over again. (#Full Throttle 🏁 ) My average contributions month by month are averaging between $2,000 to $3,000 a month. When I was 16 years old in high school I already had a feeling that I was going to grow up and be abnormal with money in my 20s. I'm not surprised, at 16 years old I was watching old YouTube videos on how to franchise a "Dollar tree" store, and I was sooooo OBSESSED with videos of Billionaire's. I don't know what life is like where your not pursing "wealth"...... I'm totally ignorant to that. Back in highschool already knew I was going to be "different". So there's a little "behind the scenes" treat to the very few that actually clicks and read the blog updates. So as usual scroll down to the dividend income. 

Roth IRA

Total: $119.64

Taxable Account

Total: $25.80

Grand Total: $145.44

Dividend Raises: MSFT = 9.68%, INTU = 14.7%

Purchases: 4 shares of (MPWR) ($1,589.18) & 2 shares of (NVDA) ($247.08)

(MPWR) Monolithic Power System is my second semi-conductor stock addition to the Taxable Account. Unlike (NVDA) which is my only long term "growth" position, this one is high dividend growth/high growth style single stock. This is the last "new" high-conviction single stock that ill be buying for 2022 & 2023. For the regular brokerage account, I will not be buying into any new positions until 2024. I just want to scale up my positions and the consistently dollar-cost average for the next 14 to 16 months as we could possibly hit the bottom or the market continues to crash either way I'm still buying more shares. For the Roth IRA ill be selling and replacing some positions with better single stocks. For right now I'm doing nothing with my Roth IRA, other than consistently building a cash position. The brokerage account by default is my primary account so don't expect much activity with the Roth IRA. So scroll down below to take a look at some info/metrics on my new addition to the Taxable Account (10 positions total).

Dividend Update August 2022

Ok, so I got some good news.......I just finished re-watching season 1 of Ben 10 (the original from 2005). I felt so good reliving my childhood again it was amazing☺....................let me guess you were expecting investing news right? Everyone soo scared to see the market dip down some more again and I'm over here excited to get started on re-watching season 2 of Ben 10 (2005) lol. You know what just forget what I just said go ahead and scroll down to see the dividend income.

Roth IRA

Total: $105.99

Taxable Account

Total: $25.40

Grand Total: $131.39

Purchase: 4 shares of (AAPL) ($692.18) & 3 shares of (DPZ) ($1,185.24) 

(AAPL) & (DPZ) are new positions in the Taxable Account. I won't be doing a presentation on AAPL because ............well it's Apple it's a "no-brainer" single stock,........at least for me it is. (AAPL was first added last month) So down below I'll give a little presentation on some of the key metrics I go through on EVERY high conviction single stock I look at when I'm doing my own research and pure due diligence.........which is most important. For me, the real definition is tedious due diligence. I ONLY invest in high convictions. I go through about 20 to 25 different metrics, from metrics like "dividend payout ratio" to "shares outstanding dilution/or buybacks" in the last 10 years and everything in between. Scroll down below to see some of my favorite single-stock metrics. 

Dominos Pizza Inc.

In the last 5 years (2017 - 2021) DPZ has raised its annual dividend per share by 104.34%, a little over double the output of the annual dividend payout. With only 8 years of dividend growth history, a 31.85% payout ratio, and a consistent net cash flow growth year over year, Dominos Pizza could easily continue to give out double-digit dividend raises for many years into the future. (DPZ) dividend stats: current yield = 1.2%, 3-year CAGR = 19.35%, 5-year CAGR = 19.42%, when the dividend growth history exceeds 10 years then the CAGR for 10 years will be calculated on Seeking Alpha.com. For those who don't know, C.A.G.R. stands for Compound Annual Growth Rate. 

