The other day, I stumbled upon a real gem going through Warren Buffett’s 1991 letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. In it, Warren makes an important distinction between two types of businesses: the first, which he calls an “economic franchise,” and the second, which is just a regular business.
The other day, my friend Jakob reached out to me with a great question, asking how I was able to choose the slow, steady process of dividend investing instead of a more exciting approach like day trading, options, or something more along those lines. And I think this gets to the heart of one of the hardest parts of investing: being patient.
Right now, we’re knee-deep in the middle of earnings season. As I’m sure you can imagine, depending on the results, share prices can either soar or sink in a big way. That brings me to L’Oréal (LRLCY), my top dividend stock to buy in November, which also took a hit after its recent earnings report.
When you buy a new stock, the best-case scenario is never having to sell it, allowing you to sit back and rake in that dividend income for as long as you live. Now, while the idea of holding a stock forever is fun to think about, reality usually has other plans for your portfolio.
When it comes to the stock market, small events can cause massive changes over time.
I'm usually an open book when it comes to my dividend portfolio—or at least I try to be. But I have to admit, I’ve been keeping a little secret from you over the past few weeks: I added a new dividend stock to my portfolio!
We dividend investors are always on the hunt for deals and discounts, but lately, it seems like good buying opportunities are pretty few and far between. With that said, all you need is one good find, and one of those is Robert Half Inc. (RHI), which is my top dividend stock to buy in October.
I’ve been keeping something big from all of you (not investing-related, more so life-related). It hasn’t been easy staying quiet, but I wanted to make sure everything was official before saying a word.
The more you spend, the more you have to earn just to maintain that standard, and before you know it, the stuff you own starts controlling you instead of the other way around. This leaves you in a position where you're more dependent on the income from your job when you should be working toward the opposite.
I tend to categorize dividend stocks into different groups, and have come up with four of them based on their general yield and dividend growth rates. In my portfolio, I try to strike a balance between these four groups.
People often underestimate just how deeply fossil fuels are embedded in our daily lives, and I think the transition to a greater reliance on renewable energy is going to take decades, not just a few years. This creates a strong tailwind for companies in the energy sector like Chevron (CVX), which is my top dividend stock to buy in September.

ABOUT ME
Passionate Dividend Investor | Experienced Margarita Enthusiast
HEY, I’M RYNE.
When I first dipped my toe into the investing world, I had zero experience and no financial background. I was an absolute beginner.
What started as a random curiosity quickly became an addictive hobby. I soon realized that dividend investing is not only a powerful tool for building long-term wealth, but it also teaches valuable lessons in patience, discipline, and financial responsibility—skills that anyone can benefit from.
One of the biggest misconceptions about investing is that it’s reserved for financial experts or the already wealthy. I am neither (although we’re working on it).
With an infinite amount of information online, the barriers to entry have all but disappeared. Building wealth is not an exclusive privilege. It is an empowering endeavor available to all.
Through my cocktail of content consisting of YouTube videos, articles, and my weekly newsletter, I’m sharing my investment journey every step of the way. I hope to inspire others to not only get started but to stay the course.
If I can do this, then so can you.
