What is going on everybody? It is Stas here. Welcome back to another video. So in today's video, like you guys read in the title, we're going to be talking about some dividend paying stocks. And who doesn't like talking about dividend paying stocks?  We're going to be talking about why these stocks are super important in my personal opinion, especially in the year of 2019 towards the end of the economic cycle that we are currently in right now. But before we do get into these topics, let's talk about what are dividend stocks very quickly for those of you new viewers out there that might not know. Dividend stocks are simply stocks that pay dividends. Then you may be asking yourself, then what are dividend stocks? Well, dividends are earnings, let's say a company has a product, right? They make money from selling that product and they get a profit, right? They can do either a couple of things with this profit that they get. They can reinvest it back into the business, maybe hire new employees, launch a new product, whatever, or they can give a piece of that earnings to the shareholders in a form of dividends. So it's pretty much just income produced from the stock. A dividend investing stock, you invest in a dividend stock so you can have income spit out at you pretty much every single quarter and sometimes monthly. So that's kind of a brief one-minute rundown on why or what dividend stocks are. Now let's get into a couple of reasons as to why they are so essential in my personal opinion here in 2019. And I'm sure a lot of you guys can relate to this. And I do have a list here on my phone. So if you guys see me glancing down, that is what I'm glancing down at. So a couple of companies also to give you guys some stocks to think of, not to invest in because you have to do your own research always, but just think of dividend companies. When you think of those, these are the ones that come to my mind, right? I'm thinking Coca-Cola, I'm thinking Pepsi, I'm thinking McDonald's, right? I'm thinking Procter & Gamble, I'm thinking Johnson & Johnson. These are some of the big, you know, five, six couple of companies that I think of when you think of or when I think of dividend paying stocks. And another thing you notice with these dividend stocks is a lot of these companies are really, they've been in the game in a long time and the companies are really old in a sense and they don't grow as quick as these growth stocks, which is one of the main reasons why they don't reinvest those earnings because they're not growing as much. So why not spit them out to the investors, to the stakeholders in a form of dividends, but that's another little side tangent on dividend stocks. So the most important thing in terms of dividend stocks for 2019 and why I think they're so essential is because they provide you with cash flow. This dividend you're getting, it's a form of cash flow that you can count as income, right? And you can do so many different things with this dividend that you get. You can reinvest it back into the company. And if you, you know, let's say you buy more of stock with the dividends that you got from that company, well, now you have more shares of that company. So the next time dividends roll around in the next two, three months, you're going to get even more dividends because you have more shares, right? And this kind of goes into the next point, which is compound interest. And we'll talk about that in a couple of minutes. You can also do another really cool thing with this cash flow. You can actually live off of it eventually. This is what a lot of people do, right? They work from a young age. They're stashing money into their retirement accounts, either their 401k or their Roth IRA. Maybe they don't really like the retirement account route. Maybe they're simply building a brokerage for themselves and they just put money in every month consistently.  And they're like, okay, maybe I want to retire now. Their goal is to live off of the cash flow being spit out by, you know, these companies, these companies that are paying the dividends. So it's very powerful because you can literally eventually live off of the dividends. You can pay your mortgage with it. You can pay your rent, your groceries, your bills, your utilities, whatever it may be. You can literally pay all that stuff simply by owning a stock. It's literally the purest form of passive income because you're giving them your money. They're investing it and they're spitting it out, spitting out interest for you, which is pretty much the dividend. You're literally not doing anything, but just simply, you know, watching your portfolio, obviously maybe buying more, maybe selling some at some times, but that stuff doesn't take too much time. It's mostly passive income. Another thing you can do is you can supplement your income with this cash flow. Let's say you're not making enough money from your dividends to live off of them completely. Let's say you still work a job. Let's say you still work nine to five, or let's say you work a sales job or something, and you want to supplement your income, but again, you don't have enough income to live full time. You can simply supplement your income, pay maybe a couple of your