Dividends and Long Term

The biggest personal investment most people make is their home, the second is their car. then their investments. The average person moves about 5 times, suggesting that when you start paying the mortgage, the most important aspect is not the price appreciation or the increasing market price of your home. Hopefully, you picked a good area for you and anyone who lives with you and the area stays a good place to live for a long time. If that happens your house will appreciate in value over time.

When you pick dividend stocks, as long as they continue to pay dividends the shares will be worth more money over time and in addition, you will have received payments or divdidends which increases your return.

The perspective of a long term is sometimes tough to understand, in today’s world there is a premium on instant gratification, the expression my time has been wasted is often heard; bad movies are called 2 hours that I can not get back; if you call an busy organization there is a wait time and we no longer want to wait.

on the other side of the coin is dividend stocks love time, they do better as time goes by. The value to you increases over time. If you are in the abouve category you can love time to.

The are always more questions than answers, till next time – to raising questions.
