"Maybe you should try "to figure out which way the Market is going" and then your stocks would do a lot better." Up 1.39% today, so excuse me if I do things my way. Here is a little insight: I've found that most people do not want to beat the market. The market dictates the terms, but they only want to beat it if they can do it on their own terms. They want a like group of people that agree with their way, and a round of applause, when things go right. I have yet to see one dividend growth investor, that has any serious time in with a portfolio, that wouldn't be able to buy more income if they had just invested in SPY and changed to income if that was their preference in retirement. You can point it out ad infinitum, but they will still consider themselves winners as they fall behind, because they have more income than they had last year. That is why I post very little, other than to show everything that happens in my own portfolio. There are always those that will say: Oh yeah, show me what you did. That is really the only reason I have kept it up this long. Growing my daughters and three grandkids accounts way faster than I see anyone else growing their accounts is enough for me.
