Did you read thi...OK -- to each his own, I guess. <br /><br />Did you read this article and notice that I would have been underwater if it were not for nearly $100,000 in dividends I received since 2013? While VTI pays dividends (https://marketchameleon.com/Overview/VTI/Dividends/), it doesn't come close to DivGro's yield. Plus, VTI's dividends go up and down, while DivGro's dividends continue to grow over time. <br /><br />In my mind, there's absolutely no comparison. Besides, I like what I'm doing.FerdiS, DivGrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330193431527796718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-2774800346988055842020-03-25T11:22:02.361-07:002020-03-25T11:22:02.361-07:00So all this work and you could have just invested ...So all this work and you could have just invested in an index fund such as VTI and do the same, without hours or even months of stock picking work and study...interesting ! <br />J.L.Collins also says that and I'm beginning to believe him and go towards that paths.

Inflation, which probably will come due to the stimulus, will eat away at cash relentlessly.<br /><br />For me, as a DGI still generating active income and several (though less than 10 years) from retirement, I want to continue building a growing dividend income stream. That means continuing to redeploy dividend income to buy more shares in order to compound. <br /><br />The good news is, I can now buy more shares for the same dollars than just a month or so ago. But I'm careful, as we are in a bear market now. So I'm focusing on quality more than ever before.<br />FerdiS, DivGrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330193431527796718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097510160054715524.post-55992103444010332652020-03-25T09:57:06.418-07:002020-03-25T09:57:06.418-07:00I love your blog.

Now, how do y...I love your blog. Regular lurker :)<br /><br />Now, how do you feel about holding cash? I want to invest, but in what? So many worries. Deflation (people will buy less, because buying power goes down with expected job losses.) <br />Inflation... 7 trillion pumped into the market, basically almost doubled the USD amount. <br /><br />So do I protect against inflation with TIPS or Gold/ or deflation, keep cash. Have you thought about that?<br />Sebastiannoreply@blogger.com
