EP #265 | How to Prepare for a Market Crash as a Dividend Growth Investor | Co-hosted by Dividend Wave 🌊

Market crashes are part of investing, but how do dividend growth investors navigate them without losing sight of their long-term goals? In this episode, eDGI and Dividend Wave discuss the practical steps you can take to strengthen your portfolio, manage emotions, and keep your dividend income safe when markets tumble.

They cover strategies such as maintaining a watchlist of quality stocks, ensuring dividend safety, holding cash reserves, and focusing on companies with resilient business models. They also share our personal approaches to staying calm and even finding opportunities when volatility strikes.

Whether you’ve been through several bear markets or this could be your first, we hope that this conversation will help you feel more prepared and confident as a dividend growth investor.
