That and I dollar cost average.
I also take the dividends on my stocks in their upper half of their 52 week high and reinvest dividends with stocks in their lower half.
Not sure if that's a good strategy but it makes sense to me.

Presidents influence the stock market and control the price of oil.
Distribution of Dividends, Capital Gains, Return of Capital. You buy Stocks for two reasons ... the Dividends (your cut of the Profits they make), and the Appreciation (the amount in Value they appreciate over what you originally bought them for).
Let's say you bought in at Obama DOW 18,000 ... you held on to it until Trump Dow 25,000. Besides making all those years of Dividend payments, you made money by selling an 'appreciated' Stock (Capital Gains).
Let's say you were Wall Street in 2009 and the Bush DOW was 6,000 ... and the US Government (led by Hank Paulson) handed you a Trillion dollars in Taxpayer money. Wouldn't that be Sweet?

Your quarterly dividends made little if any effect on the stock market returns this year. Its been dismal.
Just where did this trillion dollars magically appear from and where did it go?
1. I'll give you an example. Walmart. Good years, bad years, people keep shopping at Walmart. Walmart keeps making a Profit (the whole idea of having a Business). When Walmart makes money, the Shareholder makes money. Drive down the road, do you see Exxon, McDonalds, Home Depot? They all make money, the Shareholder gets a part of the action every time the Cash Register rings.
2. The Trillion dollars came from the Treasury of the US. It was loaned to Wall Street so the Economy wouldn't collapse. Like, if you bought Stock at DOW 6,000 then sold it at DOW 12,000 that would be like a 100% Profit, right? You could pay back the Loan and still have a Trillion dollars.

Hank Paulson
Henry Merritt "Hank" Paulson Jr. (born March 28, 1946) is an American banker who subsequently served as the 74th Secretary of the Treasury. Prior to his role in the Department of the Treasury, Paulson was the chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of Goldman Sachs. He is now a fellow at the Harris School of Public Policy Studies and the chairman of the Paulson Institute at the University of Chicago, which he founded in 2011 to promote sustainable economic growth and a cleaner environment around the world, with an initial focus on the United States and China.[1]"

You said your quarterly distribution was "great", If you spoke about dividends you got maybe 1%, based upon a stock paying a 4% dividend. Is that really "great"?
You aren't making very much sense.
Ha. Here, I'll leave you with a 'Rule of Thumb'. If your Investment makes 7% a year (and you reinvest) for 10 years, you will double your money.
So, the Market goes up and the Market goes down, but over the last 200 years the Market always ends up higher. It's predicated on MORE people buying MORE shit.
How is the DOW doing badly since Trumps election snowflake?
Wrong again; he never had it so good. The DOW is up 5,620 points since he left office. How is that bad moron?
Their stocks are up 5,620 since Obama left office and Obamunism has ended you willful idiot. Were you born retarded? Or do you just like to act like one?
