Hi. I'm new to dividend investing and have a question. How do you manage the total return of your dividend investing? For example, it the company paying the dividend has it's stock price drop by 50%, I would expect that you total return would be negative. On the surface, it seems that buying a stock, reit, etc. for it's dividends is a risking business. (Of course, it the stock's price doubles, you've made a "killing".) Why not just by a GNMA fund?
