The Strategic Dividend Investor

Daniel Peris Β· 2011
74/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Daniel Peris manages real institutional money and makes a well-supported case that dividends, not trading gains, drive most long-run returns. Bogleheads forum regulars pushed back on some of his claims and noticed a bit of a plug for his own fund, but the core thesis and historical grounding hold up well enough for Penny to call this one worth it.
