Do you also focus on the dividend or just the potential growth of share prices when creating your portfolio? Of course, it's best to do both.

So far, it's more just growth, but as my portfolio gets bigger, I'm starting to look at dividends. I still don't have enough to see any dividend result, but of course, you have to start sometime. 😃

As a colleague wrote below, even if he puts it on ice cream in the beginning, that's a good start

If I'm building a portfolio from the ground up, I think it should have a great balance of both. A little bit of that speculative department shouldn't be missing either.

Daniela Duong @danieladuong May 29

That's ideal for me, I just started out focusing mainly on the growth and now I want to balance it more with divi :)

Bill Combs @billcombs May 29

Exactly, the best option is a mix :) I look at the share price trend, of course, but also the dividend, especially for dividend stocks.

Daniela Duong @danieladuong May 29

I have it the same way now :)

Moe Whitehead @investormoe May 29

I'm trying to do both, dividends are nice, with my capital I can get one ice cream out of it every month, but you have to start somewhere.

Daniela Duong @danieladuong May 29

Well, you're just like me, but you have to earn your money for that ice cream. Do you have a goal for how many ice creams you should make?
