Your Stocks Are Crashing. But My Dividend Income Has Never Been Higher

After a very lengthy bull market run that lasted for quite a while, that now appears to be in jeopardy. With Donald Trump announcing tariffs on imports from China, Canada, and Mexico, it's sent the stock market into panic mode. According to the White House's website, "The extraordinary threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs, including deadly fentanyl, constitutes a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Until the crisis is alleviated, President Donald J. Trump is implementing a 25% additional tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 10% additional tariff on imports from China.

Energy resources from Canada will have a lower 10% tariff." Initially performing well, the S&P is now down for the year, and as of the making of this video, the sell-off isn't showing signs of slowing down. If these tariffs aren't lifted or scaled back like it's currently speculated they might, then it's likely to negatively impact the economy and the stock market for a while. With that being said, if there is no scale back, then the period of easy money in the markets, especially the NASDAQ, is likely to be over. We've had a really excellent past few years in both major indexes, with the S&P being up nearly 100% in the last five years and the NASDAQ being up 158% before the selloff started.

The stock market is a mess right now. Prices keep dropping, and a lot of people are watching their portfolios shrink. It’s tough to see so much red across the board.

Because of dividends, I first began investing in stocks. It's important, in my opinion, to be able to live off of dividends without selling if you invest and make other income in addition to payouts. It suggests that you may pass that down to your kids and give them a leg up in life. Over the years, I've invested over $600k in dividend stocks; I continue to buy more today and will keep doing so until the price drops even further.

Selling during market crashes was once my biggest stock market investing mistake. Buy the dips. If you can't buy the dips, then hold and take a break from your watching your portfolio.

[MessedUpParodies]

You summed up the beauty of dividend income investing nicely. If the market goes up, great! If the market goes down, that's great too! A correction is an opportunity, not something to panic over. Keep your cool, stick with the plan.

I had problem comprehending trading in general. I tried watching other YouTube trading channels, but they made the concepts more complicated. I was almost giving up until when i discovered content and explain everything in detail. The videos are easy to follow

[AdamLevine]

Every market crash creates opportunities. I've seen people make $1M during downturns and even more in strong economies. Someone always profits from the cycle.

You said the most important statement ever. Dividend investing results in looking at the market in an entirely new way. And yes, a drop in the market will result in great opportunities for us dividend investors to buy our favorite stocks at a great discount.

As an lnvesting enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?.

This is the moment where we will be able to see who is the patient and who is the impatient investor

We need to remember that stock market crashes are important opportunities because now stocks are on sale.

I enjoy trading in closed-end funds that offer monthly dividends. The key strategy is to hold these investments long-term while reinvesting the monthly dividends and purchasing additional shares whenever possible. This approach is convenient because closed-end funds are traded on the stock market like regular stocks. Following this strategy could build a portfolio that generates between $50, 000 to $70, 000 in dividend income.

Don't be seduced by large dividends. Concentrate on total return. There is no sense in collecting large dividends if your overall investment is going down however I’d say SPYI, JEPQ, QQI and IWMI. But do your research. Personally I put down 250k on few ETFs, still diversifying. Earning season is around the corner, It was this time last year I made a huge break through with 200k. Handed it to a firm here in Texas, I get weekly pay out which I put back on long term ETF's. IWM will probably crush it this quarter

[peoriaos]

I kind of like these corrections because high divs go on sale.

You work for 42yrs to have $2m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $20k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multi millionaires I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

[dool]

My only investments are in small hypergrowth microcap stocks that are growing exponentially and not correlated to the overall stock market... not all companies are affected

What maybe 40 pounds came from Canada and that was her own people bringing it in it in from Canada

[jeffrobodine]

I loaded up on the JEPI ETF on the dips over the last few years. Low volatility and high dividends make it a great choice.

[Wood-Je]

I got into stock investing last 2yrs with $112k and i have lost about $65k, it seems i'm not always lucky when picking stocks please i need some help

[ToastbackWhale]

4:14 if people are stressed out during dips, I don’t think a different kind of investing is going to fix that, unless those people are chasing VERY short term results. You only lose money if you sell.
