The S&P 500 is littered with many instances of long period of down time where investor hold on to zero to very low yield stocks for many years. Examples below on most recent ones.
First Picture is 6 years wait.
Your wait will be extended by another 7 years if you buy in Year 2000 peak.
For this number of years in Dividend investing stocks, an investor has good chance to double their returns assuming just 5% yield. Currently Market is trading 5.5% yield for strong reits. Not saying S&P500 will repeat this stunt. Just to highlight the danger. Maybe one should DCA or do proper diversifications. Maybe stock picking is a good idea ? The index is still cool. Just be aware what we are walking into as not many can wait even for 3 years.

ReplyDeleteThe more dangerous one is a sharp drop then drift downwards for next 10+ years due to the twin pincers of inflation and debt (govt & company).
