EPS 251 | Lessons Learned from Dividend Investing Mistakes

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?

? Community Questions
As always, we answered listener questions. Topics included:

• What we’d do differently if we were starting today 
• The headache of US estate taxes for European investors
• Thoughts on how to allocate fresh capital in 2025
