Yes and no. Dividends themselves will not protect your principal investment. If there is a recession or a panic selling, your stocks will lose value. There is no protection except going 100% cash.

What is the secret of stock trading to make money all the time?
You need to distinguish between “stock trading” and “stock investing”. Stock investing is easy and you can make a lot of money over time.

When the market goes up, everybody complains. When it falls, everybody complains.
So, I was wrong. Yesterday, I posted my expectation of a measured move. And it failed. Twice the futures tried to set up a pullback, twice that attempt failed and markets finished red.

Coronavirus fear overblown. Load up anytime Wall Street freaks out.
Apple (AAPL) said that they will not meet the revenue guidance due to Coronavirus and market participants pooped their pants again. Futures down 0.45% (now recovered a bit to -0.34%). This virus is an old news. Come up with something else. I do not want to belittle the death of people, but just in the Continue reading →
