The Hidden Power of Rising Dividends; How to Produce Security, Income, and Growth
Greg Donaldson
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 changed his life and ultimately the lives of his clients. The Hidden Power of Rising Dividends follows Greg on a dramatic quest guided by wisdom and faith, to find the true value of a stock, using a simple but powerful strategy that teaches others how invest for the future. Part memoir, part financial advice, this book is a treatise on values, ethics, leadership and investment expertise for regular folks who hope to secure their financial futures.
