Dealing with the Debt in Dave-Land - May 30, 2025

1 week ago | thebahnsengroup.com | David Bahnsen

Dear Valued Clients and Friends, Over the years, I have been asked many times to write a piece on what I would do to solve the debt crisis if I were “king for a day.” I write so much about the impact on economic growth that our burgeoning debt fiasco represents that I suppose it seems fair for me to transcend the analysis part of this and look at the solutions part (one of our very serious mantras at TBG is that our team is asked not to bring a complaint or concern unless they have also...

Dear Valued Clients and Friends – The markets rallied substantially today as the Friday threat of renewed tariffs with Europe was pushed aside on the Memorial Day holiday. Today’s is a pretty simple breakdown around the horn, so check it all out. Dividend Cafe on Friday looked at the new “big, beautiful” bill, the deficit implications, and the real truth about the bond market’s messaging. The written version is here (my favorite), the video is here, and the podcast is here.

The Big, not Beautiful National Debt - May 23, 2025

2 weeks ago | thebahnsengroup.com | David Bahnsen

Dear Valued Clients and Friends, After a long and painful session inside the Rules Committee, the House passed the “big, beautiful bill” the President has wanted this week, with only two Republican dissenters. The bill now goes to the Senate, where I actually think very few changes will take place, given the politics of the whole deal.

Dear Valued Clients and Friends – There is a lot of ground to cover today, and so I will leave you in suspense and not blow everything with an introductory paragraph that gives away the conclusion. Dividend Cafe looked at the investment success of Warren Buffett over 70+ adult years of investing and 94 years on planet earth (and counting) and considered five factors behind the success (some of which are not consensus views).
The Real Secrets to Warren Buffett’s Success - May 16, 2025

3 weeks ago | thebahnsengroup.com | David Bahnsen

Dear Valued Clients and Friends, I have been waiting for about eight weeks to do this – not write a Dividend Cafe about Warren Buffett, but to not write about tariffs. The fact of the matter is that these Dividend Cafes have been important, and I am not complaining about the tariff issue’s dominance. The infamous April 2 “Liberation Day” announcements necessitated obvious treatment, and I feel the Dividend Cafe did well in the tumult of that period.

SPECIAL EDITION: Four Major Stories - MONDAY - May 12, 2025

3 weeks ago | thebahnsengroup.com | David Bahnsen

Dear Valued Clients and Friends – I don’t really even know what to say about what today’s Dividend Cafe entails. I do not believe it is an exaggeration, at all, to say that there are four stories that each individually would represent one of the biggest news stories of the year, all playing out today. I have never had a more difficult time organizing a Monday Dividend Cafe, or even my own weekend and Monday reading and research, for that matter.
