If you are so concerned about dividend income, why not buy a 6 month T-Bill which is currently yielding 3.8% with no risk whatsoever. I say this because the shell life of this bear is projected to last a lot longer than 6 months from this point in time. Many of the stocks in your portfolios are only yielding 3-4%. Why should anyone buy a stock yielding 3-4% when they can get a risk free return of close to 4%?

You yourself are bearish, but don't trust your bearishness.

All you are doing by buying more stocks is creating more pain in accordance with the Fed's goal.

The more prudent thing to do is to step aside if you don't want to go short and buy some risk free 6 month T-Bills. Sure, that's a losing proposition too since the inflation rate is greater. But the goal in a bear market ( if you don't want to go short) is to lose less.
