D4L,

I’m also regularily pumping in (almost) all my cash in US stocks. My US portfolio is currently about -10% (excluding dividend payments, but including the sliding dollar), but I’m optimistic and believe this is a window of opportunity.

In the early 1990s, we experienced a severe financial crisis in Sweden (and elsewhere) and many stocks in the financial sector were ice cold. In retrospect, it proved to be a great moment to look for bargains…

BTW, your blog is great!

Best regards,

Carolus

I love it when you said dividends offer investors continuous feedbacks. It's so true. Typically with other strategies, you won't know if they're working until maybe 5 or 6 years in. With dividend investing, you're seeing positive reinforcements on every dividend increase. <br/><br/>FJ Great post. I love it when you said dividends offer investors continuous feedbacks.

Not necessarily for retirement purposes (although I’m in for the long haul); it’s a nice complement to handle everyday expenses (I guess I’m swearing in church here? ;-) )…

I’m currently building a portfolio of US stocks as the dollar is historically low (I live in Sweden) and many stocks are down due to the subprime crisis.

Swedish companies mainly pay dividends on an annual basis; it’s nice to add quarterly dividends to the pot! ;-)

If the dollar recovers, then I’ll de facto get additional dividend increases. As always, it can go the opposite way too…

Best regards,
