Dividend Investing Is Bizarre

BY FATTAILED · PUBLISHED JANUARY 9, 2019 · UPDATED JANUARY 6, 2019

“I’m utterly fascinated by how many dividend investing blogs i see on my Twitter feed. Everybody constantly reciting their monthly cashflow numbers, talking about new stocks that they are buying, swapping war stories about how bad the markets have been. And the thing is, I have absolutely no idea whatsoever why this whole phenomenon is a thing. I mean, I just don’t get it at all.

It’s as if the entire world is taking crazy pills and is looking high and low for an investment class that is designed to produce low risk free cashflow, yet is entirely ignorant that there are these things called “bonds” which are designed to do exactly that.

I’m not going to sugarcoat it. I think a dividend only investment plan is really, really odd.”

DEM: Why I’m Still A Strong Believer In This 4% Yielder

Summary

  • Emerging markets have been disappointing overall in 2018, but DEM has been a notable outperformer.
  • Its focus on mature dividend-paying companies has provided valuable downside protection in an unexpectedly bearish market.
  • History shows that when the P/E divergence between EM and the S&P 500 is as large as it is now, emerging markets have significantly outperformed over the subsequent five years.
  • Investors who are scared away from emerging markets based on recent performance and volatility could be making a big mistake.
