Especially at a young age, your focus should be on growth and not on dividends. I'm not assuming that you want to use the dividends to live on today or tomorrow? Invest more in accumulating products instead of distributing ones.

@Aktienmasseur can you say that across the board? It also depends on the performance in combination with the dividend growth, doesn't it?

@fcsp Not across the board, but dividends are not additional free money and reduce the value of the company. In the long term, an accumulated product will also perform far better in terms of tax.

@Aktienmasseur But you can also reinvest the distributions yourself. In my opinion, this makes more sense than having to reallocate the tesau at some point...

@SAUgut77 and you don't have to sell any shares when you get older. That's also an advantage for me. You always keep your shares.

@Aktienmasseur Thank you for your opinion. May I ask why you then hold a lot of dividend stocks yourself and have set yourself a target of 1.4K dividends for 2024?

@mhu I was very convinced of dividends at the beginning of my time on the stock market. Since mid-2023, however, I've been asking myself the question "What's the point of dividends now if I'm not going to pay them out anyway?"

Since then, I've focused more on growth.

Nevertheless, my dividends are of course growing and I hold a large number of my stocks not because of the dividends, but because of the general growth and interest in the company.😎

@Til_S97 What kind of chatter? The fact is that stock picking rarely outperforms the market and dividends are not free money.

@Aktienmasseur in my opinion, the only one who is talking is you...sorry...but if he takes a well-positioned distributing all world or index etf, for example, he doesn't have to reallocate later, and payout+growth gives him the opportunity to reinvest payouts and savings plans depending on the weighting. And healthy dividends from a company do leave room for growth ☝️ ...but you already know that 😎

He can also use individual shares to either increase his weighting selectively or diversify stocks that are not covered. Here, too, dividends and re-invest are not a shame, so think about your advice 🫡

@Aktienmasseur How many companies can you think of off the top of your head that pay dividends and are still growing healthily?
