Profit from the Profit: The Past, Present & Future of Dividend Growth Investing

Why profits--and what you do with them--define real investing.

Dividend growth investing is not merely a strategy for equity investors--it is a philosophy of ownership and a mentality. At its core, it brings to minority ownership of public equities the same business attitude that majority ownership of a private business involves: Profit is paramount, and those profits belong to the risk-takers who own the business.

Following up on his bestseller, The Case for Dividend Growth: Investing in a Post-Crisis World, David Bahnsen makes the case for dividend growth investing not merely as a superior method for generating income, growth, and growth of income, but as a superior philosophy of investing. He argues that many alternative forms of equity investing are better understood as speculation. He defends the past, present, and future of dividend growth investing as the best system he has encountered for accumulating capital, generating current income, preparing for future income, and seeing income grow regardless of underlying price volatility.

In short, Bahnsen makes the case that successful dividend growth investing is as basic as profiting from the profit. This book shows you why this works, how it works, and what is needed to make it all happen.