bills with your dividends, so you don't have to rely fully on your main income. That's something that's very nice, especially towards the end of the economic cycle that we're in right now. Notice, guys, I made a video on this actually a couple of weeks ago, and if you guys want to see that video, it talks about dividend stocks versus the S&P 500 in terms of their performance. We noticed how the S&P 500 is outperformed by these dividend aristocrat companies. Dividend and aristocrats are companies that have grown their dividends for 25 plus years, so pretty much if you owned that company, a dividend aristocrat company through periods of hard times, you would have done better holding those companies versus holding some growth stocks that got clobbered and that didn't pay a dividend during that time period. It does provide you a security against a recession. You're going to lose money regardless. Well, you won't lose money technically because you're not selling, but you will be down on your positions most likely unless you pick a couple of stocks that don't go down during a recession, which is very, very hard and unlikely to do, but you're not going to be as down as some of these growth stocks and you're going to be getting dividends throughout that time period, which during a recession, guys, people are losing their jobs, people are feeling heat in the workforce, the unemployment rate is going up pretty much, right? And they may need to rely on some dividend income, so this can also help people in that sense as well.  Let's say they have an emergency fund and they also have some dividend income coming in. That can really help them as they try and find a new job in time periods where the economy is in rough times like it is during a recession. So that is some ways that it can help you out from a cash flow perspective. And like I mentioned a couple of minutes ago, on to the second way now, the second topic of how you can really be helped and benefited by dividend stocks is compound interest, guys. And this kind of goes into what I said earlier, how you can reinvest the cash flow. Well, compound interest is the beauty, and people call it the eighth wonder of the world, but it's the beauty of investing in the stock market. And it really goes to show over a span of 10, 20, 30 years how this does end up working. And for those of you guys that don't know, let's just go into it very quickly here. So compound interest is pretty much interest that's earning interest that's earning interest in a way. That's a lot of that's how a lot of people out here in the community, people out there, you know, talking about personal finance and stuff, that's how they break it down, right? And the whole idea here is you're buying dividend stocks, right? And they're spitting out dividends. And when you're getting that cash, you can reinvest it back into the company and buy more shares of that company. And then the next quarter comes around, and you get more dividends, which will turn into more stock buying. And you'll have more stocks after that, right? More shares. So it's a constant buildup. And the snowball gets so big after years and years of doing it that the interest starts making interest on top of all this new money that you're just making simply from reinvesting the dividends, that's making money on top of it. So it's like a crazy cycle. So this is really the main reason why I love long term dividend investing and just reinvesting the profits or the dividends, right? I love this strategy because one day I do want to live off of dividends. I want dividends to be one source of income. My long, long-term goals, I'm looking like 30 years ahead now. I definitely want to have my assets spread out, you know, bonds. I want to be living off some dividend stocks. I want to have some real estate. And it's definitely important to plan these things out years and years and years in advance before you do get to retirement.  So it's important to be like very diligent about this stuff and have a plan so you can live off of your investments, guys. Isn't that like the dream right at one day? You don't have to work anymore. You can literally just live off of your stocks. That's pretty awesome, right? So another topic here is kind of protect against market downside. Dividends, they protect against market downside. Like I said earlier in this video and like I talked about in a completely separate video, dividend aristocrats have beaten the S&P 500 during the bad time periods in the stock market. And again, that video is linked down below. You guys can go check that out and you'll see how the dividend aristocrats performed against the S&P 500. So you could really just do well during a time period of downside with having these companies that are paying you cash flow, right? That's really, really beneficial. And it really does well during time periods where the markets are crashing because think about it, if you only had growth stocks, sure, you're not technically, you didn't lose money because you didn't sell. You'd be down 30, 40% in a lot of cases, right? But these dividend stocks, these dividend aristocrats that kind of weather the storm, yeah, you may be down 20% on your principal, but it's still spitting out interest to you. It's still spitting out dividends that you can utilize these dividends. You can pay bills. You can buy this, right? You can reinvest into the stocks to get more dividends in the next quarter. And the key here is these dividend aristocrat companies, they raise their dividends even in harsh times, even in periods of recessions. So you really can just continue to get more and more cash flow. Let's say if a recession lasts two years, let's say it lasts a year and a half, two years, these companies, they will still be, most of them, paying out increasing amounts of dividends during that time period to be considered a dividend aristocrat.

