0:00 I just bought British American (BTI), a dividend stock yielding almost 10%.
0:15 Putting money in a stock that yields 10% is really exciting. The cash flow is massive.
0:22 I bought a lot of Altria (MO) in late 2023, and that stock has worked really well for me.
1:02 THE FLOW OF DIVIDENDS
1:20 In my OG days, I started mostly with sin stocks.
1:39 Check out the pinned comment for a link to my Patreon.
2:08 There are many different ways to play the dividend stock investing game.
2:29 Right now, I need more cash flow NOW.
2:42 Three-Tier Flow of Money
3:15 9.5% dividend yield and a PE ratio in the 6s.
3:20 STEP 1: Capital To Deploy
3:23 STEP 2: Put the capital in a higher-yielding, annuity-like stock.
4:22 STEP 3: Use the dividends from Step 2 to fund "forever" ("Core") investments like SCHD, JNJ, and SBUX.
5:05 I have a tranche of Treasury Notes maturing. It was earmarked for SCHD, but I think I'll just put it in BTI.
5:30 KEY: Don't worry about what people think, nor how they perceive you as a dividend investor.
6:46 KEY: Step 2 investments are also "forever" companies. I don't sell them. They are just a different type of investment. They have higher risk.
7:38 Pros and Cons - Option 1 is "sleep-well-at-night", but Option 2 carries more risk (with FIRE coming quicker).
