Hi,
Peter Lynch wrote in One Up On Wall Street:
“Some people automatically sell the ‘winners’ – stocks that go up – and hold on to their ‘losers –stocks that go down – which is about as sensible as pulling out the flowers and watering the weeds.”
Warren Buffett expanded on the theme (crediting Lynch):
“In fact, when we own portions of outstanding businesses with outstanding managements, our favorite holding period is forever. We are just the opposite of those who hurry to sell and book profits when companies perform well but who tenaciously hang on to businesses that disappoint. Peter Lynch aptly likens such behavior to cutting the flowers and watering the weeds.”
The core idea behind the above quotes is that when a business is doing well, you should hold it.
Successful businesses grow.
And successful investors benefit from that growth.
That’s where dividend growth investing comes in...
By focusing on dividend growth, investors can filter out a great deal of market noise.
- Dividends are far less volatile than stock prices.
- Dividends also are a good proxy for underlying business growth over the long run.
- A business simply can’t pay rising dividends year-after-year if profits aren’t on a long-term upward trajectory.
At Sure Dividend, we buy stocks to benefit from rising dividend income over time.
The Sure Dividend Growth Newsletter is our most growth-focused newsletter.
We look for buy-and-hold (hopefully) forever stocks that show strong dividend growth.
Dividend growth stocks that are able to meaningfully raise their dividends year-after-year are like flowering plants that grow larger with more flowers over time.
And that brings us to the “weeds” in Lynch’s metaphor.
For dividend growth investors, the “weeds” are securities that are not paying rising dividends.
Dividends are either rising or they are not. There’s no ambiguity.
There’s no “seasonally adjusted dividends” or “dividends before interest and depreciation.”
And that makes dividends an ideal metric around which to base sell decisions.
We sell when a stock breaks its dividend growth streak, by either reducing its dividend or failing to increase it year-over-year.
Fortunately, we’ve had far more “flowers” than “weeds” in the Sure Dividend Growth Newsletter; we’ve had 7 sells out of 92 total recommendations (including securities acquired via spinoffs).
