>>60680072I have an oil bias, as I charged up bigly during the covid crash, and I definitely enjoy my 10% divies at the price I got them. Why even buy bonds at this point.
But many other anons will tell you it's best to avoid divies stonks, and get growth ones instead. Still, when the market is in panic mode, it's nice to buy them cheap, as you'll see them acting like an unbeatable very high yield bonds when the market returns to normal.
But objectively, you'd have better returns over time just buying some growth stock when it's also in depressed territory. Yet, I think it's still nice to have 10 or 15% of your allocation in divies stocks. That's just me though, but I sleep better with them. And if you are prone to selling a stock too quickly (and always at the worst time), the divies always make you go "nah, I got them for cheap, the divy is nice, I'm still in the green with it, why even sell over that new -15% market drop" before pressing the sell button and stop you from making a mistake.
