It could happen soon or after further significant gains. There is also no guarantee that an investor will successfully repurchase shares at a lower price.<br/><br/>Therefore, the fundamental question for investors is to define their primary goal.<br/><br/>If the objective is a reliable income stream, a diversified portfolio of dividend-paying stocks can deliver exactly that, with payments arriving regularly regardless of market volatility, eliminating the need for market timing.<br/><br/>Another critical, often overlooked point is that financially robust companies with strong cash flows not only maintain but often increase their dividends over time. DBS, for example, has raised its dividend significantly over the past five years.
