Dividend Investing for Beginners Learn the Basics to Generate Dividend Income from stock market - John K. Adamson
Introduction
When non-investors think of the stock market, they imagine a world of wheeling and dealing, with enormous fortunes won and lost in the blink of an eye. In my first year of trading, I tried to follow this model. The only difference was that my fortunes weren't enormous. That was definitely a good thing because it limited my losses from all the rookie mistakes I made.
Everything changed for me when I discovered dividend investing.
I had become disillusioned with trying to pick growth stocks even before the financial crisis of 2008-2009. As a beginning investor, I believed I could build my own portfolio of winning stocks if I did enough research, but after months spent glued to the computer, the best I could come up with was a random mix of winners and losers. The results of my obsessive research were a wash in terms of growth.
Chastened, I decided to become more conservative and follow the conventional wisdom of buy and hold. I bought shares in an index fund and resolved to hang in there no matter what the market did. And in the years of accelerating growth between 2005 and 2008, I did very well indeed.
If you follow the news, then you know what happened next. Between October 2008 and March 2009, the market took a nosedive and stocks lost massive amounts of value across the board. Investors who thought diversifying their investments would protect them were stunned to learn that their portfolios had lost one-third to one-half of their value.
I was in better shape during the financial crisis than many investors. I had the security of a pension from my years as an engineer in the automotive industry, and my wife, Nedra, and I had a healthy amount of savings that she insisted we keep in a money market savings account where it was insulated from the market. Still, I had substantial amounts of money invested in stocks, and my blood pressure in those two years went up as the market went down.
I was supposed to be following a buy and hold strategy, so I held on for dear life while I wondered how low the market could go. My persistence paid off as the plunge gradually reversed itself and my stocks regained nearly all of their previous value.
Nonetheless, I had learned an important lesson.
In my first year of investing, I bought shares in a few companies that paid dividends. It
