Stock Market Could Collapse (Dividend Portfolio Risk Management)

The stock market is tanking, but it's really good to be a dividend stock investor. I'm buying cheap dividend stocks, and I'm also thinking about ways to de-risk my portfolio. Today's video shares some really low risk I Bond and EE Bond investments that I’m buying to lower overall portfolio volatility. I Bonds are expected to yield 9.62% starting in May.

0:00 Introduction - Our market is tanking right now, so I'm starting a new video series on strategies to lower volatility in a dividend stock portfolio.
0:13 I don't know if I'm timing the market perfectly, but I like purchasing dividend stocks when the market is tanking.
0:33 It's very difficult to fight the Federal Reserve (they are increasing interest rates, which affects the market).
1:07 My number 1 strategy is focusing on the highest-quality dividend-paying stocks, with a primary focus on the income they generate (for me).
1:34 Apple (AAPL) just increased their dividend by 4.5%.
2:30 In today's video, I will discuss I Bonds and EE Bonds.
4:16 SEGMENT 1: CHECK OUT MY PATREON
5:15 SEGMENT 2: THOUGHTS ON I BONDS AND EE BONDS
6:29 I do not believe "bonds are dead". I think certain types of bonds could have a place in one's portfolio. Buying bonds, holding through maturity, and collecting interest may still have a place in buffering volatility.
8:40: SEGMENT 3: I BONDS ARE DESIGNED TO PROTECT SAVINGS AGAINST INFLATION
9:10 The I Bonds issued starting Monday, May 2 are expected to yield 9.62%.
10:35 Investors don't need high risk investments to receive a 9.62% interest rate! Now, it's possible with a government-backed bond.
11:28 I Bond Purchase Limits
12:19 I Bonds could even have a place in one’s long-term business reserves.
13:33 SEGMENT 4: EE BONDS ARE DESIGNED TO DOUBLE AFTER 20 YEARS
15:07 It returns 3.53% per year.
15:36 3.53% may not sound like a lot, and it's not. However, it's a way to de-risk a volatile stock portfolio.
15:54 KEY POINT: These bonds look more attractive for those who have fixed expenses lower than 3:53%.
16:19 I look at I Bonds and EE Bonds blended.
16:50 SEGMENT 5: DEPLOYING EVEN MORE MONEY IN BONDS (TREASURY BONDS)
17:32 Treasury Notes are offering a nice yield for 2-7 year money.
18:17 KEY: Treasury Notes can be used for money earmarked for future I Bond and EE Bond deployment.
19:00 Current Rates On Treasury Notes (From TreasuryDirect dot Gov)
19:30 KEY POINT: Interest rates are surging. This is why the stock market is tanking!
20:59 KEY POINT: Treasuries can be great for those who have a lump sum of money. Treasuries can help with dollar cost averaging.
22:17 SEGMENT 6: BOND ARBITRAGE STRATEGY
23:55 SEGMENT 7: MORE NOTES ON I BONDS AND EE BONDS
25:20 KEY POINT: Could be a great way to earn interest on business reserves.
26:02 Every dollar counts.
26:58 SEGMENT 8: STOCKS AND BONDS ALLOCATION SPREADSHEET ANALYSIS
28:50 I'm more of a 90% stocks, 10% bonds kind of investor.
