Daniel Peris makes an impressive case for investing in companies that share their profits with stockholders in the form of dividends. He supports his arguments with facts, yet does not go into so much technical detail that the average investor will be alienated. (Readers are called upon to understand the discount rate method of valuing stocks, but Peris explains the mathematics of this clearly, likening it to income from a rental property.) The most compelling point is that historically dividends have dominated shareholder returns, yet the investing media machines ignore this fact and push people to be stock traders, in part because this maximizes corporate profits at the expense of investors. If there were one book I would give to my children about investing this would be it because it is well documented with data, well written, succinct, and does not require a degree in finance to understand and enjoy.
