Debunking Dividend Fallacies

February 19, 2016 By Lowell Herr

While I considered placing a reference to this dividend article in the Forum, I thought it sufficiently interesting to write a short blog on the subject.  Dividends Do Not Make Up The Majority Of Long-Term Total Returns is an old Seeking Alpha article that debunks what many Dividend Growth Investors (DGI) advocate.  While the article […]