Total Return Comparison

(10 years)

Just a reminder that (AAPL) is like my personal custom S&P 500 benchmark. I didn't choose Apple to be my custom benchmark the stock earned its place to be in my total return comparison. The S&P 500 will always be included as well, so it's like I have 2 levels of stock market benchmarks. So as you see in the graph above im taking advantage of the market decline of 2022 and dollar-cost averaging into (DPZ) as the stock gets beaten down. As of today (9/5/2022) Year to date the stock has declined by -33.88%. When a long-term high conviction single stock takes a hard decline in price I'm excited to buy more and doing so positions my portfolio to benefit well when the market decides to fully recover back to previous all-time highs. Alright so keep scrolling to see the other metrics.  

Not much to say other than steady growth year over year, so keep scrolling.

U.S growth is slow and steady but I like that (DPZ) is focusing on international growth. 

Consistent quarterly/ yearly earnings growth is very important to me. Especially revenue and net cash flow growth because if they can't consistently grow year over year then they can't consistently afford to give out those double-digit dividend raises. I analyze the increasing gap between net cash flow growth and the rising cost of running the dividend payout. Scroll down some more to see the last metric I have to show.

Revenue and Net Income

(side note: everything is from left to right)

Along with Revenues/Net Income, I also do a deep dive into the balance sheet & cash flow statement. So that are just a few of the metrics I go through before investing in any single stock. Obviously, I'm not going to take a screenshot of all 25 metrics and put you to sleep lol but this will give you an idea of what my research is like behind the scenes. So that's it for this one, I'm going to get started on re-watching season 2 of Ben 10 (2005) and ill see you guys in the next update.

1# Song/Video of the month (Press play)

14 to 16 hour day = Michael Jackson dance move's

(Biggest lesson I learned in 2022: In order to become "very" wealthy you have to be "very" abnormal). Truth is.................im in love ❤️ with a 16-hour day. I enjoy this a billion times more than the 2 weeks of paid vacation I had back in April 2022.

Dividend Update June 2022

 

Happy 4th of July !!! Welcome back to another update, as always I'm being an extremely aggressive buyer during this crash. I'm not holding back, the more people get scared the better. I'm dollar-cost averaging on a rotating basis, which means I'm not buying into just one single stock over and over again. I purchase more shares of stock in sets of 3 (or more) so for example over the last 3 months I have basically been buying (INTU), (MSCI), & (ODFL) in rotation. So it's (INTU), (MSCI) then (ODFL), and then I return back to (INTU) and start the cycle again. Sometimes I would bring (NVDA) into the buying cycle. Then I might go back to (MSFT), (NKE), & (MA) and rearrange the cycle. So I'm spreading out the repeated purchases of the same single stocks. I only explained all this because I don't got much to talk about this month lol. It's just the same thing over and over again. So scroll down below for the dividend income. 

Roth IRA

Total: $114.48

Taxable Account

Total: $19.42

Grand Total: $133.90

Purchases: 9 shares of (O) ($611.24), 3 shares of (INTU) ($1,098.02) & 1 share of (MSCI) ($390.52)

(MAIN) extra payment of $2.08 is a special dividend. I don't get all excited over a special dividend because its an abnormal payment..........don't expect special dividends its just a bonus. When it comes to dividends, my mindset is purely on dividend increases. A dividend raise is a billion times more important than just sitting around fantasizing about a dividend yield. (just keeping it real) So next month................is going to be fun (just a little hint) #FullThrottle. So I'm gonna go back to rewatching old episodes of Ben 10 (2005) (the original series not the new remake crap) and ill see you guys in the next update.  

Dividend Update May 2022

 

Welcome back to another monthly update, nothing special just being an aggressive buyer during this stock market crash. (INTU), (MSCI), & (ODFL) are my main stocks right now. (NVDA) is always on the sidelines, buying a few shares between my main purchases. In about 2 months I'll be adding 3 new low yeild/growth stocks. One of them obvisously being (AAPL) (my personal custom benchmark stock) the other 2 stocks will be revealed when I purchase them. Just a reminder that any new addition to the Taxable Account are high conviction's. They fall into the High Growth/Low Yeild/ Double-Digit Dividend Growth Style. Im taking advantage of the "recession" that everyone is about and dollar cost averaging into the massive discounts of my high conviction single stocks. I would be soo stupid not being an aggressive buyer right now. I'll cut you some slack if your brand new at this. For me I know better and just watch...........im going to surpass $3,000+ in contributions in a month during this stock market crash. It's going to be a real life compilation of "What I wish I did in my 20s". Someone in there 20s doing what people wished they did when they were younger. I also noticed a massive jump in my followers on my Facebook page. Surpassed 700 followers without posting anything for a month.....thats crazy. For some reason people really liked my simple Nvidia quarterly earnings post. People probably like me because I get straight to point not wasting there time or that I always keep it real. Scroll down to see the dividend income below.

