Profit from the Profit: The Dividend Cafe Origin and the Case for Dividend Growth
Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/4cNKVg3
David Bahnsen hosts the Friday Dividend Cafe from Southern California and previews his new book, Profit from the Profit, releasing Tuesday, explaining it reflects the same message he has shared weekly since starting the commentary during the September 2008 financial crisis and later branding it Dividend Cafe in 2015. He outlines an investment philosophy focused on connecting client outcomes to real business profits and prioritizing what companies do over market sentiment, arguing dividend growth investing seeks sustainable returns from company cash flows and dividends rather than relying on investor psychology. Bahnsen explains why he discusses macro headlines even though he avoids frequent portfolio changes, emphasizing a bottom-up approach intended to be insulated from news. He recounts learning these lessons after the dot-com bust and highlights dividend growth’s withdrawal and accumulation benefits, with upcoming book topics including taxes, volatility, and how investors should profit from profits via durable dividends.
