So according to pic related, income stocks should be king. So why are they only recommended for retirement?
because they are clueless grandpas who are living in the last century.. Bitcoin is the path to early retirement

Ok, ignore the whole Bitcoin thing for a moment. My question was more around why people but growth stocks at all instead of just buying high income stocks and using that income to buy more stocks

well it's the price anon. a stock with low dividends will be less prohibitively priced in a bull market.
there is a very short time-frame amidst great market anxiety where you can actually buy dividend stocks at reasonable price. because every fucking body want's them and competes over them.

and also there is a possibility that a stock that doesn't pay much in dividends is a company that develops great and a few years later there will be very good dividends on it. it's a gamble with not actually bad chances. you have to understand that stocks are not strictly priced by their current value but by their expected value.
Because over the past several years people have been buying dividend stocks as a proxy for bonds, and trading bonds as a proxy for growth stocks.
Everyone, everywhere is clamoring for yield. This is an indication that we're in the final third of a bull market: the euphoria phase.

i agree, but this euphoria is artificially fueled by qe, and there is no telling how long they intend to push it on.
