Strategic Dividend Investor
There's a big difference between investing in the stock market and investing in
companies through the stock market. The Strategic Dividend Investor shows you why, over
the long run, investing in companies with high and rising distributions is far superior to
"playing the market."
Responsible for $4.5 billion in dividend-anchored portfolios, Daniel Peris demonstrates
that, for most investors, buying a stock in the hope of making a quick buck by selling it
in a few weeks or months is far from the best way to create wealth. Instead, you should
use the stock market as a means of receiving a share of excess profits'dividends'from
corporations in which you own stock. Over time, those payments'and the growth of those
payments'represent the vast majority of stock market returns.
The Strategic Dividend Investor outlines the key issues you
need to address in order to create a solid dividend portfolio, including how to:
- View the stock market as a business venture rather than as a platform for speculation
- Strike the right balance between current yield and dividend growth
- Learn to assess the ability and inclination of a company to pay and increase its
dividends over time
The real key to mastering the stock market is to take the stock out of the equation and
treat your outlay as you would any other business investment'with an eye to the long term
and to cash returns.
By contrast, the "buy low, sell high, repeat frequently" philosophy foisted on
the investing public has been wrecking portfolios on Main Street for decades, all the
while generating big profits for Wall Street. But after a decade of mediocre returns from
the stock market'highlighted by two dramatic crashes'now is the time to refocus your
portfolio on dividends, and The Strategic Dividend Investor will show you how.
