My long term dividend growth roth IRA I dollar cost average 200$ a week into. (the 1% positions are holdings I've simply not sold out of yet)

Goals: Reach a target yield of 4-5% with moderate capital appreciation.

Risk tolerance- Real high

The positions are weighted into two categories, with 3-5% positions in stocks i'm confident in and like holding in larger positions, and 1.5-2.25% positions in companies I may not understand as well, but which have decent dividend track records and safety scores through the service "simply safe dividends".

I like the 3-3.5% starting yield for creating a dividend stock portfolio, as you usually end up taking on far less risks and holding positions that feel way more comfy.
