Dividend payments are a sign of company strength – Jack Brown [radio interview]

Covestor model manager Jack Brown of Laureola Asset Management Company was recently a guest on the radio show at HealthyLife.net’s News @ 7. Laureola manages covestor’s Dividend Payers model, which attempts to outperform by finding companies that are trading for less than the company is worth and by focusing on dividend payers.

In the interview embedded below (hit the play button to listen), Jack discusses the importance of dividends, stating that companies that share a significant portion of their earnings with owners tend to be good companies with a focus on total shareholder returns. Beyond dividends, Jack considers himself a value investor who focuses on the price relative to a calculated fair value (seeking a 50% discount).
