Good morning,

Dividend investing is ultimately about:

  1. Replacing your working income
    ​
  2. With a passive income stream
    ​
  3. For a financially free retirement
    (Or early retirement).

The reality of inflation means that your passive income stream can't just be static.

It must be perpetually growing.

To build perpetually growing – lasting – retirement income, invest in a reasonably diversified basket of income securities that have the following characteristics:

  1. Pay dividends
    (the higher the yield the better)
    ​
  2. Are likely to grow their payments
    (the faster the better)
    ​
  3. Have safe dividends so you are likely to see stable or better income during a recession
    (the safer the dividend, the better)

Dividend investments should be safe, growing income securities. These are the type of securities we look for at Sure Dividend.

On Diversification​
​
The dividend investments you choose should be combined intelligently in your portfolio to reduce exposure to any one security or sector.

The marginal benefits of diversification decline significantly after ~20 holdings.

Additionally, there are disadvantages to being extremely diversified.

When over diversified, you have money in your 50th or 100th or 200th best idea instead of concentrating that money into your current best ideas.

“Diversification is a protection against ignorance. It makes very little sense for those who know what they’re doing.”
​
– Warren Buffett

A portfolio of 20 to 30 high quality income stocks spread out reasonably over different sectors provides a compelling balance between the benefits of diversification and the benefits of concentration.

What will really determine your portfolio's success in building a perpetually growing retirement income stream is the actual securities in which you decide to invest.

And that's where the Sure Dividend High Yield Newsletter shows its value.
