<< I post here rarely because what I am doing does not align with the thread>> That speaks volumes. Maybe you should give up the moderator's role to someone whose investment decisions do align with this thread. I can think of a few people who qualify who follow the Steven Bavaria model of dividend investing. These people are laughing at you, seeing how you are reacting to the stock market decline. Declines for them are just opportunities to open the spigot for more dividend reinvestment. They are hardly phased at all about the decline and the big leg down that I am expecting. As for me, there is no need to be envious that I called the rally from the June lows and the top near SPX $4325 and went net short. Why does that bother you so much? Are you now afraid that my next prediction will come true? Again, a true dividend investor would not be phased by my calls whatsoever. In fact, they would look upon them with detached interest, not fear. As for my macro calls or stock picks, long and short, I never pretended to be always right. But I have had a very good year. I'm a swing trader, not a dividend investor, but I do trade dividend stocks at times and have been known to hold them for a year or two, as long as they remain in uptrends. There are alternatives to investing in dividend stocks at the moment like 6 month T-Bills. There is also the question of what to do with your dividend stocks if they have fallen substantially, like 30%-40% off their highs. But I see you are not open to any discussion outside of blindly buying and holding on to dividend paying stocks regardless of a market environment, which is at the initial stages of showing its hostility to those kind of stocks.
