You people talk like all equity investments are paying 10% dividends each year.
No one said that. Get a grip.

People make constant references to all the dividend money missed out on by not being in the market for half of a year. You think they are talking about 1/2 of 1%? Of course not. You ain't smart enuff to get away with lying

If you think there are not gains to be made via dividends, then you are more ignorant than I thought. Meanwhile you conveniently ignore the bigger picture that is the bull market you missed and continue to miss.

Hey, dude who makes a habit of stealing handles, funny to see you here.
You're the same dude who is the fake K5 and the fake Bigfoot Investments. Even this handle (Pointing) is a stolen one.
What's the matter, don't have enough creativity to come up with your own handle? I know, it's pretty tough to think of a name. It takes at least two neurons.
Oh, you mean you could establish your own handle but you are just too chicken-shit to be accountable for your own words (even on an anonymous message board)?
Too funny. You are a special kind of coward.
Excellent use of the straw man, K5. You have learned your lesson well!

I do not think there are massive gains to be made in dividends in a six month period. One percent? Two percent? Not a factor

Dude, you could not possibly be more wrong.
But it was a nice try. I guess.

Massive? No. But given that you claimed investments of several hundred thousands of dollars, the half-year dividends would be in the thousands. Combine that with the power of reinvesting and compounding during a bull market, and you're looking at missing out on a five-figure sum.
And that's small potatos compared to the growth you missed by moving your monies out of equities in June.

Ummm...pretty sure that it is the percentage gain/loss that matters. If someone is worth millions they probably aren't overwhelmingly concerned about the loss of a few thousand.
But I guess that concept is a bit too advanced for someone who can't even come up with a name.

If someone is worth millions, then the loss would have been more than a few thousand. And K5 has said his investments totaled several hundred thousand, not millions.

No Sh*t. Hindsight is 20/20. But the "lost" dividends are inconsequential.

I was replying to K5. Was that not obvious to you, fake "Pointing Out the Obvious"?
Hey, K5, I haven't checked out this thread in awhile, so I don't know if you've already addressed this (if so, apologies). But I'm curious as to your plan for getting back in. Are you serious about the Dow going below 13,000 and do you plan to wait for that? Or are you looking at some other number, like perhaps a return to 15,000? And how long are you willing to wait...6 months, a year, longer? Thanks for any enlightenment you are willing to share.

It is not a matter of opinion. Dividends over a 6-7 month period cannot be more than 2% of the total investment.

Sure they can. I agree it's not common, but I hold at least one stock paying about 7%. Add in the effects of reinvesting and compounding, and you are talking about amounts that I don't consider to be inconsequential.

I'm not sure why you're whining about this. Remember it was your choice to pull your monies out of a bull market and put them into cash investments that you knew were paying next to nothing (and actually losing buying power). Blaming someone else for your mistake is not right. Man up, my friend.

Just how stupid are you?
They take away the usual option of getting a very safe 5% - 6% return for those who don't want to risk their dough in a speculation driven lottery after a lifetime of earning and saving and you don't see how this hurts us?
What happened to you? What did they do to you?

Well, I'm stupid enough to know that bigger returns come with greater risk. If you don't like risk, then don't expect much in the way of returns. That's just the way it works, my friend.
And I also know that higher returns on safe investments are typically accompanied by higher inflation which nullifies any increased buying power.

So they are screwing us with this no return on safe investments and you opine "That's just the way it works, my friend." You have the good slave mentality. Have you no pride, no self respect? Just pathetic to see how easily you adopt the mindset of the elites even while they screw you. Sickening really.
