Hey, Zach here!

The market is in “extreme fear“ mode.

But how should the long-term dividend investor react?

Today, I’m going to share an important lesson from Warren Buffett about how to react to “Mr. Market“. This is a vital lesson that all investors should be reminded of.

On top of that, I’ll share all my research from this week. That includes analysis on top dividend stocks selling off and a report on how dividends payments keep growing, despite declining stock prices.

Let’s do this!

Today’s topics:

1. The “Mr. Market” Principle

2. My Weekly Stock Analysis (4 Deep Dives)

3. Dividend Raises This Week

4. My Activity (New Buys + Dividends Earned)

5. Full Walkthrough (DividendData.com)

Lesson of the Day

Embracing the Madness of Mr. Market

With the stock market selling off, it’s important to keep the right psychology as a long-term investor.

Imagine having a partner who’s a bit unpredictable—a “Mr. Market” who shows up every day with wild offers.

Sometimes he’s overly excited, other times downright pessimistic.

The trick?

Remembering that Mr. Market is there to serve you, not to advise you. 

This means that during a selloff, when Mr. Market is panicking and prices are tumbling, it's your chance to step in and buy quality businesses at a bargain.

Stay patient, do your homework, and let the market’s quirks work in your favor.