What's up everybody, welcome back to the channel. We are here for the Torch Drift Beta. There has an update been released and some of the things on this update list are pretty awesome. They changed the higher range of horsepower at higher levels. They added some new sponsors, dynamic cameras. They changed the paint shop a little bit, rewards and sponsors were changed. They fixed some audio issues as well as fixed the manual, fixed the loot from the crates when buying crates and some of the other issues that were going on with the game. So they have done a lot of updating to this game. So we are going to go into the game and take a look at some of these updates because I did notice some other things when I was looking at this and a lot of them are pretty sweet. So we are going to take a look into this 200 and basically 25,000 sessions played. So they didn't reset our accounts which is a good thing because I was worried they were going to reset the accounts because you know I was pretty up there with my cars. But if you notice in the background one of the biggest changes I've noticed is well not biggest changes. If you have the high end tires they now have the Nexon logos on the tires which is pretty sweet to actually see on these cars. So my car is now over a thousand horsepower and a pro level which is really nice. So it is definitely, we are going to adjust my audio because I feel like my audio was a little bit too high and it was peaking. So it's definitely nice that it has gotten up over pro level with over a thousand horsepower in this rotary looking to get it changed more power here soon. So that's one change I've noticed. Another change that I have noticed is well obviously they got some more sponsors. They got HGK over there. They got Fly One, JDM of California. But I did actually get my Rad Dan sponsorship. I remember if you guys were watching a previous video I was trying to get the sponsorship.  They also have GAD tires. So there's a lot of new sponsors on here, a lot of cool things. Now one of the things that I did notice, we're going to go to Hakone to show you this. I don't know if it came in this update or if it was on a previous update but I never caught it. As you can see 1137 horsepower pro level car, E30 rotary. So one thing I did notice is particularly at the bottom we have five gears now. Before we only had four and now we have five. So I don't know if that was just added in the recent or if it was because I have a different level car now that has with the different clutch and everything gave me that fifth gear since Sol Pro. I am not sure. I have to actually look into it a little bit more but as you can see I was able to get my Rad Dan with this car closer to the top of the mountain because we did some really long high-speed drifting which I'm going to take this car up the mountain and just give it a little rip-rip up here before we maybe get into some tandem because I'm trying to get the JDM California sponsorship which is 10 30 meter door dives on Hakone and I believe we have Hakone Skyline here so we're going to get in this in tandem so that was a cool right on the wall. Get on to Hakone Tandems and try and finish off that I believe I have five or six so this car definitely could wreck this entire course I feel like we should not have lost our points to that but so this car is running extremely well now and if you notice my FPS is really high up there even though I'm recording they did some smoothing out of the game it looks like so my frame rate has definitely substantially gotten better from prior episodes because you guys know when I record my frame rate drops a little bit but it's not really dropping right now that was right on that wall. I'm having so much fun in this E30 just ripping up this mountain. One thing I don't like is the whole audio drop chain when you are up there on the high drift level how it like muffles it when you're at really high points we're going to drop that clutch a little bit and kick it up the hill. Car has plenty of power to shred up this hill so I want to get to the section where I was able to complete the Rad Dan sponsorship not here tap really hard on this break and we lost our door we don't need the door open air we're good oh no I didn't lose my bumper so if you guys are still playing this I know there's a lot of people saying that they can't get it they can't re-download it and or when they download it you know won't let them play or anything like that because Vita is closed so they aren't allowing any other people into the beta so this is up here is where I