0:47 SEGMENT 1: RISK FACTORS IMPACTING DIVIDEND STOCK INVESTORS IN 2023

5:10 If JNJ tanks, I could lose 4.75% of my portfolio quickly.
5:27 If PEP tanks, I could lose 4.5% of my portfolio quickly.
6:24 If MCD tanks, I could lose 4% of my portfolio quickly.
7:11 SEGMENT 3: WHAT I'M DOING TO LESSEN INDIVIDUAL COMPANY RISK IN MY DIVIDEND PORTFOLIO
8:02 I'm investing in SCHD!
8:42 Largest position AMGN represents about 4.5% of SCHD. So, there's concentration of risk there as well!
9:14 It takes a lot to influence me to place money anywhere but SCHD (until SCHD represents 2030% of my portfolio).
9:41 Treasury Bonds also dampen portfolio volatility.
9:56 I also rely on broadbased diversification.

12:51 S&P downgraded HE to junk status.
13:04 63% down from 52week high.
13:22 Dividend yield is 8.9%, but the dividend may be cut or suspended.
14:00 Is the company just being valued for their bank at this time? Is the utility worthless, or even a liability?
14:25 LESSON: Regulated Electric Utilities have historically been widow and orphan stocks. I don't believe that's the case anymore.
15:12 This company has been in business since the late 1800s.
15:25 This stock comprised 2.86% of my portfolio, and now it’s down to about 1.3%.
