when you always remind yourself of the motivations behind your investments and buy on the cheap and have confidence in the companies for the long term... then it is easier to have that kind of conviction

You are my idol! I hope I can ramp up my portfolio fast when the opportunity comes and can start collecting dividends over the next few years! I'm hoarding cash now and trying to time the market to get a good entry point and high dividend yield (despite the saying time in market is better than timing the market). :s13:

Cost = 34,692.88, Current Value = 37,674.9
Day Change = +202.15 (+0.54%)
P&L = +2,982.02 (+8.60%)
P&L + Dividends = +11,038.89 (+31.82%)
P&L + Dividends + Closed = +13,129.93 (+37.85%)

Isn't the whole point of investing in dividend stocks is for long term accumulation (capital appreciation + dividend)?

If one were to take short term profit, why focus on dividend stock in the first place?? :s8:

I think generally what people do is they sell on separate interval.

Example you got 10k shares of CCT then u sell partial of it and get some profit.

Other than that, the best time to sell is when you need the money. There are other reasons i suppose. (E.g. fundamental change, etc)

Depend on your "goal" actually.
