If you want to "get wealthy and stay wealthy" dividends are better. If you're successful your portfolio can generate all the income you need without having to sell shares.
Stock price goes down proportional to the dividend. You’re exchanging cash for growth, dividends for capital gains. You have to reinvest to maintain value. It’s a largely pointless exercise, unless you’re purpose is to hold large stable companies
I do both, it’s best to have multiple investing strategies going on for different goals and milestones. I love growth and investing in Etfs’s but receiving dividends help stay in the market psychologically
If you buy dividend ETF stocks young and never sell, you wouldnt have to change those stocks later and could collect the dividend income without EVER dealing with capital gains from selling growth stocks and switching to dividends… for a taxable brokerage qualified dividends are KING
These guys are part of the mainstream index fund cult that dress up as intellectuals. They believe that just because we can measure historical events (Past recessions, WW1/2, etc.) through the stock market and add it all up that in turn that past “trend” indicates there will be a relentless rise, around 7% in profits. They fail to understand that this literally in no way shape or form is how probability or the real world works. Either these people lack the knowledge on how these instruments work or just close their eyes to its reality. And I don’t blame them. If you truly understood that buying stocks isn’t actually owning at all. That you’re buying an imaginary piece of paper that entitles you to nothing. And that it’s growth is entirely based on what the next person believes (Belief is a key word here) will happen, you can begin to realize it’s very similar to a Ponzi scheme. New hopefuls pay previous hopefuls. Yes, it’s scary, to understand this, because you fail to have a magical engine of relentless growth that you can set and forget. Stocks are imaginary tokens disguised as companies. They don’t owe anyone a buy back, or a dividend. And 99.99% of people don’t have a significant portion of stock to even be considered ownership at all or influence to do real business. It’s all one huge play on words. It’s as if the next social security isn’t funded by the government but by the people paying a tax into these growth funds. Be grateful you got a dividend.
I agree, just because a company gives out a dividend doesn't mean it's a good company. They could be using dividends as a means to attract new investors. Buying solid companies is key and dividends are a nice little bonus because of the feeling you guys described.
Any financial instrument you invest in should be paying you. It can be pennies but you should be getting something tangible for putting your money in their vessel. Doesn't matter if its stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, or even real estate. There is no promise of growth, only hope.
I’ve been retired for five years and I’m living off of the dividends that my portfolio provides. I have shares in BDCs and ETFs mostly. I’m 66 and I plan on waiting until 70 for my Social Security.

Its a % of growth vs income investing. IMO a young person should focus on growth but as time goes on shift towards income.
Growth focus for first 25-30 years, then combo income & withdrawal for next 30! 🎉😅 💵

Dividend investor here and retired at 54 on my very conservative portfolio with no tech and no biotech.

Gen X Dividend Investor might have a differing opinion on building dividend assets over one's life.
If “Wall Street” tells you not to without further elaborating why, chances are you’re right on the money 💎
What did mans even say, LOL …
Dividend investment is the best passive income ever
This might be ya'll dumbest content post yet. No context at all. Just disagreement for the sake of clicks.
Not going to get wealthy being a wageslave. Scalable dividend investing can buy back your time.
Replace dividend investing with literally any other financial buzzword and you have the same clip. This is useless.

What was the point of this clip? He didn't say anything.
People will complain about dividend tax but are okay with paying higher taxes while getting a raise
He's confusing me 😂
Dividend investing best when you crest the top of the investment hill.
I like compounding.
