Dividends play a big role for investors, whether they know it or not. In this week’s episode of the Mullooly Asset Show, Tom explains the main reason why dividends are important.
Here’s what I’ve been reading this morning:
‘There are Always Reasons to Sell’ – Michael Batnick – The Irrelevant Investor
- When it comes to being bullish or bearish about the markets, there’s always a thousand different reasons to be bearish. Michael outlines a handful of things investors could fear, and why it’s harder to make a case to be bullish.
‘The Worst Dilemma in Investing’ – Blair duQuesnay – The Belle Curve
- It sounds great on paper, the idea of “I’ll get back in the market once things settle down”. As Blair writes, the things you’re waiting for may never come. There may never be the “perfect time” to get back into the market.
‘Why Many People Misunderstand Dividends, and the Damage This Does’ – The Wall Street Journal
- Dividends are a touchy subject for a lot of people. Those who own dividend-paying stocks NEVER want to see the dividend cut under any circumstances, but sometimes it could be for the good of the company. This article takes a look at what some people don’t understand about dividends.
‘Rubbish Rallies’ – Jamie Catherwood – Investor Amnesia
- I’m sure you’ve seen the news about Hertz and the logic-defying increase in demand after filing bankruptcy. Jamie highlights a similar rally from the 19th century that makes even LESS sense than people piling into Hertz post-bankruptcy.
ENJOY!
