I'm excited to share 9 dividend stocks that I own, that I almost sold, (but I decided to keep). Many of these smaller dividend stock positions are true gems in my portfolio, in my humble opinion. Others are ones that I'd probably sell if I ever needed capital.

0:00 Introduction
0:44 I considered selling all 9 of these positions recently, because they are smaller positions in my portfolio.
2:14 SEGMENT 1: 9 DIVIDEND STOCKS I OWN THAT I CONSIDERED SELLING
2:33 Check out the pinned comment for a link to my Patreon.
3:06 These 9 stocks comprise 6.10% of my portfolio's value, and 5.50% of dividend income.
3:30 SEGMENT 2: BREAKDOWN OF THE 9 STOCKS
3:34 DIVIDEND STOCK 1: Caterpillar (CAT) 1.2% of my portfolio
4:36 Forward PE is in 13s
4:56 Starting dividend yield 2.11%
5:23 CAT's fundamentals (and share appreciation) have vastly outperformed my expectations.
6:16 DIVIDEND STOCK 2: Walmart (WMT) 1.1% of my portfolio
6:37 5Year Dividend CAGR only 1.9%
7:33 There is a tax impact to selling. And, I like to balance gains and losses.
8:05 Emotional investing It's one of my first positions owned
9:17 DIVIDEND STOCK 3: BP (BP) 1.0% of my portfolio
10:18 Forward PE of 6
10:23 Huge 4.9% dividend yield
10:45 I see the energy sector as a hedge, as a form of diversification
11:44 DIVIDEND STOCK 4: IBM (IBM) 0.9% of my portfolio
12:26 4.97% dividend yield
12:30 Technology exposure
13:13 If I ever had to raise capital again, IBM would be at the top of my sell list.
13:51 DIVIDEND STOCK 5: Utz Brands, Inc. (UTZ) 0.50% of my portfolio
14:15 I considered all of my small stocks, because they take up mindshare.
14:35 I don't mind having overexposure to snack foods, because it's a great category that I understand.
15:07 Forward PE of 30, due to quick growth
15:15 2year dividend CAGR of 6.8%
15:40 Small cap, highgrowth stock
16:18 DIVIDEND STOCK 6: Carrier (CARR) 0.50% of my portfolio
16:25 CARR is one of my highperformers, of course I could not sell.
16:32 3Year Dividend CAGR of 32.2%
17:16 United Technologies used to be one of my favorite positions. I'm holding the spinoffs and managing it all as 1.
18:08 Carrier is way off the list, no way I would sell.
18:18 DIVIDEND STOCK 7: Otis (OTIS) 0.4% of my portfolio
18:27 The 3Year Dividend CAGR is 19.3%
18:40 In general, I will not sell a huge winner. (Although, there was 1 exception, Apple.)
19:28 DIVIDEND STOCK 8: Bank of Hawaii (BOH) 0.3% of my portfolio
19:49 Regional banks are under a lot of pressure
20:00 Forward PE of 9
20:05 Dividend yield of 6.7%
21:11 If I had to sell something, maybe BOH would be on the list in the future.
22:35 DIVIDEND STOCK 9: Hasbro (HAS) 0.2% of my portfolio
22:49 Lackluster business performance the last few years
23:16 Forward PE of 14.53 with 4.33% dividend yield
24:04 If I had to make a deeper cut, I would probably sell HAS.
