    Dankie Carla, This video could have a follow up that talks about dividends from a share sale cashflow draw perspective vs pure dividends as your cashflow. The video recommendation makes complete sense for younger investors who want to maximise growth. However, later in life dividends vs asset sale could have a different effect, like at retirement. Let’s say you need 7% to live off from $1000000. How do the math compare for the two paths? Is stock sale still the better option in that instance? All the best for 2025

  • @L2Living365
    @L2Living365 14 днів тому

    Sorry! It’s not an either /or decision. You need both! 1). Dividends are not taxed unless you’re in a brokerage account during the accumulation phase. 2). When you do start to pull out of your retirement accounts, you are taxed at 15% versus higher with capital gains. 3). In your later stages of retirement you never have to sell the shares of your dividend stocks, and you can leave those to generations to come! Dividend investing is a no-brainer!!! But you also need growth!!!

    • @timduffin5600
      @timduffin5600 13 днів тому

      Good call out of Opportunity Cost of Realized Gains, when you sell shares to generate cash in a rising market, you forgo future price appreciation and compounding potential of those shares. This is a form of opportunity cost. When you sell the growth fund, eventually you'll sell the last shares. With good dividend paying companies, you can keep generating dividends "forever". Not to mention, you sell more shares in a down trend and that hurts, a lot!

    The film explains dividend theory well enough, with numbers marching in like well-behaved soldiers. Very academic. Very proper. But it sees the world through a narrow keyhole. Still, it’s a keyhole worth peeking through. Open the door, step inside, and look around-just don’t forget to check what’s behind you, too.

      Agree, just because someone can use an example company that's equal to another company with $10 share prices, doesn't mean the market will do the same! The video is purely theoretical. It's not "wrong", it's just 1 of many possible outcomes.

    Dankie Carla, Always good advise. A question and possibly a topic for the next video as I am discussing this with a financial advisor this year. I have two retirement funds one a retirement annuity (RA) and the other an employer provident fund (PF). They are both at the same value roughly and I am about 10-15 years from semi-retirement, maybe earlier if all goes well. The RA has a higher fee structure of 1.8% compared to the PF but give you a annual tax benefit with a guaranteed annual return and a 3-year fund bonus if the fund performed well over a rolling window. The PF is a higher risk portfolio compared to the RA with a lower fee structure <1% and no tax benefits. How would you analyse these against each other to consider option at this stage in life. Thanks and all the best for 2025.
