  • The High Dividend Stock Investor's Collapsing Dollar Survival Guide, Part 1 [View article]
    "HIGH YIELD STOCKS ARE A FORM OF CASH. THUS INFLATION EATS AWAY AT BOTH YIELD AND PRINCIPLE."

    This is historically simply not true. While the price of stocks during the onset of an inflationary period collapse (therefore making this a bad time to sell), earnings (and dividends) per share stay roughly the same.
    After inflation has gone, prices recover making an inflationary period a good time to buy! Plus you get paid a handsome dividend yield while-U-wait.

    Little Professor:
    you are talking present tense. In the future, as soon as credit recovers (and together with all the newly created money), we are going to have "too much money chasing too few goods" as the author suggests. So prepare yourself!
