In my opinion, due to the volatility of stock market prices (the rise and fall of stock prices), an investment plan should incorporate both the traits of stick-to-itiveness and common sense, and must have an advantageous, predetermined approach for maximizing each investment in the stock market.
Stick-to-itiveness and common sense ? oh, what powerful weapons they are when used for a long-term investment plan in the stock market! They mean making the common sense and advantages decision to:
? Purchase only those companies that have long-term histories of raising their dividend every year.
? Having the dividends from those companies reinvested back into more shares every quarter.
? Allowing that income from each investment to continue growing every week, every month, year after year, not caring if your stocks are going up or down.
? To enhance the return on investment by having the flexibility and adaptability to take advantage of the rising and falling of stock market prices
? Watching the power of stick-to-itiveness and common sense in action. The only thought, or possible concern? ? Why didn't I do this 20 years ago?
? Taking advantage of stock market volatility to increase the already ever-increasing income from each and every stock market investment.
? Having a stock market investment plan that understands that in the stock market there are always gains and always losses, and using the losses only to accelerate the ever-increasing dividend income. Building a foundation of ownership in only those companies that are strong enough to raise their dividend year after year.
The above are components of what is really a simple and common sense approach to investing in the stock market that I discuss in my book The Stockopoly Plan- Investing for Retirement. Apply simple common sense, stick to it ? and then watch the plan perform its magic: financial peace of mind!
