August 19, 2024 – In today's Lifetime Planning episode, Financial Sense Newshour's Jim Puplava and Cris Sheridan discuss the importance of dividends when it comes to long-term investment performance. We also discuss how seasoned investors like Warren Buffett have made dividend investing a core part of their investment strategy for a variety of reasons, including reliable cash flows, resilience in volatile markets, and a robust hedge against inflationary pressures.
Drawing from the seminal work "Triumph of the Optimists," Jim sheds light on the historical significance of dividends in driving total returns, backed by concrete evidence of the compounding effect. Further enhancing the appeal of this strategy, are the nuanced tax advantages associated with dividend income. They reveal how savvy investors can leverage these benefits to achieve substantial tax savings and foster a long-term investment mindset, ultimately maximizing their financial potential.
