Dividends have little or nothing to do with whether a stock is a good buy. If a dividend is extremely high, it is probably not sustainable. Dividends can always be cut. The most important thing is the over-all market trend. The other main thing is earnings growth. If a company keeps increasing its earnings 25% every quarter, that stock will go up even if it pays no dividend, whereas a high-dividend stock that decreases its earnings every quarter is going to go down even in a good market.

Great post. I like the fact warren buffet actual tells it like it is. If you have most of your income in capital gains or dividends then you only pay 15% taxes while everyone else pays more than double. Yes he did noit plan on this he just woke up one day when the goverment decided they would tax people 15% on the gains and dividends and did not care that some people will only ever pay 15% while the rest pays more than double that.

Warren Buffet may be an investing guru, but he’s terrible when it comes to taxes — wants to raise them, particularly then death tax. Death should not be a taxable event.

Hey baldeagle, thanks for the comment. I hope you didn’t interpret my post as chastising rich people for paying a lower tax rate. I think that those who create value (i.e., entrepreneurs, business creators, and the Robert Kiyosaki’s and Warren Buffett’s of the word) deserve some benefit. Especially since they create jobs and drive the U.S economy. That is why the tax laws are written to encourage entrepreneurship and investment.

Paolo, thanks for the comment. Warren Buffett is the best investor in the world. He does what is called “value investing,” and his company has some of the highest-priced shares in the world.

And, yes, of course you can do a post about my site.

Thanks!

Hey zaki, what’s going on. Yes, the rich tend to pay a lower tax rate overall because they are not EMPLOYEES. Employees make money through earned income–the HIGHEST taxed income. Rich people don’t make their money through earned income; rather, they make their money through various other streams, like passive income, capital gains, profit distributions from business, dividents, etc. These other streams of income are taxed less. The tax laws teach us a valuable lesson: if you want to be rich, don’t be an employee.
