did you guys sell off everything you had in your portfolio or did you survive the
wild stock market this week welcome back to the channel guys my name is Bruce
Wayne today we have another Robin Hood investment challenge for you every
single week I deposit $100 into my portfolio and I try to grow my portfolio
as big as I can through trading selling buying and most likely collecting
dividends I'm a dividend investor so let's jump right into the portfolio and
see if I've survived this week's onslaught of read days so today is
Friday and the markets just closed and I think that I did survive this week I'm
up over 50 dollars on the day my portfolio is worth four thousand three
hundred forty nine dollars on the week I'm not doing so good I'm down $30 on
the one month chart I'm down $41 which is about almost 1 percent of my
portfolio on the three months chart I'm still doing all right 500 up 14 percent
on the one year chart I'm up seven hundred which is almost twenty percent
and on the all-time here I'm up 6.2% I did a lot of day trading back in the
days and I lost a lot of money back then and I took a really long break that's
why this line is just flatlined and I just recently started this robbing a
challenge in September and my portfolio has been going up to the right so I'm
really happy for that and I think I got in at a pretty good time earlier this
week it was quite depressing opening my portfolio and just having a look inside
everything was looking so bad this week but I stayed strong didn't sell anything
and I just held on to everything and just kept collecting dividends and
actually I kept buying more stocks a G and C is one of my main investments in
my portfolio I have a total equity of almost $2,000 so if you take a look here
I have finally reached 100 shares of agency this was my goal months and
months ago I think I started in January so it took me almost four four months to
acquire all this and look at look at how crazy this week was for agency the highs
for agency this week were $17 64 and the lows we can see it's almost at
17 dollars and 35 cents and I actually bought on this little dip right here
that we had I bought almost 10 shares at that time on the day I'm up almost $20
so this one stock saved me on the day but in total returns I'm still down $23
that's because earlier this week agency paid a dividend of like $12 for me so
whenever this stock pays out their dividend it's reflected in their stock
price let's take a look at my recent history for a GNC so today and yesterday
I was buying shares on the dip I bought 10 shares I bought 5 shares today and I
bought 5 shares yesterday to complete my 100 shares gold so on May 9th I got paid
a dividend of $12.60 for holding 70 shares of this stock and when I'm
recalculating the dividends for a GNC the next time they pay me out I'll be
collecting about $18 in dividends and that is a decent amount for only
investing you know less than $2,000 in this company
I'll be keeping it for as long as I can I'm not planning to sell unless
something crazy happens to the stock and with all the dividends I'll be
reinvesting in I'll be reinvesting it into other companies the next company
that I'm planning to reinvest all my money into for the next few months is
gonna be AT&T right now AT&T is $30 and 64 cents it's not doing too good this
week as well this week has been like a pretty pretty flat only up half a
percentage and on the month you can see that it's down almost 4% so my total
equity at the moment I have 25 shares and my 12 equity is $766 so my goal for
AT&T is to get to about 35 shares and I want to get my equity over $1,000 and
after I get over $1,000 equity in AT&T I'll move on to my next stock and that's
my plan for all of these stocks that you're
seeing on the screen I'm gonna get my equity into all of them at least up to
$1,000 and then after that I'll decide what I want to do next for my goals my
overall goal with my portfolio to get to 10
by the end of the year and being and being consistent with that $100 every
single week I'll be able to reach that goal it like is it might be a bit tough
about $10,000 by the end of the year is pretty obtainable with this portfolio I
don't do much work when it comes to this portfolio all I do is just buy blue chip
stocks that pay dividends a lot of blue chip stocks don't play pay dividends and
a lot of them do so you have to decide which one is right for you and I invest
100 dollars every week into them and with all the dividends that those stocks
pay out I reinvest and the cycle just keeps continuing and all the effects of
that reinvesting compounds and I'll be able to reinvest more and more whenever
the dividend payout comes out it's very simple strategy and I like to keep and I
want to keep this portfolio as simple as possible and every now and then I would
love it if you hit that like button if you're enjoying the video and I can get
to my next point so every now and then I always like to joke around and I always
like to you know do something fun with my portfolio I always like to buy
something that's a bit more speculative when it comes to buying dividend stocks
I think that is what investing is I want my money to work for me so whatever I
put my money into something I want that asset to pay dividends because I want my
money to work for me but when I am investing in a growth stock that there
is a lot of upside to that but I think investing your money into growth stocks
is more speculative because because you don't really know if that stock is gonna
go up in price that stock is not gonna pay you out any dividends growth stocks
typically don't pay any dividends at all so when it comes to the future of this
portfolio I want I want this portfolio to produce a lot of passive income for
me in dividends I want it to pay like thousands tens of thousands of dollars
in passive income every single year it's gonna take me a long time to get there
but I'm pretty impressed that my growth rate at the moment I only started this
in September like I showed you earlier whenever I have any extra income on
plants you just throw that into this portfolio I want my money to work for me
as fast as possible I want my Emma and I want my portfolio
to grow as fast as possible as well on the flip side
I'm also investing into m1 finance this account is also growing quite fast I
only had this portfolio for about a month or so now and have 500 dollars in
my account this portfolio is a lot easier for me to keep track of
I just set it up one time how I wanted all my money to be invested and it was
really quick to set up you guys can check out some of these older videos
here where I set up my m1 Finance account if you guys are strictly
dividend investors and not too much of a trader jump on to m1 finance and start
investing there by this time next month if I'm lucky this account will be at
least $1,000 or more that's another milestone when it comes
to m1 finance I'll have my portfolio at $1,000 since you guys are still here and
made it almost to the end of the video I'm gonna give you another sneak peek
into my Vanguard account it's been a while since I did an update on this
account this is my Roth IRA I invest about $500 a month into my Roth IRA Roth
IRA is I'm saving up on my retirement and it is a tax advantage account if you
guys are all about retiring early investing in a Roth IRA might be a
better option for you guys I'm gonna be maxing out my Roth IRA by the end of the
year I deposit about five hundred dollars into my account every single
month I invest strictly into index funds very simple I used the lazy man's
portfolio and total asset so far seven thousand five hundred I've been
investing with Vanguard a lot longer than I have with Robin Hood
I started this like way way long ago like about four or five years ago and
I've just only recently upped my investments into this account
you know I'm 33% of the way there when it comes to the IRA max as you can see
the IRA max is six thousand dollars and I'm 33% of the way there I can only
contribute four thousand dollars more to max out this Roth IRA but I did set a
automatic schedule to invest five hundred dollars into this account and
that's all it takes for my investments I try not to do anything too complicated I
already have enough complications in my life when it comes to real estate so
when it comes to the stock market I just want to be invested
and I'm doing a decent job if you ask for my own opinion I'm over $10,000
invested into stocks at the moment if you add everything up I'm over $10,000
invested and when it comes to cryptocurrency I'm also over $10,000
invested so so when it comes to investing for beginners and investing in
general you know I know I might seem like a genius but but it took me a long
time to get here and I made a lot of mistakes on the way and I feel like at
the moment right now I'm almost like a financial vlogger where I find I
document my journey of you know investing which is kind of crazy I don't
think there's anything like out there for all you guys that are just beginning
don't rush into it and don't throw all your money into the markets all at same
time just slowly start investing and slowly learning as you go and you guys
will be able to at least reach my level which took me by just like two or three
years to get check out these videos here on how I started and you can tell that
I've come a long way since that time and don't forget to Like and subscribe to
the channel I come up with three videos every single week so stay tuned for
