Coronavirus Infects Stock Market: Part XXXIV

Your takeaway from my chart below, where stocks did nothing for a generation is, dividends—as in d-i-v-i-d-e-n-d-s.

In the chart below, they’re not included.

It’s a simple price chart.

Remember, if you’re receiving dividends—like rent on an income property—you’re being paid to be in the market. Price isn’t much of a concern.

You don’t live or die by the price of a property year to year. It’s the initial price you pay and rents that bring home the bacon. Relying on fluctuations in prices is speculating, not investing.

Take a look at Young Research’s dividend-centric RCs strategy and how it has performed. You can see the value of dividends.

Income keeps you in the game in times like these.
