I received over $1000 dividends from 32 different income sources in September. It is one of the largest payout months for this year.
Long term readers know that my ‘fat’ dividend months are March, June, September, and December. So, I could expect another big payout by end of the year.
I reinvested a portion of the income to generate more cash-flow and used the rest to pay down some debts.
As of this writing, most of the markets around the world have been experiencing volatility. Rising bond yields and trade uncertainties are the main reasons to blame this time. Every time nervous investors find a reason to sell.
To my knowledge, market volatility is pretty normal. Based on history, markets take dive two or three times per year. I think this is one of them.
In reality, we haven’t lost or made any money unless we sell.
If we own great business with the exceptional management teams, then we could ride through the market storm without having permanent damages by selling at bottom.
Even, if you have a shopping list, then you may consider adding some positions at a lower price.
Of course, I have seen these types of market volatility many times in the past. And, for sure, it is not the last or big one. Therefore, I will be seeing them again, many of them, in the future. Hence, I am financially and mentally prepare to face them.
Currently, I am with 100% equity portfolio, so I am not immune to unexpected market shocks. Even if I hold bonds, they won’t help at this time because they are doing worse than equities in the rising rate environment.
Regardless, I am a dividend investor and my focus is to build a sustainable income using high-quality dividend-paying stocks to cover my expenses.
According to market data, two-thirds of all stock market performance in history has come from rising dividends and the reinvestment of those dividends.
In addition, compounding is how most wealthy people made massive money.
By all means, if you want to become wealthy, we have to let our assets to compound without interruptions.
Therefore, the best thing I can do is staying intact.
- Keep eye on dividends and ignore share prices
- Building Wealth – The Goose that laid the golden eggs
- How I receive low-interest loans?
- I borrow money to invest in stocks (leverage investing)
