I am always amazed at how Boglehacks just randomly accept a new strategy but continue to bash dividends.

For the last 5 years I’ve watched them jump on the TIPs ladder bandwagon. This was soon after factor investing and Dimensional Fund/Avantis funds were deemed ok; you don’t have to give up your Boglehead card if you do that.

Now, granted, it’s a better idea than BND, but that’s not the point.

TIPS are for inflation protection income.
Dividends growing 7-10% a year? Omg!! oh, the
taxes!

Meanwhile, trying to construct a 10 year TIPs ladder is kind of an adventure. In a taxable account, you also have “phantom income” for taxes.
I don’t remember Bogle talking about any of this.

It’s amusing, they want an inflation protected income stream but a stock raising its dividend for decades is an yucky icky thing.

I realize dividend stocks aren’t bonds but here lately its income streams, reinvesting distributions of BND, and its important we don’t have to sell shares to generate income 🤡

Woooooo

Not sure why we Boogertards are kept being called a cult, we are not !!!

🤡🤡

There you go folks, that's coming straight from the loser cult who keeps brigading our sub.
