I'm just about at retirement so what I'm doing with my stock investments is to provide an income stream to supplement my retirement without touching the principal. So I'm consolidating/moving IRA's etc into a IRA Brokerage account. Not done yet, and started 6 weeks ago.
But yesterday we got our first dividends.  About $850. We are on pace for about $1000 a month. The point is, following a dividend strategy can provide a very nice supplement to your retirement income without pulling any money out. |
How exactly did you use your dividend strategy. Did you accumulatet money and then every so often invest in a dividend stock of choice? Did you have a number of holdings that you would add to when they got to a certain price? I am curious as to how you added to your holdings? For the most part I have my portfolio of dividend stocks set but I am trying to figure out what to do with the cash when I get it into my portfolio. I have 30+ years until retirement so I want to keep about 90-95% invested.
