Dividend yield, unconventional use: Use it as a tool to take both trading and investing decisions in bearish and volatile markets

How do you make investment decisions in a volatile and correcting market? Now remember, when we say “investing decision”, we are not talking only about buying a stock. It is also about deciding when to sell the stock, or how long to hold it. Consider this scenario: Let’s say the market has been extremely volatile for 15 trading sessions, and whatever stock you might be holding would have seen some cut in price. Now, you have two options. One, buy more and act like an investor. Or two, sell the stock now, buy later, and act like a trader. Which decision would you opt for? Dividend yield could help you make the right decision.
