Summary
We are living in interesting times for equity investors, and I have no reason to believe those times will get any less interesting any time soon.
But one thing I would love for clients of The Bahnsen Group, and to a lesser extent, all readers of the Dividend Cafe is for there to be an understanding of what equity investors are really after. We all know “buy low, sell high” – and I even wrote a book once on how I think investors ultimately best monetize their participation in the stock market.
But I think a little more understanding of what one is paying for when one buys a stock may be useful (which of course, also implies a definition for what they are selling when they sell one). And if I do this right, maybe, just maybe, we will gain a better understanding of how to navigate the next phase of markets. To that end, we work.

| 0:00.9 | Welcome to the Dividing Cafe weekly market commentary focused on dividends in your portfolio and dividends in your understanding of economic life. |
| 0:13.0 | Well, hello and welcome to another week of Dividend Cafe. |
| 0:16.9 | I am sitting in my house in Newport Beach, not recording the studio this morning because I'm getting ready to go teach |
| 0:25.0 | at the Christian High School that I helped to start, |
| 0:28.9 | which is right around the corner from my house. |
| 0:31.3 | I think some of you may have known I've been doing that this semester. |
| 0:34.6 | I've been teaching economics to upper classmen. And so I definitely think |
| 0:42.8 | that that has given me a whole new appreciation for talking about finance and economics and |
| 0:49.6 | so forth to clients and investors because it is much easier doing it to clients and investors than |
| 0:58.0 | it is 16 and 17 year old kids. |
| 1:01.4 | But anyways, I've been back and forth quite a bit lately. |
| 1:04.3 | I think I've recorded Dividendant Cafe at like five or six different spots so far this |
| 1:08.5 | year. |
| 1:10.3 | Last week, I know I was out of my house in the |
| 1:13.1 | Hamptons. And the week before that, I was at a hotel in Washington, D.C. And I've been in both |
| 1:17.8 | the New York and California studio. So, you know, we'll just keep the variety going with different |
| 1:23.9 | recording spots each week. But what we are doing this week is, I think, a very fun topic. |
| 1:29.4 | And I came down this morning to write Diving Cafe several hours before the market opened with no |
| 1:36.3 | idea what I was going to write about. And I had a few different ideas that I've been playing with |
| 1:42.4 | the last couple of days. But the reality is, um, sometimes I just kind of get started and then it goes where it goes. |
| 1:49.2 | And that was one of those days today. |
| 1:51.7 | I feel like there's a big need to revisit the kind of elementary subject of what it means to buy a stock price and what and how a stock price is valued to begin with. |
