Dividend Cafe is the place to come for a caffeinated stroll through our investment brain. We combine weekly ad hoc market perspective with evergreen truths and principles, covering a wide array of topics from macroeconomic to vanilla asset allocation. We want it to be readable for people of all levels of investor sophistication, and, most importantly, want it to be an authentic reflection of what we believe. The regurgitation of other’s investment perspective can be found anywhere. The Dividend Cafe is our material, for good or for bad.
