But he never sold any of those stocks even when they reached record highs. Which I feel bad for him sometimes, but that's just his preference as he's mainly after the dividend. He just continues to buy into them with the leftover money that he has after his expenses.
That's smart of him buying during the crash.

Not only he doubled his money probably and getting dividends.

Should maybe let him know to save up some dividends and wait for the next crash to cash in more...
