Risk is a necessary evil to win good stock gains. When one withdrawals their annual 2.5% higher dividend, say from their John Deere Stock account, instead of reinvesting it, they eliminate the risk of losing some or all of that dividend. Given one is taking the risk, it is a small hedge against another crash. | |
