Preferring dividend stocks over total return has been debunked many times. It makes no financial sense.Great points being made. Thank you all.
I think I am going to revisit this thread in 3-5 years and see how I made out.
I am bullish on the USA.
I am not confident on how and when interest rates will change.
I know that I do not want to put long term money into intermediate or long bonds at current rates.
I agree with your reluctance on intermediate and long term US bonds. Long term rates will almost certainly rise as the supply of US government bonds will overwhelm the demand.
Since I personally have a need to protect myself against selling equities in a down market high quality short term nominal bonds or short term tips are what I will choose. Dividend paying stocks is not a substitute.