Roth IRA

Total: $101.85

Taxable Account

Total: $19.45

Grand Total: $121.30

Purchases: 3 shares of (ODFL) ($833.25), 2 shares of (INTU) ($733.44) & 2 shares of (NVDA) ($330.65)

Another short update as usual................unless you want to hear about the video game playthrough on youtube I'm watching of Kirby and the forgotten land by (twitch streamer) Emiru then I guess we're done here lol. I'm more worried about Kirby then this stock market crash lol anyways that's all for the one. I'll see you in the next update.  

Dividend Update April 2022

 

Welcome to the April 2022 update. The market continues to crash and I've been soo happy to see these prices drop so I can strengthen my dollar cost average across all my high convictions in the taxable account. to be real.........this sh@t is soo easy, I'm pretty much doing the same thing I did during the 2020 crash. This is straight stupid easy, people getting scared = I make money. I actually want the market recovery to be slower than the aggressive V shape recovery in 2020. So I can have a bigger window of buying opportunities. The investing YouTubers have been nothing but sweet entertainment, just a bunch of flip-flop videos like one day they say that "we just hit the bottom" and then the next day stocks drop by 5% to even 15%. Then they have to upload another video explaining themselves and why the market continued to drop. With me have you noticed I've been very quiet on my Facebook page. I can't predict the future, I don't know when the stock market will bottom and enter a massive recovery rally..........I don't know. When the 2020 crash happened I completely focused on consistent dollar-cost averaging across all of my long-term single stock holdings, and because i kept on buying I grew the portfolio by like $35,000 throughout the uptrend of the second half of 2020 & most of 2021. Remember my monthly contributions in 2020 were a lot smaller back then. So this time with much bigger monthly contributions I'm going to continue to do the same thing. The only difference is that I'm dollar-cost averaging into my High Growth/ Low Yield Total Return style (supported by yearly double-digit dividend raises & strong fundamentals). So the results throughout the recovery after all this drama could be a lot different so we'll have to wait and see what happens for the remainder of 2022 and the start of 2023. Scroll down to see the dividend income breakdown.     

Roth IRA

Total: $105.11

Taxable Account

Total: $15.35

Grand Total: $120.46

Dividend raise: (JNJ) 6.6% & (PG) 5%

Purchases: 8 shares of (NKE) ($1,034.06), 2 shares of (MSCI) ($936.66) & 1 share of (ODFL) ($274.70)

Next month ill be buying (INTU) & (NVDA), Nvidia has dropped like 40% from its all-time highs. I would be stupid to not grab some shares of this high conviction. Remember folks I'm looking out at least 10 years with every purchase. (10 years minimum) Like I've said before, I feel like it's 2018 again and I remember people on Facebook and Youtube making fun of Nvidia because it has a 0.06% yield and it fell like 30% - 40% from its all-time highs at the time, but guess what check this out. From December 31st, 2018 to April 13th, 2022 Nvidia is up 430% even after the stock price dropped so much it's still up massively. I could have bought it back in 2018 but I wasn't experienced enough to understand what it was. For me, Nvidia is 100% a growth position, between purchases of my main stocks I may buy 1 to 3 shares at a time to spread out my dollar cost average. It's good to have that one growth stock in the mix that you 100 % understand that's a high conviction. So that's it for this short update, I'm soooooooo happy to be back at work. Sometimes vacations are torture, but I enjoyed it for what it is but now its time to get back into full throttle $$$$............until next time fellas.
