Anyone owning these?
Wondering if i'm missing any red flags aside from Oxy's debt situation.
Holding these offer dividend payouts spread over every month of the year. Thoughts???

F - 6.3%
OXY - 8.1%
CNP - 4.3%
TAP - 4.2%
MO - 6.6%
KO - 2.9%
XOM - 5.0%
T - 5.3%
PFE - 3.9%
ABBV - 5.3%

CIM is another that you should look at. I’ve owned this one for many years. DRIP is free so it automatically buys the shares with my dividends I earn. They also offer a special dividend every so often. This one has not let me down yet.

Love CIM. Almost wish it would drop back to around $18.75 to get more “free” shares!

I am just starting to try to get into dividend stocks to diversify myself and do something more active. I’m sure I’ll make some mistakes learning when to invest and when to bail on these things.

Any tips and advice for an intro to dividend stocks?

Right now I have shares of:
SCHK
VTI
VXUS
BND
BNDX
VOO
QQQ

Following this, I'd like to get into dividend stocks, but I am pretty illiterate when it comes to the stock market. Any good guides for getting someone into it?

I've got about $1000/month to invest. What can I realistically expect to receive in income?

Pick a stock that pays a comfortable yield but isn't over-reaching with it's ability to continuously pay that dividend.

Let's compare two:

Coca-Cola (KO) $55.00
Dividend yield is 2.97% or $1.60/share annually.
Payout ratio is 75.99% - kinda high but it has steadily increased its dividend for 56 years!

Occidental Petroleum (OXY) $39.01
Dividend yield is 8.25% or $3.16/share annually
payout ratio is 165%!!! - that means that 165% of the profits are currently being used to fund the dividend payments. OXY is using debt currently to pay dividends but has been increasing dividends for 16 years.

Does that mean that OXY is a bad buy b/c the dividend might get cut? Not necessarily. Keep tabs on the riskier yields and look at their financials

Just commit to a long term investment with them. $1,000/Month could yield you a cool $500+ in dividends at the end of 1 year. Re-invest them all to gain more shares and compound it.

Look into the S&P Dividend Aristocrats for some safer plays

No interest in individual companies? Do you prefer ETFs?

I went with ETFs for my intro to investing the last two years. I’m happy with where I’m at, but ready to explore more options.

I have no problem with individual companies, it’s just not where I started.

Gotcha.
Well, it's fun. I start reading into too much now on the solo companies

I read this forum and Stocktwits and reddit and I bought and read “The Intelligent Investor” and “The Little Book that Beats the Market”. So I just played it safe with my intro investments.

I know myself well enough to know that I have a bad spending habit and an addiction problem to new hobbies. It took a lot of self control to not try and do something stupid like time the market and pretend to be a day trader and pick a bunch of risky stocks and inevitably lose all my intro investments lol.

So I invested wisely and conservatively. I’m now ready to dip my toe into something other than safe ETFs.
