if dividendgang could do math they’d be very upset

A small lump sum about 10k. So please expect the market to crash and trade sideways for the next two years.

Oh yeah, I also singularly caused the recession between 2022~2024. You can thank me later.

May the Force be with you!

r/Boglememes in shambles. How will they come back from this?

(I prefer selling shares over dividends because then I choose when to have a fiscal event)

If 'it' doesn't pop in four years I'll be surprised.

If you believe in the efficient market hypothesis (which as a Boglehead, you do), you must also believe finding losing companies consistently is just as hard as consistently finding winners.

If you intentionally try to find and buy stocks of 30 "losers" but diversify across countries and industries, your returns will be very close to a world index fund but with slightly more volatility due to smaller number of companies held. However, you get to brag about investing in "losers" and still doing about the same as a world index fund
