Stocks Dividend History
Stocks Dividend History
Have You Given Up Your Hope on Stock Investment?
I have working in the financial sector for 8 years now. Having worked in investment company and also worked as a broker, this allows me to gain a lot of knowledge in the financial world.
But the best learning experience actually comes from a 50 years old secretary in one of my previous firm. Her stock dividend alone is $20,000 a year, to her this is her tour package fund. She will use this amount of her dividend to travel to Europe and Australia.
So I ask her what is her investment strategy. She said buy blue chip stocks in market downturn and wait patiently. Then she will list down the buying price of all her blue chip stocks, all of them are in super low price. When blue chip stocks make money, they will pay out good dividend. And good companies will increase their dividend payout year after year.
Recently I had heard some of my friends saying that they will not invest in stocks anymore. It seems like they have lost hope on stock investment. Then they will lose the biggest money making opportunity of their life time.
Retail investors should adopt a very long-term horizon to benefit from the stock investment.The best opportunity of major stock investment is during bad times. Always try to start major investments during a recession, a global market crisis, a banking crisis or when nobody is interested in stocks, such as now.
When fear and panic happens and people sell irrationally, fundamentals and intrinsic value are thrown out the window. This is when good companies get dumped together with the bad. Even stocks that are not directly related to the financial crisis are being sold at ridiculous prices.
Bull and bear markets always repeat themselves, just like summer and winter. We all know from history and common sense that the market will eventually recover and go to even higher highs.
If you want to emerge a winner, then stay calm, keep your logic and hold and invest in solid companies that are generating free cashflows, low in debt, and has to ability to recover after a recession.
I am calling for a bottom when S&P500 goes down to 800 or when STI goes down to 1200. At that time it would be the time for investors to commit “big”. I am sure our investment will pay off handsomely 2 – 3 years down the road.
If you dont have a broker account yet, send an email to me at metal.commodity@gmail.com, I will recommend my broker to you.
