Description

The next time the stock market gets rattled, don't panic. Follow the dividends...

On October 19, 1987, the world watched in disbelief as stock exchanges across the globe began to plummet. As he witnessed millions of dollars drain from the portfolios his small investment firm managed, Greg Donaldson was flooded with uncertainty. Within hours, everything he thought he knew about investing quickly faded into the darkness of “Black Monday.”

But what he thought was the worst day of his professional life, unexpectedly became the greatest turning point of his career. During that fateful day, he received three phone calls that opened his eyes to a neglected method of valuing an investment. The Hidden Power of Rising Dividends follows Greg as he embarks on a quest guided by wisdom and faith, to find a stock’s true value using a simple but powerful strategy.

Donaldson’s timeless narrative is more than just a book on investing. It’s a personal journey, with engaging real-life anecdotes and dramatic insights that will both inform and entertain readers. The author eloquently weaves his discovery of a safe and financially rewarding investment strategy with the raw realities of building a trustworthy financial firm at the height of stock market hysteria. This story will inspire you to think about your own life in new and provocative ways…and teach you not only how to invest wisely but how to live life fully.

"When Donaldson describes Black Monday to open his work, what stands out most is that nearly 600 billion dollars were wiped off the US market in just one day.
