When it comes to picking a stock market investing strategy, there’s a lot of options you can pick from. However, if you’ve ever taken a close look into each one, you’ll realize that dividend investing stands out in two major ways. Dividend investing is much less volatile than most of the other strategies that exist. But it’s also the only strategy that exists that allows you to build up a stream of passive income. Every other investing style requires you to sell shares of your holdings, and if the market happens to be down massively over a period of time, then you’ll have to eat into more of your investments to cover your expenses.
Dividend investing is one of the most popular forms of investing, not by just retirees, but by people who love having another income stream. Once you buy dividend paying investments, you just sit back and watch the dividends get deposited into your account. But it’s important to know that dividend investing is a long term strategy. You’ll never get rich overnight. But it is a much safer strategy at not only building wealth, but also creating a source of passive income. If you’re new to my channel, I’m both a dividend and an income investor. I invest for dividend growth, but also for higher yielding dividend stocks, which are often referred to as income holdings. With only one exception, everything I invest in yields a minimum of 4%, which differentiates me from most other dividend investors on YouTube.
