I'm definitely not a market timer. You aren't either Jax.
But on several occasions when the broad market drops I have seen a gloat "the market is down but dividends are beautiful..." I'm not going to lie. It rubs me the wrong way. Certainly nothing personal but I could do without it. I mean as you said this thread has lived during a bull market. But you have been hush hush when the markets jump, which of course has been more often than not during a bull. I mean there are pros and cons to anything but with the way you paint the picture it is all roses.
If you are only focused on income stream then yeah, we are chasing different things. I'm focusing on making as much capital as I can, that can later (I know at less yield than if I had bought earlier) be transferred into an income earning stream as I desire.
