The Case for Dividend Growth

Investing in a Post-Crisis World

By: David L. Bahnsen

Narrated by: Walter Dixon

Both the tech bubble burst of 2000 and the financial crisis of 2008 poked significant holes in the primary investment belief of too many investors today - that one can just blindly withdraw from principal, and that equity returns will keep up.

Too many investment advisors have taken the path of least resistance, not aware of the risk in systematically withdrawing from what, at times, will be a declining portfolio. Investors seeking to accumulate money for their future needs and investors needing to withdraw money now for a present need both have one thing in common: dividend growth investing represents a powerful weapon in the achievement of their objectives.

Market volatility is not something any investor can escape, but benefiting from it (for accumulators reinvesting dividends) and being insulated from it (for withdrawers taking only from a growing flow of dividend income) are achievable results for those who understand the time-tested, sustainable, intelligent strategy of investing that is dividend growth.

Fantastic

I loved the book. I thought it did a great job of laying out the reasoning for using dividend growth investing while not overstating what it is. I would highly recommend.

Great book!

Drives home the importance of having dividends in your portfolio. I will use what I learned in this book.

Incredible and Convincing Case

Thankful for the clear anthropological, mathematical and guideline case for dividend growth. Chapters 1, 10, and Summary, along with 3,4,5 for the argument, are all worth future reviews.

Foolproof way to get rich

I’ve done well buying David Bahsens stock picks over the years so when I found out he wrote a book it was a must read. More good advice on how to get rich and create generational wealth . (In time)

Excellent description of a smart way to invest

In this book David Bahnsen shows why you should not invest in the stock market as if you were playing the lottery. Rather, he makes the case that companies that care about growing their dividends year after year have the best interests in mind not only for their owners, but also for their companies - and the communities they serve. Companies that arrogantly hold onto too much profit end up wasting money. And amazingly, investing in these steady companies also creates the best return for long term investors and reduces volatility and the risk of removing your money from the stock market at the "wrong time." Incredibly educational and helpful in this new low-slow growth environment we've been in for the past 20+ years. I have wondered my entire adult life (basically post 9/11) why the stock market didn't seem to be doing what it had been doing leading up to the time I was in college, and why everything I learned there wasn't really panning out. Well, David Bahnsen explains it. Highly recommend.
