Another Dividend Question!
DH and I are modeling how best to take our dividends from large dividend paying stocks in retirement. We will need them as income but the question is does it make more sense to keep reinvesting throughout the year and selling stock at the end of the year or take the dividends as cash. We will have a year's worth of income banked as an EF.
Pros, Cons, ?

First If you save up the dividends you can buy when the market is lower, most dividend paying stocks will sell at a premium on the day dividends are paid. This appears to be very obvious for dividend paying stock that pay on the 1st of each month.. It is quite nice to have a little cash to buy when everyone else is selling.. Rebalancing

Pro - Peace of mind Con - not maximizing results
When we retire we will be choosing the pro without a moment's regret.

I don't see the advantage of selling once a year. Won't you need the money throughout the year? I would just transfer a regular "paycheck" to yourself from the brokerage account roughly equal to your average monthly dividend payments.

I think this is part of the 50/50 rebalancing system with bonds and stocks... on average you get a larger increase in total but a lower beta..ie higher Sharpe index vs total return??? Yes; on average you sell stocks one time a year but the timing will be determinated by the market not the days of the month. I did my MBA with a nine stock system and one bond.. I think in retrospect 50 stocks would have been more of an average return but nine was a huge amount of numbers to work with. I think D.I. has a lot more to talk about the number of stocks. Just a thought, BiMetalAuPt
