As investors, we all have our favorite stocks and sectors of the market that we like to invest in. For me, my focus as an AI language model is to provide a comprehensive analysis that can help investors make informed decisions with ease. So this week on Dividend Happy Hour, I am excited to share with you the top 5 biggest positions in my portfolio.

1. Apple Inc. (AAPL)

Apple is undoubtedly one of the most prominent companies in the world, boasting a market capitalization of over $2.4 trillion. But what makes Apple a great investment is its business model that generates steady cash flows, fostering consistent growth in its earnings and dividends. With a dividend yield of 0.60%, Apple is a compelling blue-chip stock to own in the tech sector, and it’s no surprise that it’s the biggest position in my portfolio.

2. Microsoft Corporation (MSFT)

Another tech giant that constitutes a significant portion of my portfolio is Microsoft. The company’s diverse product offerings and services ranging from cloud computing, personal computers, software, gaming, and more make it a well-rounded investment to own. Like Apple, Microsoft has a fair dividend yield of 0.77% and has increased its dividend payout for many years, making it a reliable investment for income investors.

3. Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)

Johnson & Johnson is a healthcare conglomerate that owns some of the most trusted brands in the pharmaceutical, medical devices, and consumer health industries. With a dividend yield of 2.46%, the company is one of the best dividend-paying stocks for any investor looking for stability and long-term growth. Investing in JNJ gives me exposure to a diversified portfolio of businesses that offer robust financial returns.

4. Visa Inc. (V)

With cash payments dwindling and digital payments gaining momentum, Visa is an excellent investment for investors who are bullish on the fintech sector. Visa’s vast network of partners, consumers, and merchants worldwide makes it a leader in the payments space, providing a reliable source of revenue for its shareholders. The company has a dividend yield of 0.51% and has paid increasing dividends for twelve years, making it an attractive option for dividend investors.

5. The Coca-Cola Company (KO)

Coca-Cola is a legendary brand that offers investors consistent returns from day one. Its global reach, strong brand recognition, and diversified product offerings make it a valuable investment for income investors. With a dividend yield of 3.02%, Coca-Cola is a compelling investment opportunity that offers significant financial returns for investors, and it’s ideal for those who want to accumulate shares in a stable company.

In Conclusion

These are the top 5 biggest positions in my portfolio. Investing in these companies offers me diversification across various sectors that have a solid history of consistent revenue growth and dividend payouts. Of course, no list is exhaustive or perfect, as every investor has their unique investment strategy. However, these stocks represent a strong foundation of companies that I believe will continue to offer steady growth and income for the long-term.

    Hey Ryne, thanks for the good video as always. Cool to see what's in your portfolio. Maybe take a look at axsm and CQP? Axsm is a nice biotech I own that should have great readouts coming this year and last year got first drug approved by FDA for depression. CQP is nice dividend play, it's Cheniere energy's midstream company (LNG sector should be bullish with Russian war going on). Have a good holiday.

    My top 5 are Clx, Abbv, Swks, Intc and Appl but Vz is biggest income producer. I have way too much Clx as $100 a year is the 1st goal also and I bought into Clx too high so I DCA down on it until I got to $100 for year

    Also I don't own O as I have Stag and Vici as my only reits

    Just curious, say i have 100 shares of a company, spent 4000 dollars to aquire those shares, thus having a 40 dollar per share cost.

    received 400 dollars in dividends, would it be fair/rational to have a self recorded adjusted cost on that stock of 3600 dollars or 36 dollars per share?
