Well, as a 60 yo looking at retirement in a couple of years, this scares the crap out of me!! Your premise was that we can protect ourselves by building an income stream using dividends. I have subscribed to your stack to learn about this. My question relates to how the scary charts that you shared look if the investor had been in dividend stocks during some of these downturns.

Great question. I’ve shared some examples of this in the past, but will be covering it more in the near future. Stay tuned!
