Dividend investing provides a consistent income stream, beneficial for those seeking passive income, while growth stocks may require selling shares to realize gains. Seeking dividend income does not rule out focusing on the growth of the portfolio's nominal value, thanks to many funds that see their NAV grow over time. These securities offer a dual advantage: immediate returns through regular, periodic distributions, and capital appreciation through long-term NAV increase.

Large-caps are trading at a staggering 20.8x P/E, a dangerous valuation disconnect last seen in 2001. Without valuation expansion over the last 15 years, the S&P 500 would be 33% lower. Small and mid-caps are locked in at a historically reasonable and highly attractive 16x P/E.

Dividend strategies aim to generate steady streams of passive income over time. At the same time, they should not neglect capital growth, so demonstrating that dividend payouts do not erode their underlying value over the long term. A significant portion of my holdings currently show a positive NAV performance since their launch, which remains for me an equally important goal for the long run.

The Portfolio CEO: Treat your stock holdings like a business that produces recurring revenue for its only shareholder—you. FCF over EPS: Headline earnings are theoretical; free cash flow is the only true measure of investment strength. Time Value of Money: A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow—dividends capture that value immediately.

RVT thrived during the Dot-com bust, a period mirroring today's high-tech valuations and oil spikes. Small-caps are outperforming in 2026 as investors rotate out of expensive, over-concentrated mega-cap tech. Since its 1986 IPO, RVT has consistently beaten its benchmark on both NAV and price.

Mathematically, dividends are simply "realized" total return – cash that has already crossed the finish line. High-flyers trade on imagination and growth, while dividend stocks are anchored by reality. With the S&P 500 trading at P/E levels reminiscent of 2001, today's "outperformance" may simply be tomorrow's overvaluation.
