Book excerpt: What can you say about successful investing that hasn't been said before? How many different ways can you say buy good stocks cheap, diversify and control your emotions? "The Dick Davis Dividend" doesn't avoid these truisms but it adds others seldom discussed: the seldom acknowledge role of pure luck; the irrelevance of news; the under appreciated durability of major trends; the over exaggerated value of homework; the predisposition of investors to fail; and the curse of being totally and instantly informed. These are just a few of the strongly held, often unconventional views of a savvy 40 year veteran who speaks from a unique vantage point. Dick Davis is a pioneer in the financial media and has been talking to investors since 1965. He was the only employee of a member firm of the N.Y.S.E. to work full time broadcasting "in depth" market reports. He did so via radio, TV, a syndicated newspaper column and a newsletter ("The Dick Davis Digest" no longer affiliated).