got my Rad Dan sponsorship was on these higher speed sections so but like I said if you have it and you were a part of it you can continue to play it still but they are not allowing other people to come into the beta the beta is officially closed so that is probably why some people who had it and had to re-download it or what not lost the ability to play see we're just ripping this section but see this car has so much power that it can rip these high speed sections with the fifth gear which is really nice and I didn't notice fifth gear before I could only go in the fourth so I don't know if it's a new thing or if it's a new car now but it just can rip these higher speed sections and just hold massive amounts of angle oh a little bit of an issue when I got that uh that Facebook notifications get wrecked or Instagram like notifications but so definitely having this car with all this power is nice I do love seeing those nexons spinning around on these tires because it gives it a bit of a different a different aspect of it looks sweet so I did get my rad Dan because you're following channel you guys know I was trying to get that so I did get that we're gonna go back to the main menu and we're gonna try to get some more door dives at Hakone if we can so we're gonna enter into skyline and try and get some of the door dives and try to get that sponsorship done I wish it was tunnel edge a lot easier to get some at tunnel edge but we are here ooh so 13 devils look and link all right looks like he's got a pretty sweet S15 paint so we can see if we can't get a good run here pop this thing all the way right in the fifth year has the power kick it in and not how I wanted to kick it in at all so that's not a good start to this run we're gonna try and save a ladder part of the track so I don't think that's gonna be high enough if he's buying have a hundred and some thousand looks like his car's pretty dialed from what it looks like then again you could have crashed so we will see not too high off of us so we could probably get him in this chase they have changed the cut screens too in between loading screens have been changed as well there's a lot of cool ones so that's another change that I have noticed so that's not gonna help us get our door dives and now because I can't see where he's at now I'm way behind and not gonna be able to catch him on the chase which means I don't think I'm gonna be able to win because I'm way far off and you know not even getting anything he's wondering oh he died Demons died I we did lose because we couldn't get a chase so it's kind of sad but you know is what it is it's the name of the game so we're gonna try and give a rematch on him and see if it's not it's not a bot it's an actual car he's gonna take our rematch so hopefully we can get a better lead run and we'll see what happens this time we're gonna try and rematch him so I went to go face him for a second time and my phone decided to crash look at that mad Mike getting chased by Dean Kearney so it crashed for some reason so we're back here at the cone trying to find another race so if you guys are still enjoying the drift beta videos let me know down the comment section down below big thank you to the game dad's a torture for allowing me to bring the content out and work on my way from the ground up here let's see we're going against a pretty pretty awesome looking Supra work on my way from the ground up from the cars with all the count resets and everything you know grinding it out it's definitely been a lot of fun it's definitely a lot of fun to play this game that's gonna be a hard hit why so I don't understand why when I'm trying to do tandems I have some sort of frame rate lag but when I'm driving normally I've absolutely no frame rate lag whatsoever so it's kind of a kind of sad thing because I wanted to get some good tannins but I don't understand why when I'm recording and I do tannins I get frame rate lag but when I'm not I don't so it's only but if I drive by myself it happens so it's got to just be a characteristic of it so we're gonna see if we can't get some door dives because that's the whole purpose of here on the cone is to get 30 meter door dives I don't think that's gonna work as a door dive I mean that was a very solid door smack wasn't really a door dive per se but probably could have gotten it so that man took him out took himself out so hopefully we still get the win I mean I'm not sure just barely barely took away but it is a win so we will take it as you can see the back of the dynamic camera looking a bit uh looking a bit different rotating around the car and it looked glitchy I think but you know some kind of a cool camera view we'll go to the next battle try to get another tandem run here we might switch up to a slab and try and get some runs at the slab just to you know try and get some good tannins for today's episode so you guys know you guys can follow me on Facebook, Twitch, Twitter, Instagram all which found in the description box below searching for opponents let's uh let's go waiting somebody want to go or did uh this event just end on me and since I did next it's not finding anybody because nobody can go into it so we can go back to the events page no it's