You want to invest in dividend-paying stocks for cash flow and passive income. You want to build a dividend stock portfolio, one that features a growing stream of passive income over time. However, you don't know how to analyze stocks to determine if they are a good fit for your portfolio. Today's video features my personal strategy on how I analyze stocks.
While I originally wanted to film a long, multi-hour video on dividend stock analysis, I figured it would be more practical for me (and you) to film several shorter videos. Today's video is the first in this series, a long-time subscriber request!
The first step of analyzing a dividend stock is actually determining if it belongs on your watch list at all. Today's video covers the basics, my first seven filters:
1) Have I heard of the company? Do I use their goods and/or services? Do I have extensive experience with the company, and believe in their bright future?
2) What is the company's market capitalization? Does it fit into my sweet spot?
3) What is the current dividend yield? Does it match my strategy?
4) What is the dividend payout ratio? Is it sustainable?
5) What is the current price per share? Is the stock selling at a 52-week high, or is it "on sale"?
6) What is the PE ratio? Does it fall into my desired range?
7) What is the dividend history? Has the company increased dividends over time? If so, what is the annual rate of increase? Does it fall into my desired range?
I recently added to my Kimberly-Clark (KMB) position. In today's video, I go through my stock analysis filters with KMB as the example.
As a related video, here's how I personally source new stocks for my portfolio:

About the Site π
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. π₯
Origins of the Idea π±
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. π§
Challenges Faced π€
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. π
Creating Truly Random Links π οΈ
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube πΊ
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. π
Content and Users π΅
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact π€
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. π
