Many investors underestimate the power of staying invested. Riding out market volatility and uncertainty while holding quality stocks can lead to dramatic long-term results.

In May, a dividend investor posted in a Reddit community that he reached $1,000 per day in dividend income after 37 years of investing. The portfolio screenshots shared by the investor on the social platform showed his monthly dividend income stood at $30,417.

The investor said he began investing following the Black Monday crash of 1987, and urged retail investors to stay focused and remain invested through market downturns. He said he stayed invested in the market through the dot-com crash, the 2008 financial crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and tariff-related volatility.

“I started investing in 1988 using my student loans to open an IRA,” he wrote. “I’ve been steadily buying dividend stocks ever since. I have worked so hard to hit this goal which will fund our retirement.”

Let’s take a look at some of the top stocks in his portfolio.
