Is a stock market crash coming this year and should you start selling stocks? After more than 10 years as an investment analyst, I’ve learned to watch for the warning signs of stock market trouble and what to do before you lose money. See how my 2019 dividend portfolio is beating the market in this playlist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfw_QRYyGc0&list=PLjsZ3KrTlZowYHgm4XUlCfrhDCMmxSYs1&index=1
We’re just four months into our 2019 Stock Market Challenge portfolio and these dividend stocks are beating the market by nearly 10% with more upside on the way. The stock market is booming and the economy isn’t looking too bad. So why am I selling stocks?
In this video, I’m updating our dividend income portfolio with the two stocks I bought and the ones I sold over the last month. The portfolio pays a dividend yield over 4% and has produced double-digit returns already but it’s time to protect the money we made. It’s time to sell stocks.
Learn more about M1 Finance, the investing platform I’m using for our stock market challenge. M1 Finance is perfect for dividend investing because not only do you get no-fee investing but the platform allows retirement accounts that will save you thousands in taxes. https://mystockmarketbasics.com/joinm1finance
After updating you on our portfolio, I’ll share two warning signs I’ve found that spell trouble for stocks this year. I’m not saying a stock market crash is imminent but the data I’m looking at shows rough times even if it doesn’t. You need to be ready for whatever the stock market brings, and that means selling stocks to reposition in bonds and real estate.
I’ll tell you exactly when to sell stocks and how to avoid falling stock prices. Do not get caught on the wrong side of the stock market.
