Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The Case for Dividend Growth
David L. Bahnsen · 2019
74/100
👍 Worth It
Bahnsen makes a genuinely clear case for buying quality companies that pay growing dividends instead of just white-knuckling a total-return portfolio through downturns. He backs it up with real history from the 2000 and 2008 crashes, which gives the argument weight instead of just vibes. Just know he runs a wealth-management firm built on this exact philosophy, so read it as a strong argument, not neutral research.
