How My Dividend Stocks Did in the Last 5 Bear Markets

In this episode, I’ll show you how my dividend stocks did over the last 5 bear markets to see if my passive income tickers actually outperformed when markets were crashing. I’ll then end things by comparing the total returns of the SP500 to gold over several timeframes, and I think you might be surprised at the findings.
