Manchmal stolpere ich über Zeilen im Netz, die mir aber sowas von ausm Herzen sprechen ... wie jene jüngst bei SeekingAlpha eines Autors:
"The reason why I own a portfolio of dividend paying stocks, like MMM, is because I am pretty confident that I will have a continuously growing fountain of dividend income flowing into my accounts each month. I pay my bills using my dividends, and then with whatever is left over, I invest. I just bought some MMM last week with my savings last week, and when the end of the month comes,
I am desperately hoping that the stock will be lower because I know that I will have saved up a bit more dividend income by then and will have to find somewhere to invest it (and I'd rather pay less than pay more).
I will do the same thing next month, too, and the month after, and next year, next decade. I will be a net purchaser of shares for the rest of my entire life, so lower prices only help me get higher yields on my reinvestment dollars, which makes my income grow faster and leaves me with that much MORE I can invest each month. I am basically the financial equivalent of a malevolent virus.
Worth waiting for the price to fall? Why would I? When it comes to investing, I go with what I know (investing income to produce more income produces compound returns, which are nice) and ignore what I cannot know (future stock prices cannot be guessed, and people who try to do that usually get it wrong and lose money, which is not nice).
The answer to your age old question is this: don't rely on guesswork. Rely on the mathematics of compounding"
