Despite my
traveling, having limited internet access, and forgetting all about it, on
11/7/19 $50 was sent to M1 Finance for the dividend portfolio. I'll repeat
myself: automate everything you can. It makes life so much easier.
So far $700 has been
sent to M1 since late June 2019. The account's value as of market close on
11/15/19 is $730.52, which includes $3.57 in cash. Investing the same $700 into
Vanguard's VOO ETF would be worth $739.79. The dividend portfolio is once again
lagging its Standard and Poor's 500 benchmark.
Lots of dividends
were received since the last update. See the screenshot below for details.
Below I am including
screenshots of the portfolio's 100 holdings, organized by sector. As a
reminder, most of the holdings were selected by their membership in iShares'
DGRO ETF (dividend growth stocks), filtered by having a dividend yield 2.5% or
higher at the time of selection.
At the time of
portfolio construction, M1 limited accounts to 100 individual holdings. You can
get around this by setting up more than one account, but I didn't do this
because it would add too much complexity to this project. If and when M1 allows
for more than 100 holdings per account, I will likely add additional stocks to
it.
For added
diversification, I also added a few international dividend paying companies.
The selections were not purely random. Rather, I selected them based on having
heard of them. I don't believe in stock research because even if you have all
the information available, the future is not predictable. All research does is
waste one's time. (But what about Warren Buffett? I shall write a post on that
at some point in the near future.)
