Greater Volatility & More Uncertainty: Monitoring Chevron and Clorox In The Dividend Mindset
A lot has happened in the span of a month, especially in regard to inflation, interest rates, and the Ukrainian War. These events have only added to the downward momentum of the stock market so far this year, painfully reminding investors that not every year can be like 2021.Last month we took an in-depth look at two investment ideas: Chevron and Clorox. Has the recent market volatility really changed the long-term prospects of these companies? It is never fun to watch your account value sink, but in this episode, Greg argues that only more opportunities have presented themselves. He also examines how to determine whether to buy, hold, or sell, when dividend growth is the key goal.
