In this post I like to blog about how I try to rise and maintain my conviction in dividend investing. When we talk about dividend, the play is about total returns of the stocks. Therefore, DPU + Capital Gain/Loss. What this mean is the measure of shareholder total returns in any of this forms. Realized gain is actually not so fruitful exercise other than incidental situation to rebalance the portfolio or when there is fundamental change in the company. If one do not have the main mindset of continuing run the dividend business through compounding the portfolio growth with long term skin in the game, this strategy will be painful to your Health. haha. So the first mindset is, we don't realised your capital gain or cut loss unless specific condition as mentioned is needed. Quality Companies come with a price. Reits performance come tie to Sponsor, Credibility, Capability and Business....
