Welcome to Dividends Matter!
27 May 2007So to me dividends are important. Management, workers, the banks, the tax collectors, the community - everyone gets paid, even the board of directors. So why not also the shareholder? Dividends should rise as fast as the salary mass of the executive group - or, in fact, faster, since it is the shareholders who take all the financial risk!
This is a quote by Stephen Jarislowsky from his book “The Investment Zoo: Taming the Bulls and the Bears.”
I thought it would be appropriate to start my first post at Dividends Matter with a quote from Mr. Jarislowsky. Why you ask? Simple. I started my first post over at Investment Jungle with a quote from Mr. Jarislowsky as well!
When I originally started Investment Jungle, my goal was to develop an investing strategy by studying and understanding current investing strategies and techniques. And that led me initially into looking at value investing. I attempted to use some of the value investing techniques to find a wonderful dividend paying business selling at an attractive price. But you know what I found? This was a difficult task as the dividend yield will set a floor price for the dividend stock. So finding dividend paying stocks selling at 50 cents on the dollar is going to be near impossible to find.
Therefore, I decided to separate out the two investment styles and allow each to have their own blog.
Investment Jungle is dedicated to value investing and following the teachings of Warren Buffett, Benjamin Graham and Phil Town.
Dividends Matter will be dedicated to investing in high quality, dividend paying stocks that will help your portfolio generate steadily increasing cash flow.
My goals at Dividends Matter are simple:
- Develop my own strategy for finding high quality, dividend paying stocks by analyzing current investment techniques;
- Publish my findings with my readership to stimulate discussion and learning;
- Use this strategy to enhance my own wealth as well as yours.
I hope that you will learn as much from me as I will from you. Your contribution is essential and I look forward to lively discussions.
