Summary
- Most investors know they're supposed to buy stocks low.
- Unfortunately, the superficially scary appearance of low stock prices holds people back from buying.
- Overweighting dividend stocks may provide an edge in the mental aspect of investing: focusing on yield lessens the importance of price movements.
- A great way to get started with dividend investing is through the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF.
- This fund has an above-average yield but focuses on dividend appreciation, so it avoids the mistake of chasing high yield.
