Buy dividend paying stocks before the Fed lowers rates. If you are happy with the cash flow forget about the stock price after that. People here (generally speaking) are old or old-ish and should be shifting their investments to dividend paying stocks at this point anyway.

When you look at the Magneficient 7 which includes such as Amazon and NVDIA, they rallied a lot this year. Amazon is up about 75% year to date.

Typically if you have a rally like this, the following year will see likely a +7 to +10% return. I liken it to a spring oscillation as the displacement or movement decreases with time.

However, investors will rotate to other stocks that were beaten down and look like good values.

In 2023, regional banks have been beaten down, so has healthcare and energy stocks. That is why I like Vanguard High Dividend Yield Fund and its Healthcare Fund.

Regional banks... is the worst yet to come? They've already had a decent run (but well off their previous highs).

I'm older and I am not going to dividend stocks yet because I am a greedy bastard who wants more obscene capital appreciation before shifting to an income objective.

Luckily I have enough dividends and interest to be able to wait a little while longer.

History suggests the stock market will likely do well in the election year of an incumbent President which is 2024. Time will tell.

With 3 rate cuts projected for 2014, and 30-year fixed mortgage rates have come down to 6.25% now, this actually provides a little tail wind for the housing market going into this spring/summer.

For those iTulip fans, Finster's Financology website has a few suggestions (full disclosure, I just read because I like his writing style, and am not financially affilliated with this) for a more income/dividend weighted investment style:

Unfortunately, I make enough in Apple dividends that I don't qualify for a whole bunch of government welfare... Obamacare subsidies, energy subsidies, etc. Dividends force you to take the "income" every year. I'd rather just be accumulating capital gains and decide when to take recognize the gain. For example, after qualifying for medicare and fleeing California.

A person could always short California State and municipal bonds.

That might work out.

While you're working, living in California is OK from a taxation perspective. If you're paid enough, who cares about California income tax?

When you're retired and living off of your various investments, it's a very bad deal.

Without withdrawing anything from a retirement account or annuity, I saved $7,000 in California taxes in my first year.
When I start actually spending the money, the savings will be much more.

You guys can help pay for the schools and healthcare for illegals and their children; don't expect them to thank you however.
I forgot the rich pension of the county workers, cops and firemen, sheriff, CHP.

Is there a bulletproof long term dividend paying stock?

What do you guys think of this?

You're in stocks of the healthiest blue-chip companies at an expense ratio of almost zero.

Please let us know when you figure out how to circulate your money through a DAF and back into your pocket. We damn sure know that's what the Buffetts and Bezo's are doing but somehow it's legal for them.

Not enough income being generated. I'm nearing retirement and really only want the income.

Makes sense. I was thinking just in general, not necessarily for income generation. I'm about 15 years away from retirement.
19   clambo   @   2023 Dec 29, 11:19am  

Before retirement your investment objective is capital appreciation.

During retirement, your investment objective is usually income to replace the income you had from working. But, this isn't a rule.

Even capital appreciation funds pay a dividend in December each year, small as it may be. But, if you a lot of dough in the fund, you get some cash from it.

My extreme greed and avarice compels me to delay changing my investment objective just yet.

Not investment advice necessarily. Slightly confused by the massive price drops at the grocery store. Talking 25% drops. Same with gas here. I'm confused. This happened in the last week. End of year dump or something? It's dramatic from what it was 2-3 weeks ago. Not joking 25% across the board almost. Fucking weird.
