Estamos de subidón, ahora el objetivo es 4 Millones en la cartera de su hijo.
" Ten years ago, this portfolio went public with a value of $42000 and was referred to as Project $3 Million. The objective at the time was to invest $500 per month, grow the portfolio value at a CAGR of 8.25% over a 40 year time frame to retirement, and the end result would $3 Million. Hence the name.
I realized at the time, as I do now, that BIG numbers scare people, they can’t relate to them so they ignore the lessons used that help achieve big numbers so I changed the name to the Young Folk Portfolio. That way they could apply the lessons to numbers they can relate to.
I wanted to manage this portfolio the same way we manage our 401K’s except I wanted to use dividend paying stocks as opposed to index or other type of mutual funds. I wanted the dividends at an early age because they generate cash to reinvest. In other words, instead of a company match that we get in a 401K, I wanted a market match from our investments.
Over the past 10 years I have grown the monthly dividend cash flow rate to a point where instead of $500 per month being invested, I now have $1,137 to invest every month between the monthly cash contribution and the dividends being reinvested.
The portfolio value for this portfolio has grown at a CAGR of 19% over the last 10 years and since the objective was 8.25%, the portfolio is well ahead of schedule so I thought I would reevaluate.
This portfolio is $285,000 in value now, has $1,137 per month (and rising) being invested, and only needs an 8% CAGR over the next 30 years until retirement to achieve $4.4 Million. … Hello!
I have been told that a $4-$5 Million portfolio generating $200-$300K per year in dividends was an outlier and not a normal situation for people. However, I am currently showing how a small and normal portfolio grows to an outlier type of portfolio, and I have shown how it is done in real time using real money.
This is being achieved without me even considering valuations, by purchasing higher yielding companies with lower dividend growth numbers, and some have said I don’t have enough growth built in to the portfolio. … In other words, I am using a sub-standard investing style, a less than optimal style, a style that doesn’t maximize growth potential. … YET, being a sub-standard investor, the portfolio is on schedule to reach $4.4 Million at retirement and started out as a small portfolio of just $42000. … I’ll take sub-standard any day if that’s the kind of results that will be achieved, and I’d be willing to bet my critics have portfolios worth less using their superior growth strategies.
There are those who talk … there are those that do.
I am a do’er and those of you who have been following along these years have seen every move made in real time and have actually seen how the portfolio is growing. In a few more years compounding will take over and the portfolio will start to grow exponentially. It takes about 15 years for compounding to show strength and this portfolio is now 10 years in.
I got dibs on $4 Million … git yours!"

"We are told that young people should take more risk and go for growth instead of worrying about dividend flows. Young people are supposed to own more non-dividend paying companies than focusing on dividend payers. Utilities and other higher yielding companies are even down played by dividend growth investors when making recommendations to young people.
I took the opposite approach in the young folk portfolio. I started with utilities and high yielding companies like T not for their high total return potential, but for the amount of dividends they generated to be used to invest elsewhere. The more cash you have to invest, the more you can grow the portfolio.
This portfolio has shown a compounded annual rate of dividend growth of 24%. That dividend growth didn’t just come from companies increasing their dividends but also from the new shares being purchased with dividends received from high yielding companies. Another measure of dividend growth is the result of a higher yield on cost. The higher the yield on cost, the more dividends are created for reinvestment.
This dividend growth will continue regardless of market conditions whereas share price growth has to rely on a bullish market, in a bearish market share prices decline, but as I have shown this year, in a bearish market dividend cash flow continues to rise in spite of several dividend cuts and suspensions.
The larger your investable cash base is earlier in life, the more powerful compounding becomes later in life."
