The Ownership Dividend
We are on the verge of a major paradigm shift for investors in the U.S. stock market. Dividend-focused stock investing has been receding in popularity for more than three decades in the U.S.; once the dominant investment style, it is now a boutique approach. That is about to change. The Ownership Dividend explains how and why the stock market drifted away from a mostly cash-based returns system to one almost completely driven by near-term share price movements. It details why the exceptional forces behind that shift—notably the 40-year drop in interest rates and the rise of buybacks—are now substantially exhausted. As a result, the U.S. market is poised for a return to the more typical b...

The Declaration of Dependence
When it comes to investing, its not all about earnings per share. Many investors pay just as muchif not moreattention to whether a company pays dividends, dividend yields, and how fast dividends are expected to grow. Whether youre an investor or corporate executive, its important to consider how dividend policy can inflate or deflate stock prices. This book provides valuable insights into how dividend payouts affect success. Topics include: origins and types of dividend payments; taxes as an influence on dividend payments; stockholder reactions to dividend omissions, initiations, and reductions; utilities and why they consistently pay high dividends. The author highlights how managers of larger, more mature firms establish a declaration of dependence between their firms and their investors. The payment of a regular dividend, which fluctuates much less than underlying earnings, is not required by law but can be a sacred compact among investors and managers. Take a key step in evaluating your company and/or investment portfolio and stay on track with The Declaration of Dependence: Dividends in the Twenty-First Century.

A Theory of the Firm
This collection examines the forces, both external and internal, that lead corporations to behave efficiently and to create wealth. Corporations vest control rights in shareholders, the author argues, because they are the constituency that bear business risk and therefore have the appropriate incentives to maximize corporate value. Assigning control to any other group would be tantamount to allowing that group to play poker with someone else's money, and would create inefficiencies. The implicit denial of this proposition is the fallacy of the so-called stakeholder theory of the corporation, which argues that corporations should be run in the interests of all stakeholders. This theory offers...
