Episode notes

I'm getting to the point where I prefer to invest in ETFs and closing funds instead of individual companies. My personal criteria is no more than 5% of my portfolio and anyone individual company and no more than 15% in any sector of the economy. So if you can get $1,000-2,000 a month for 20 years from now, why not do it? And then maybe when I hear talking also, I feel like it sounds so easy. It just feels simple or what? But how is this for you? Are you able to inspire your environment around you with dividend growth investing? Or are you quickly hitting a barrier that most people are not even interested when you start

This week we are joined by Jeremy Shirey from www.Dividendstockpile.com

In the News of the Week, we discuss how the shareholders of Philips (NYSE: PHG) sent a clear message that they are unhappy with the board. EDGI discusses the recent price drop around castellum (CAST.STO) and Jeremy discusses inflation and the debt ceiling in the US

We also discuss with Jeremy how he started in Dividend growth investing over 10 years ago. How close he and his wife are from retirement and living off dividend income. How he has evolved as an investor over the last 10 years and what forms the foundation of his strategy.

Jeremy also talks us through what a CEF is, how it differs from ETFs, and why he invests in both as well as individual stocks. We take a look at Jeremy's top 10 positions and how he designs his portfolio which is similar to EDGI tier style.

Lastly, we look at some of the lessons Jeremy learned over the years which includes our famous “You can’t borrow conviction” saying.

We answer some questions thanks to the community before Jeremy leaves us with his stock pick of the week. You don't want to miss this as it has a 5% starting yield and a 15% growth rate.
