T:US; VZ 4%; Energy12

— T:US

Scenario — Suppose I progressively invest 6k. Dividend is currently $360/Y. Downturn … my 6k becomes 3k :(… I will hold and keep earning dividend, perhaps a paltry $120/Y… tolerable.

How to add up div received

  • copy from rbh div page and paste to tmp.txt
  • grep ‘+’ tmp.txt and copy paste into excel

— Hows does VZ compare?

  • 🙂 higher reputation, similar market cap
  • A hedge against missteps by T:US. Intra-sector diversification is generally good. I would do the same in tobacco, oil, utility sectors.

— as compared to Energy12

  • 🙂 liquidity. Flexibility of selling to meet my cash crunch
  • 🙂 quantum flexibility
  • 🙂 full transparency, without legality concerns
  • 🙁 dividend amount is not contractually guaranteed as in Energy12
  • 🙁 no bargain
  • 🙁 lower probability of windfall appreciation
  • 🙁 higher probability of depreciation like falling from $30 gradually to $2

 

VTI: buyEntireUsaMkt

  • 🙂 0.03% expRatio about 1/3 of SPY’s
  • https://investor.vanguard.com/etf/profile/vti
  • big quantum. need fractional
  • 1.34% CDY, comparable to SPY
  • 3640 stocks. VTI holds no Amex and OTC* stocks.
  • tech sector is 27% of the target index. top 10 holdings are mostly tech stocks
  • About 90% of VTI is concentrated in the SP500. The remaining allocation is mid/small caps. Therefore more growth, more volatility than SPY

To my surprise, VTI can outperforms SPY slightly

SeekingAlpha says compared to SPY, VTI is more suited to buy-n-hold long-term investors

PBCT: steady-div regional bank #PUB

  • up to $100
  • analysts? neutral no Sell.
  • 🙂 the only bank on the exclusive Dividends Aristocrats list, having increased its regular dividend every year for the past 26 years. While many of its regional peers and essentially all of the biggest banks have been forced to reduce their payouts in prior economic downturns, People’s United was able to ride out the bad times and still raise its dividend. See https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/market-sectors/financials/bank-stocks/do-bank-stocks-pay-dividends/
  • 🙂 div increased through 2020 .. https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/pbct/dividend-history
  • 🙂 small unit price. Easier to experiment
  • 🙂 known brand. $6B mkt cap

XOM DYOC imt T:US

https://www.streetinsider.com/dividend_history.php?q=xom shows stable dividend payout for decades.

Someone said XOM has increased its payout for more than 30 consecutive years.

https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/11/11/how-safe-is-exxonmobil-and-its-dividend/ is about XOM dividend safety during pandemic. XOM seems to be resilient, earning my “A” rating as a div stock
