The dividend cut puts that process in motion, albeit with short term pain. Today's shareholders now own a cheaper company with better growth prospects and a stronger projected balance sheet.Dopamine Dividendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15132253802956286893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414709038022045736.post-36052931054280296712019-02-24T13:14:16.677-08:002019-02-24T13:14:16.677-08:00The importance of diversification indeed.

It is just under 1% of my overall portfolio and like you the cut sucks but is a non-event in the big scheme of things. Between other dividend raises and fresh capital being added the passive income stream should continue to grow. I never want any one position(s) of mine to be my main passive income source. I strive to spread my bets and make my dividend income as even keeled as possible because a cut from a single large position could be real trouble.DivHuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02437642929198374070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414709038022045736.post-5606090410404539972019-02-23T07:17:31.213-08:002019-02-23T07:17:31.213-08:00There are a lot of lessons to be learned with Kraf...There are a lot of lessons to be learned with Kraft here. You're right, it shows that brand presence alone can't carry a stock. I will evaluate more this weekend and read articles to see what lessons I need to take. But once again, there was one thing I saw in common with previous cuts....debt. High debt shouldn't necessarily preclude you from an investment in a company. However, it should raise some flags and cause you to perform additional digging to make sure you are comfortable with the investment. <br /><br />BertDividend Diplomatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14920248039296961145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414709038022045736.post-20700403017430179782019-02-23T01:05:59.142-08:002019-02-23T01:05:59.142-08:00KHC's dividend cut for me was nit a surprise. ...KHC's dividend cut for me was nit a surprise.
