Today's show is all about DIVIDENDS! We cover:
What is a Dividend?
Dividends are cash payments. Simple math, not opinions or predictions.
Of all investment metrics, dividends alone stand the test of time for 200+ years.ANYbody can open their mailbox to hold in your hand a dividend to know what is real, not potentially a good idea. A dividend is clear evidence of what IS happening inside a business, not what anybody believes should happen.
All dividends are NOT the same.
We’re only interested in Quality Dividends that are Rising
Big dividend yield is often an even bigger red flag.
Where is it coming from and how safe is it? Top line, margins, debt, CASH
Size of a moat attracts the crowds; its direction is more important.
Dividend increases are the single best clue to improvement inside a business and how they believe long-term stakeholders should be treated.These debates miss the answer for the biggest question going forward – how to achieve growth OF income?! A rising dividend has an unparalleled track record.
If you’re eventually going to live off a nest egg, withdrawals are not income. Dividends are free cash flow, not relying on profits or pulling principle.
Dividends are NOT reserved for retirees – the earlier you start the bigger YOUR yield will be! Dividends do NOT have to be slow growth. Common misconception.
$100 in 1973 in S&P non-dividend payers grows to $1k. In dividend growers almost $14k.
