So much of it is based on hope and learning to be more selfsufficient. Rely more on yourselves and supporting family, friends, and the community.

Some really good points here… I’m glad you checked out the article to find a point that spoke to you when I missed or overlooked that point. The other or main point you make about dividend investing such that you don’t really worry so much about the price of the stock so long as the divy keeps paying is huge… pick large stable companies that can weather a storm and enjoy the dividends and leave the media drama for someone else.

Great points! Thanks for visiting, reading, and commenting! I hope to have you back!

I liked the one comment about divended investing being the only reason that ‘little’ people were in the market ‘back in the day’. That’s STILL the main reason that I’m in the market. None of my major stocks have cut their dividends to date. The money’s still coming in. Price of the shares only matter if I were to sell, and why would I if the cash cows are still mooing?

I was expecting at least one of the old geezers to say: ” Sonny, you call THIS a Depression?! You wouldn’t know a Depression if it but you on the a…. I’ll show YOU a Depression. Why, in my day they were jumping off the roofs …”

Even the Bad Old Days are usually the Good Old Days to our olders …. and, MUCH betters

Exactly… it’s like the idea of systems we’ve talked about… having a good one in place will allow you benefit over the long haul and not worry about the hiccups every once in a while.

Thanks for commenting!

Like Warren Buffet, these guys seem to have their foundations firmly planted in basic economic principles. When followed, sound economic principles should lead to good financial decisions...micro and macro decisions. So Buffet had a rough year last year, big deal...I bet his strategies come out on top 5 to 10 years down the road. Nice post Dave!

So true…. it’s like our parents suddenly get smart when we turn 20… no, that knowledge was always there it just took us so long to dial in our view on the world.

The funny thing, when you step back, is that these guys have been killing all along… they’ve been quietly beating the market for 60 years and are about as rich as you’d ever want to be… the trick is that they did it over time and that’s not sexy until one day it is.

Thanks Baker!
