KEK imagine living in middle America. Souless

>what is a truck stop port
You do realize these kinds of towns are all over the united states right?
It's just areas for truckers to stop sleep and eat.
Hell some of those gas stations got showers so the smelly fucks can wash up.
They are pretty comfy ngl.

FTFY

since fiat money is a joke, most companies focus on growth rather than dividend distribution
so p/e ratios stay high
a low p/e signals a stagnant company that has no more room for expansion
these are slow killers and the principal ends up devaluing so much that the high dividends don't cover for your losses

in summa: don't buy vodafone like schiff does

I bought some O stock today

Why are you so defensive?

Personally, I also find the burgerpunk aesthetic kind of comfy

>>54311115
It is comfy, I'm telling these foreign niggers who claim this is soulless because it's the only thing they can do to "attack" americans here.
you know the ESL faggots outnumber us 20:1 here right?
Nonstop ESL garbage bullshit on this gay fucking website.

depends. 2022 was probably a great year to hold divs since growth stocks tanked. I only started trading in 2017, but from that point to the end of 2020 or 2021, you;d make a much better in growth stocks. I think dividends are a better way to be able to live off of your investments, but until you have the capital to subsidize your lifestyle with dividends, its generally better to invest in growth stocks/ market etfs. my plan is to ride TQQQ up, swap that for QQQ or VOO at some point down the line for better wealth preservation, and then switch to dividends once I have enough capital

Yeah you're a europoor let's see your country nigger oh wait it's probably some desolate hellscape where you make 5k a year.
Europeans were a mistake

>>54311166
this is a valid strategy

>>54311166
aren't you going to pay capital gains tax on all the gains? i mean you might as well stick with one plan from the start. the good thing about dividends is that you don't have to sell the chicken when you retire, you can live off of the eggs. stocks that have a good dividend growth of 10%+ begin to snowball overtime with DRIP. I'm particularly interested in SCHD.

Middle America is the land between metro Areas Midwit

>>54311111
Checked.

>>54311655
no

>>54310840
Nope. Why? Because chances are the stock will have shit performance and you would have been better off with crypto. Plus chances are you get taxed on dividends as income too

>>54310840
reinvesting dividends in realty corp beat the S&P by several multiples
the dividends alone, not the price appreciation, earned the entire position size back 2x

>>54311166
I'm sinking heavy into dividends and using that dividend to buy growth to hedge my risk

>>54310840
there's some psychological benefit, but your returns will lag behind the market most likely

>>54311630
40% is pretty good anon, but i doubt that you can keep that up over the long term. teams of quants don't even beat the S&P over the long term
>only about 10% of actively managed funds have outperformed the S&P 500 over the past 15 years.
that number continues to drop in subsequent years as well. something like 2% will beat the S&P over 30 years iirc

It will take another 5-10 years before dumb midwit redditniggers realize that suburban sprawl and truck-stop/rest stop towns like OP's image are incredibly based

noooo you can't have a le heckin truck stop and a Hardee's! You need to be in City where you have nigger-filled Walgreen's with 90% of items behind glass cases! You need to ride your bicycle to a roach infested corner store/shitty immigrant restaurant where you can get Authentic City Goyslop!

it's such a fucking reddit opinion it actually hurts my head to think about, so many fucking stupid midwit millenials fall for this shit and move to Le Big City where they rent a 2 bedroom shitshack apartment until they have a midlife crisis and move to the suburbs

>>54313726
In the uk we have stabbings and child rapist immigrant gangs, oh and there was also a shooting in plymouth by a crazy chud. We've just got no rights in Europe lol.

>>54313700
You're telling me all the workers there commute the 2 hours from the nearest city every day?

>>54314340
You're such a fucking brainlet
Zoning laws exist, no one lives in the direct area where the two highways merge that only has gas/food/hotels they live outside that
Also, since the OP is the infamous Breezewood
>The Breezewood community is not incorporated under Pennsylvania law and is treated as a portion of East Providence Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania.
Their housing looks like this

>>54314567
Oh wow. I sure got told.

>>54311655
why do retards always fall for the bait of logistics hubs on highways for truckers being a condenced version of a city without niggers to be where middle america lives? all of that shit is put on the outskirt of highways to prevent outsiders venturing further into town.

>>54310840
Sweet home Pennsylvania.

Leftoid niggers seriously believe their Soilent and Funk Pops magically appear on store shelves through African voodoo rituals.

depends on how you view the argument. when a company is going to lower its market cap to distribute a dividend, there is no guarantee that their market cap is going to recover going forward unless you believe in an efficient market hypothesis, which many scholars dont believe to be true since people dont act rationally.

you as an investor can view receiving dividends as a somewhat positive thing since cash in the hand is a valuable thing, but the company that is issuing the dividends can actually be doing more harm to themselves than good, especially during down markets. if the overall goal of a company is to grow in profitability and market cap then continually slashing their marketcap to pay shareholders is not really a good thing.

look at companys that payout a steady dividend even though rough economic times. companies that pay out a high yield dividend like 3m, att, ibm have seen their market cap continually trend downward beyond what they paid out to investors. so basically these companies are just paying off investors and then not able to recover what they paid out going forward. depending on how you view the argument paying off investors every quarter or whatever isnt necessarily a good business model.

also keep in mind, depending which country you live in, it is very possible to be subjected to a double taxation when receiving any dividend payment. as the company would have reported that sum of money as a profit, and paid a tax on it in the first place, then paid it out to you, and then that capital gain is further taxed, even though it is the same source of profit. there could even possibly be a withholding tax too. dividends can be extremely tax inefficient if not monitored carefully.
