Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted September 6, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 6, 2018 Investing in high dividend stocks might be a wise investment strategy for someone his age but foolish for those in it for long term. I give you 4 examples of proof. Google, Berkshire, Facebook and Amazon. Now I'm not sure BH should really be in the group considering its price eliminates most investors.

I agree, not as bad as bonds, but still pretty dumb for the long haul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously institutional don't care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously institutional don't care I agree. I think its best for stocks to stay under $300 or so but its went up so fast not sure how that would have worked.

Sure but if they can't beat the index over the long haul (note most can't) they really offer no value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
