Welcome back to Dividend Talk – the go-to podcast for European investors passionate about dividend growth! In this episode, we dove into two hot topics that had us both thinking and laughing in equal measure.
📰 In the News: Geopolitics and Oil Stocks
We kicked off with a look at the recent tension between Iran and Israel and its ripple effect on oil stocks. Is this just another short-term event, or something with longer-term implications for our portfolios? We shared our takes and how we personally react to geopolitical noise as long-term dividend investors.
💡 Main Topic: Our Top Investment Mistakes
This was the real meat of the episode. We reflected on some of our biggest investing blunders – from classic anchor bias to chasing yield and ignoring quality. Each mistake came with a lesson learned. These weren’t just confessions; they were a chance to help others avoid the same traps. One of us even admitted to falling in love with a stock… sound familiar?
