Why Dividend Stocks Outperform During Market Volatility (Planning Made Simple)

This podcast with Paul Durso and Kyle Morgan focuses on why dividend stocks tend to outperform during market volatility, particularly in downturns. When the market crashes, many investors panic and make poor decisions due to emotional reactions. Dividend-paying stocks, especially "Dividend Aristocrats," are highlighted as being more stable and providing consistent returns even during market downturns, as seen during past crises like the dot-com bubble and the 2008 financial crisis. A key takeaway is that over time, dividend growers have outperformed both non-dividend stocks and broader market indices. The speakers caution against chasing high yields without proper research, emphasizing the importance of choosing quality dividend stocks for long-term growth and income stability.
