Seeking Advice Starting a portfolio
I’d like to start an investment portfolio up. What should I be looking for when building my portfolio? What should I look to avoid? Got about $85k in the bank so I’m thinking I’ve got maybe 50-60 to play with.

I guess it depends on what your goals are. Are you close to retirement? 10 years away? Are you looking for $$$ now?

Since this is r/dividends search these terms
"dividend aristocrats"
"dividend Kings"
"dogs of the Dow" although this one is losing its lustre.

I was looking this morning for the same thing on YouTube. There are loads of videos that answer your question there.
