This is the audio from a YouTube video: Discover 6 undervalued dividend stocks with exceptional returns on capital between 24% and 34%. As Charlie Munger explained, it's hard for a stock to outperform the underlying business, so why not invest in companies that are crushing it with their capital efficiency? In this video, I'll break down Ross Stores, Donaldson Company, Zoetis, Alphabet, MSCI, and A.O. Smith using Simply Safe Dividends data. Three of these are Dividend Aristocrats with decades of proven dividend growth, while others offer exciting growth potential. From off-price retail to animal health to tech giants, these quality companies span multiple sectors while maintaining strong dividend policies and low payout ratios. Perfect for dividend investors seeking both income and long-term growth potential. Remember, past performance doesn't predict the future, but these businesses know how to generate serious returns on shareholder capital. ... You can find the video HERE.

June was a big month for our portfolio! We collected $879 in RECORD dividend income, but I also made some tough decisions, including selling Nexstar Media (NXST) shares after years of going nowhere. Sometimes, even good companies with great dividends just aren't working in your portfolio. I replaced it with Zoetis (ZTS) and kept building our core positions. In this update, I'll show you every dividend payment, explain my buy/sell decisions, and break down why we had a -$485 PADI month (it's actually good portfolio management, not poor performance). Whether you're learning about dividend investing or want to see real portfolio moves in action, this gives a full breakdown of how I manage our money with my 85% funds, 15% stocks strategy.Motley Fool 92% post: https://www.fool.com/investing/2025/03/05/want-to-outperform-nearly-92-of-professional-fund/

Dividend investing isn't just about buying and forgetting. In this video, I share 5 key things I do AFTER I buy a dividend stock. After starting my investing journey back in 2003 with index funds and then diving into penny stocks and swing trading in 2018, I've learned a lot along the way. Today, roughly 85% of our net worth is headed toward index funds, but I still enjoy building a smaller dividend stock portfolio with about 15% of our money.
I explain why I listen to earnings calls, monitor payout ratios, reinvest dividends strategically, and ensure I maintain my own conviction before buying any individual stock. I’m not a financial professional, just a welder sharing what’s worked for me and what I continue to learn.

The new OMAH ETF claims to let you invest like Warren Buffett while earning 15% yearly income paid monthly. Sounds perfect, right? But there's something critical most investors are missing about how this fund actually works - and it directly goes against Buffett's most important investing principle. I break down the truth about OMAH's 95% "return of capital" distributions and explain what's really happening to your money over time. Listen to this before buying the OMAH ETF.
