With a strong focus on dividends, you will underperform the market in the long term. Why do you want that?

I think this is due to the fact that I lost a lot of money when I started out. That's why I play it a little safe with the dividends.

After all, I don't just pull money out of my sleeve. 😂

Maybe I need to work on my own attitude again. But I think I'm on the right track.

@_ake_ Are you aware that you are even riskier with a pure value/dividend strategy than with a broad market ETF?
Value/dividend stocks in particular lose disproportionately in a crash because a high dividend yield is often a sign of a lack of prospects and high company risks.

I am fully aware that I am taking a very risky approach. I've had many of these shares for over 10 years and they really crashed during the coronavirus crisis.

Let's take $PFLT for example. It was down over 50% during the coronavirus crisis. I simply bought more and it didn't do any harm. Of course, things could have gone differently. But I have recouped the capital invested over the years through the dividend.

But I'm keeping a close eye on these shares. That's why I'm no longer saving in $PSEC.

But I will take another closer look and reorganize the portfolio.

@_ake_ So to summarize once again: you lost a lot of money at the beginning because you were risky and are now playing it safe by being very risky.

I don't understand, sorry. 🤷

I don't only have risky stocks that I hold and, as I have already written here, I will take a closer look at my portfolio and will then restructure it.

I have now received a lot of tips that I will be able to apply and implement.

I am of course also open to criticism and will also accept your criticism. 👌🏻👍🏻
