I agree, to me frequency is the least important concern with dividend stocks. Most of my best ones only pay out twice a year. It all averages out and I have a couple of really good months each year

The only advantage of a more frequent payout that I can think of is the opportunity to reinvest income a little earlier. However, I’d argue that it would have a relatively negligible effect in the grand scheme of things and that it certainly shouldn’t be at the cost of other, more important factors. That said, I’d be happy to hear arguments to the contrary. Perhaps it’s just FTers wanting to cover the monthly Isa fee?

Also if you want to live off your capital gains, smoothing the payment dates is a good thing to have.

Arguably the best reason to want frequent payments

As someone with a longer term view on investing, my main concerns are with the quality of the business in which I’m invested. With regard to dividends I’m usually looking to understand the security of that dividend and the likelihood of consistent long-term growth of the payouts as I plan to have these contribute to an income in the future.
For those with a passion for dividends, I have a google sheet to do some basic modelling of potential dividend income after 20 years of investing. You can play around with initial yield, growth rate, and annual increases in capital invested. It’s a bit basic but you’re welcome to take a copy and spruce it up.

Wow i wasn’t expecting this much response, I’m not suggesting that all of these should be bought, it was just showing the payment dates mainly. Some of the big dividend aristocrats and kings i do plan to invest in and this is where most of the research came from.

Great video, Excuse my ignorance I’m still learning. One thing I find myself conflicted on is what is the better way to invest, is it worth investing in just one or two shares in multiple stocks and earning pennies in dividends while hoping the stock price is also growing so you are actually profiting or putting all the money you spent on those shares into 1 ETF?
I know an ETF is made up of lots of companies and has risks also but would it not be better for compounding that larger lump sum in a lower risk environment then individual stock picking?
That’s open to everyone would love some advice or opinions.
A video showing how much profit you have made vs if you put a lump sum into a good ETF a year ago would be insightful.
I get if you did not have a lump sum to start with and only added weekly deposits and if that is your preferred way to trade it’s more hypothetical and curiousity on my part.
Keep up the good work!
If you have to ask and I don’t want to come off as rude but ETFs for starters should be your plan. If you perhaps want to get income from ETF’s maybe have some of your % in distributing ETF’s that way you get the capital growth and the income. You can always pivot more into stocks as you go.
On your dividends sentence…that’s exactly what I and other investors who buy div stocks are looking for. Income and capital growth from strong companies. I look for value when purchasing as well.
Also for tax reasons in the coming few years I’m choosing the income stocks/ETF’s and I don’t want to have to pay CGT to realize gains. Receiving tax-free income and the assets will experience capital growth as well, as I won’t be selling. Everyone’s situation is different good luck in what ever you choose

Just a wee quick bit of feedback - no need to robotically read the names of every company you list. We have a space bar to pause the video for that !
But apart from that, really usefull info. Keep up the good work.
