The Power of Dividends

Many investors regard dividend-paying companies as uninteresting, low-return investments. Dividend-paying stocks are usually more mature and predictable than high-flying small-cap businesses, whose volatility may be pretty thrilling. Though some may find this uninteresting, the combination of a steady dividend and rising stock prices might provide earnings potential that is compelling enough to be enthusiastic about. 
 
My portfolio used to consist of dividend-paying stocks; however, I had decided to use concentrated play like investing the majority of my portfolio is in Alibaba Group (Ticker: BABA). In a way, I regretted making this investment adjustment to my portfolio since my previous version portfolio is doing much better than the current one. I like my previous portfolio much more because I could receive dividends from holding those stocks in my portfolio. With the dividends payout, I was able to buy more shares of companies that I like. Well, there is nothing I can do about it now since most of my capital is invested in only two stocks, Alibaba Group (Ticker: BABA) and Pfizer Inc. (Ticker: PFE). 
 
Due to my mistake, I learn something valuable, which is not to underestimate dividend-paying stocks. In this blog post, I am going to explain the power of dividends. Moreover, I will explain why holding a portfolio of dividend-paying stocks can be an excellent stock investment strategy. Lastly, I am going to give my opinion on investing in dividend-paying stocks.

Inequality has gotten so out of hand that it is stifling US growth.
