The beauty of the dividend.
I remember one poster here questioning whether or not "dividend investing" was just trendy --- or posted that perhaps it was even in a bubble....
I don't understand what's trendy about actually EARNING MONEY on your investments. SMH
A bubble is another question all together. That would happen if so many people bid up the prices of dividend stocks that they were paying unusually low dividend percentages vs the "market" rate on other investments. I'm positive that AT&T (T) paying 5% isn't out of line with other marketable investments - so I don't see any bubble forming in what I own..... LOL
