Dividend Talk

Bitcoin is crashing, tech and SaaS stocks are under pressure, and social media is full of panic but dividend investors are staying calm.
In this episode, Derek and European DGI explain why this sell-off is sector-specific, not a market crash, and how dividend growth portfolios are holding up surprisingly well during volatility.
We discuss:
• Why Bitcoin’s drop doesn’t worry dividend investors• Sector rotation vs. real market crashes• What’s happening to tech, SaaS, and AI-exposed stocks• Dividend hikes and earnings updates• How to stay rational when markets get noisy
Companies discussed include Microsoft, Shell, Novo Nordisk, Merck, Brookfield Asset Management, Hershey, PepsiCo, and more.
We finish with a listener Q&A covering dividend cuts, price anchoring, currency risk, and investing during market drawdowns.
