Intro |
Every Friday, I share what I’m buying — real moves, no fluff. The plan is simple: mix high yield with dividend growth to build income that grows year after year. My goal is $12,000/month in ~10 years. This journey is open to anyone — it’s about creating a legacy, taking care of loved ones, and leaving behind a stream of income that outlives you. Over time, I’ve simplified my process and now rely on one tool above all others: the MaxDividends Research Platform. It helps me find quality dividend stocks, track dividend growth, and stay focused on long-term income investing. |

Hi partners — Max here! |
This week I honestly didn't pay much attention to the market and barely even looked at my portfolio. We've been working hard to launch the Buy/Hold/Sell system inside the MaxDividends Research Platform, and this week we successfully rolled out the pilot version for our Premium members. So that's where most of my focus has been. |
That said, I still found time to add a few more stocks to my portfolio. As always, I stuck with dividend growth companies — businesses with high Business Quality Scores and strong Dividend Safety Scores. |
And yes, my dividend income keeps growing. |
This week I hit another all-time high: $1,127 per month in projected dividend income — $6 more per month than last week. |
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I took mine 24 months ago. |
Oh, and next week marks the beginning of July, which means it's time to reinvest my June dividend income. Another $1,554 will be added to my regular weekly investments, and at this point, that's becoming a meaningful amount. The passive income snowball just keeps getting bigger. |
Below, you'll find a detailed breakdown of what I bought this week, how the portfolio is positioned today, and what I'm planning for next week and beyond. |
My portfolio is a fully transparent, real-time journey — no polishing the numbers and no adjusting results after the fact. |
It’s a path anyone can follow with the right system, such as the MaxDividends Income System, and the MaxDividends Platform. |
Alright — let’s get to today’s buys. So grab a coffee — let’s dig in ☕💪 |

💵 The Dividend Flywheel |
My dividend income is now running at about $1,127 per month. It’s not a headline number. It won’t trend on social media. But it does matter. |
Because this is what real progress looks like when income is built the right way. Quiet. Measurable. The income base keeps rising. |
Every reinvested dollar tightens the structure. Every dividend hike raises the floor. And over time, that turns into momentum you can actually feel. |
Portfolio Snapshot |
Total Invested (cash I personally added): ~$364,802 Current Market Value: ~$384,202 Annual Dividends: ~$13,528 (+$76 vs. last week) Dividend Yield on Cost: ~3.70%
|
The snowball keeps rolling — heavier every week. |

So, I added more shares to a few existing positions. I've owned these companies for quite a while now, and as long as I like the current prices, I'll keep adding to them. At the same time, I'm making sure each position stays roughly in line with the average allocation across the rest of the portfolio. |
I think over the next couple of weeks I'll be back on the hunt for new names. It'll also give me a chance to take a fresh look at the market and see what other dividend opportunities are available right now. |
Next week should be a fun one because I'll be reinvesting my June dividends. That's another $1,500+ going to work on top of my regular weekly investments. |
💬 Inside the Premium Community “This week, our discussion went well beyond the stocks I actually bought. Inside the Premium community, we looked at several other dividend companies that came very close to making the cut. Some offered higher yields, others stronger dividend growth, while one stood out as an especially attractive value opportunity after a recent pullback. I shared why I ultimately passed on each of them, what would change my mind, and the price levels where I’d become a buyer. Sometimes knowing why I didn’t buy is just as valuable as knowing what I did buy.” — Max
