Good dividend stock to throw 500 bucks at
Posted on 5/22/17 at 2:00 pm

I want to expand my portfolio from just 401k and IRA. I have 500 dollars I'd like to invest to start in dividend stock.
Any recommendations to get my feet wet?

GE and coke pay quarterly, but you are looking at 10 shares for coke
I'll let others answer and learn too

Are you wanting a single stock or are you open to something like Vanguard's high dividend yield ETF or dividend appreciation ETF?

I honestly just want to get into the game.
I can invest roughly 300-400 a month into this portfolio.
Edit: Im only 31 so I can assume high risk.
Vanguard's high dividend yield ETF (This intrigues me)

10 shares is better than zero

I have been reading through the dividend thread and decided that I want to do the whole e-trade and buy drips through them. Coke is definitely one I want to buy. I am now deciding on others.

I bought SDY today.

Be careful buying dividend stocks in a rising interest rate environment... people will start to flee to bonds when they are paying the same yield, so the stocks go down in market cap to compensate.

Thanks for the heads up. I did read about that as well. You finance/stock guys can be engineers lol

This, or a total return mutual fund or ETF that's slanted more toward growth. At 31, IMO, the growth component should outweigh the income component. Some of the popular dividend stocks have been flat for quite awhile.

Vanguard Target Fund that is appropriate for your age - start plowing money into it and don't touch it.
It will be tempting but don't touch it until you are ready to retire - if you start with 500 now and save a few hundred a month for the next few decades, you will be set for post employment.

What percentage should be the minimum one puts away in a 401k?
Posted on 5/22/17 at 10:49 pm to Paul Allen
Company match at absolute minimum
But I'd say 10% is gonna be better than most people contribute

Whatever to get the max match - no more, no less ......
....Unless you make enough to get into a non qualified supplemental plan through your employer

Yes, get the match. And invest otherwise for a total of 15%.
So, if the company puts up 6% (USA average), and you put up 6%, that's 12. Now you still need to invest 3% more.
