Just because a company issues dividends doesn’t mean that it’s making profits … the two SHOULD be directly related, but often they are not:

1. Profits (better yet, free cash flow) are a function of a sound business model,

2. Dividends are at the whim of the board of directors.

So, why not go direct to the source: look for companies with a strong current and (expected) future cashflow, and take your money out when YOU need it, not when the board of directors says you can have it?

This is a great time to be a dividend investor. At some point in the future we will look back on today with either fond memories or regret.

Best Wishes,
