I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

High Dividend Yield Stocks? - Part 2

High Dividend Yield Stocks?

How does the high yield came about?

1. The high yield came from the company paying 90% of its earning as stock dividends. With little retained earning, it is harder for the company to grow itself using internal resources.

2. The high yield came from the company paying out less than 60% of its earning as stock dividends. The company has retained some of its earning either as financial cushions or building up its internal resources for its future growth.

Do you prefer 1 or 2?

  1. I like no 2.

    Dividend stock is not really for me. I prefer the stock to rise instead

  2. Me too.

    Dr Michael Leong is a private investor who focuses on investing long term in selected stocks and shares has this advice in one of the chapters in his book: "Your First Million" on buying stocks based solely on "dividend yield" and he doesn't think that is the right way.

    Capital appreciation is far important than high dividend yield. Go and read this chapter to find out more.

    I also love dividend play stocks but I treat the dividend as safety net if the stock price falls temporary but not as a buying decision. Technically on chart-wise, I must see that the stock price has the probability of moving higher before considering it in the watch-list
