Big money is not in the buying or selling, but in the waiting.
For my own portfolio, I like to find ASX shares that are growing their dividends. Growth is an essential part of the dividend equation for me. I want to see that the dividend increases are funded by growing earnings and/or growing underlying asset values. I also have a portion of my portfolio invested in an ETF that picks undervalued global businesses with strong competitive advantages.
For Rask Media, I have an interest in covering technology (and tech-related) businesses with a global growth story, as well as cyclical companies that are cheaply priced because they’re at a low point in the cycle, such as retailers and resource businesses which could benefit strongly in the medium-term.

At times of great ASX share market distress, it can be difficult to stay invested. I’m going to highlight two investments which could make it easier to stay invested through market volatility.
The Pinnacle Investment Management Group Ltd (ASX:PNI) share price is up approximately 2% after a Metrics investment.
VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX:MOAT) is a great exchange-traded fund (ETF) in my opinion. The decline looks like a buying opportunity.
ASX dividend shares can be appealing investments at any point of a market cycle. They can be particularly attractive during a market selldown.
There are so many ASX share opportunities out there with the market going through a significant decline as tariff fears increase.
The Polynovo Ltd (ASX:PNV) share price is down more than 9% after announcing there would be an immediate CEO change.
