Investing is where you find a few great companies and then sit on your ass.
All sensible investing is value investing
In the long run, investing is not about markets at all. Investing is about enjoying the returns earned by businesses.
When you look at dividend returns on equities versus bond yields, to me it's a pretty easy decision to be heavily in equities.
Just invest in apps. Just download apps and then pay yourself the dividend.
I do not own a single security anywhere that doesn't pay a dividend, and I formed a mutual-fund company with that very simple philosophy.
The true investor... will do better if he forgets about the stock market and pays attention to his dividend returns and to the operation results of his companies.
Successful investing is about owning businesses and reaping the huge rewards provided by the dividends and earnings growth of our nation's - and, for that matter, the world's - corporations.
If you're an investor who wants a little bit more from the capital-appreciation side of things, but still likes this concept of getting 'paid by the company,' then we would tell that investor to pursue shareholder yield.
If you are an investor who's retired and hopes to live off the income that your portfolio is generating, then we would focus just on the dividend yield.
