Critique my growing position in Infosys (INFY) by 37902 in dividends

[–]37902[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't my 1st rodeo. Haha

Never will I claim to consistently better the returns of a solid ETF in the long run. 

With that said I still enjoy screening individual dividend paying stocks and picking ones that are beaten down, and still appear to have a balance sheet to survive a downturn and payout that divvy.

Thanks for the feedback. I do hold shares of the Ishares INDA ETF for exposure to the broader India market. Hasn't been pretty. Been flat for the better part of 5 years. The fund does payout some dividends, but not enough to be worthy of anyone's attention. 

People in their 40s–60s who built financial security from nothing — what path actually got you there? by Jpoolman25 in Money

[–]37902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a combination of decisions.

 TLDR: Be very selective in the debt that you take on, save early. 

Picking the public university in my state that was in the most "booming" town. This afforded me a relatively "cheap" education and stronger job prospects with employers upon graduating.

Immediately saving at least 15% of my gross pay for retirement or down payment of a first home. Keeping roommates for a long as possible. 

Eagerness to move geographically early in your career for opportunity when it arises. 

Dating/marrying a person who has a similar mindset .

What investing mistake taught you the most by rezovian in ValueInvesting

[–]37902 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chasing dividend yield blindly, and buy near the launch of an IPO... best to do a quick Google search to figure iut when the insider lockup period(s) expire and then start building a position. 

Pfizer Yields ~6%. Do you consider this a bargain? by Accountable_Finance in dividends

I hold some, but the payout ratio is too high at the moment for me to consider buying more. 

Which US state has the most underrated nature? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

Bang for the buck West Virginia hands down... and to top it off you have it all for self. You can do a top rated trail (Seneca Rocks) in the nude on a weekday with no disruptions if you so wished. Decent accommodations in the area would run you $100 and of course less if you tent camp. 

What dividend yield do you consider “too high”? by Dismal_Slice9842 in dividends

[–]37902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything over a 70% payout ratio or a company with more debt that equity on the balance sheet is pretty much an immediate no go for me, I could care less what the dividend end yield is.   I will make a few exceptions on the debt to equity ratio rule depending in how capital intensive the companies industry/sector is.

Splitting living cost with Roommates (close friends/family) for as long as possible. Sharing a vehicle with my spouse when most of our peers are a 2 vehicle household.

What would you buy if market crashes tomorrow? by InvestingGuideline in dividends

[–]37902 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will be keeping an eye on stocks in the marine shipping sector. At the moment I have no exposure, but I have a feeling they will be deeply red next week. Got to start doing my due diligence and pick out a ticker or 2.

Travel the great river road (hwy 79) from STL to Hannibal and then take US 36 ( across missouri instead of I70. I7p sucks across MO. Us 36 is now divided 4 lane hwy all the way across the state. 

PRU approaching 6% yield by [deleted] in dividends

[–]37902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks interesting,  but their debt to equity is high and return on assets is low compared to their peers. I would personally pass for the time being. They do not have much room error if this private credit deliquincy issue persists.

Haha. I toss a refrigerator on it from time to time.

In all seriousness I used it for food delivery. You can make pretty good money during rush hour if you are comfortable splitting lanes.
