About this episode
Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/41vu6Qo It is the end of 2023 and we are entering the Christmas weekend. I am off to a land far away with my family and am looking forward to spending the holidays in the snow. The calendar year for markets still has a week to go (with the exception of Christmas Day on Monday), and by this time next week we will have brought 2023 to a close. I will avoid saying anything else due to the never-ending superstition that us money managers live with regarding our ability to make things worse by daring to say something prematurely. Let’s put it this way … I went to the Duke game at Madison Square Garden with my son on Wednesday night and Duke (my college basketball love since 1990) was up by 11 points with eight seconds to go. My 13-year old son was celebrating the win and I scolded him – “it’s not over, son!” You know – that famous 11-point play – what can I say. Better safe than sorry. Anyways, I thought it appropriate as we approach the end of the year to reaffirm some of the truly evergreen realities of dividend growth investing. Not only am I committed to dedicating one Dividend Cafe per quarter to this subject (minimally) but I also believe this final 2023 edition ought to address some really important realities in the present state of markets and our investing philosophy brought to life. It is incomprehensibly fun for me to write on this subject. This subject is embedded in my being. Links mentioned in this episode: TheDCToday.com DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
