Market crashing?
Dividend investors don’t panic.
Because people still buy:
🥤 Coke
🧴 Soap
⛽ Gasoline
🛒 Groceries
…and swipe their credit cards to do it.
Dividends keep flowing.

Dividend growth stocks don’t double overnight.
But every 3 months they pay you.
And every year they give you a raise.
Small steps → freedom.

Francois Rochon has a theory that the best investors are missing the "tribal gene" that makes them want to run with the crowd.
I don't know if it's a gene, but I know it's hard to be different, especially when it makes you look wrong, even if you're only wrong in the short-run.

In fact, big money is already moving in.
Activist investor Elliott just took a major stake in Rexford.
When Elliott shows up, it usually means value is about to be unlocked.

Remember NFTs?
In 2021, people paid millions for digital clipart rocks.
Today those rocks are down 90% and the market is a lot less active.
Exciting investing = regret.