still there well we'll hit up we'll hit up the slab run the slab run see if we can get some tandems in slab because they did fix the slab now because before you could not actually get a run like it would never find anybody and it was only the slab that did it which was unfortunate because the slabs fun track who we going against dark star 820 looks a little bit like James Dean and 1200 Roars powers so this should be a very interesting matchup if we can come out on top it'll be good it looks like he's got a very very good car so we should be able to get a good chase on him as long as we can make ourselves with a good lead oh so lucky we kept our points there this is actually a very good run so far I should downshift in the fourth but we can keep it in fifth have to kick that back a lot just a tab but I guess I will take it because it's a very high run I don't think I've ever gotten to run this high as a slab they had those walls for those nice wall rides on this section and we just outstand he had a good lead run as well so this is gonna be a good battle it's gonna be a close battle so hopefully we cannot we can get a good chase and stay on his door and you know get a solid point run that was a very weird entry but we will take it we are still gaining our tandem points he's a kind of pulling on us though and that's I was in points there going down in the fourth section I'm gonna try to cut the line a little bit just to gain some proximity so I don't completely lose him is really running that S14 pretty well so 28 29,000 this is gonna be a close match hopefully we came out to oh wow nope see he had a way better chase run than we did so that was a good match up against him again that was a very good run so there's a lot of good drivers out now a lot of good people that can lay down some solid runs I'm gonna try to get rematch at this man because he threw it down so be nice to try to get another run because he's not a he's not a body's natural player so he probably was saving his recording because he probably had a bomb chase we failed on the chase we get on the lead but we failed on the chase and we didn't lose that but he left get wrecked that's unfortunate so I did find it kind of cool that that picture of Daishihara's car is got the camera on top right there camera on top just like FD looks like it's at streets of Long Beach that track looks like from that little clip so let's see if we can find somebody a Hakone and maybe try and get another door dive for that sponsorship because I'm trying to get those done and it's that super again oh boy so hopefully we can do better against the super this time and lost it out so downshift and try and salvage this run because this is a very bad run way off of every single clip so that just made me look like it's total amateur here on the Hakone but still gonna chase him down trying to get those door dives I've come to the point where if I lose now it's not a big deal I'm just trying to get those door dives so I still try to run a solid chase or a solid lead run so that they have a nice chaseable run as well but sometimes you get bested by that and then there's that happening my car starting to be a little bit more skittier than I thought it was going to I don't know if maybe it just has something to do with setup now it never is really good on this skyline it's good on the it's good on the tunnel edge run but not so much here on the skyline circuit I think it's because I'm trying to really get on his door I lost my lot he took me out completely trying to get on his door so I'm trying to initiate different lines which is actually probably screwing me up instead of initiating on my normal line so we're gonna go to Ocean Drive Desert Palm while it's here because I believe I do have some door dives at Ocean Palm for another sponsorship that I have to get to but I totally forgot which one it is and I forgot how long it was so maybe we'll find out and well we'll see what happens if we can find somebody to go against us it's not a lot of people playing right now I think it's because a lot of people lost their betas and it looks like a HGK E46 so let's see what we can do here but we will make it work we can try and run that wall line transition back this way line there we go actually not a very bad you'd run except for right there just a tap just a very big tap 75 0.94 for us my initiation was very sloppy but we will take a higher higher score on our lean so we're gonna try and get a chase done and see how this goes I think this is probably the last run for today's episode so you guys know you can follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, all the frontstrips, VoxBlood, you can create all the support from everybody especially on this torque drift season series whatever you want to call it that I have been doing on the channel I'm so glad he goes through me when he's behind me he's the same thing I did so I feel like we'll take that win so you guys know I do appreciate all the support all the comments and everything you guys do on the channel so it did take that so as always I thank you guys for watching I'm EvilRabbit so still weird not having a drive so until next time thank you guys for watching I'm EvilRabbit I'm out
