Despite finishing up more than 23% higher for the second year in a row, the S&P 500 has been weighed down by sell-offs amid thin volume trading as investors take profits before the new year. For many investors, that means selling their holdings and waiting for better opportunities. For me, this is a “buy-the-dip” moment, making it an ideal time to invest in discounted dividend stocks.
It's funny how stocks are the only thing the masses buy when prices are high and avoid when prices are depressed. Yet, we’re all happy to snag Black Friday deals on big-ticket items that start to depreciate the moment you load them in your car.
