The Reasons Why Dividend Stocks Make Great Investments

Investment Thoughts
Is Staying Away From The Stock Market Right

2018 Strategy (Boring Buy and Hold for Dividends)
Many once good dividends companies like Singpost, SPH, M1 and StarHub etc. are reducing their dividends payout. This year, My Family Portfolio (since 2008) will be buying more Small and Medium size fundamentally good companies that pay better dividends. My Family investment strategy is 10% trading and 90% long-term holding for dividends.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average end the week at 26,743.50 +86.52. It seems like the coming US elections is pushing the Dow to an all time high while the rest of the world stock market slump. The 2018 USA elections will be held mostly on Tuesday, November 6. These midterm elections will take place in the middle of Republican President Donald Trump's first term. All 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate will be contested.

The STI was strong on Friday and I managed to do a single small sell. If it continue to be strong next week, I will continue my slow selling and vice versa.

The recent depressed market show once again that dividend stocks play an important role when it come to investing. Assuming that you bought a non-dividend stocks and did not cut loss, what happened is that you will earn nothing if the stock do not went up for another 2 to 3 years or more. Now you know why many financial blogger emphasis the important of dividends even for trading.

Focusing on dividend stocks does not mean blindly chasing dividend without regards to fundamental. Look for sustainable dividends stocks like DBS, Comfort DelGro, Singtel or Vicom etc.
