This books is about dividend investing, and investing in for the long term. There are numerous of tools and websites (paid) that you can use to get better understanding on how to find good stocks to invest in.
This book is for beginners who want to learn more when it comes to Dividend investing. If you already have read the book The Intelligent Investor, than you’re already familiar with this type of investments; and you are looking for more in-depth information.
If you are just starting out to learn more about investing, like I do – than you will find this book helpful, because it offers a lot of useful resources that you can use in order to find good stocks. Of course, all the resources are paid ones, but you have to understand that good information cost money. And paying experts will always in the long run save you money, and make you more money.
The good paid resources are Morningstar, who offers analysis on good stocks to invest in. This book is also mentioned in The Intelligent Invest book; so, obviously you can’t go wrong with it.
This book is for beginners, like myself, who are looking to learn more when it comes to safe investing. This is long-term process, and in my opinion, I like this slow, long and safe journey, rather than risky one.
If you spend time looking different YouTube videos about stocks, reading through different blogs – than you’ve already heard “buy low, sell high” phrase, that got repeated all over so many times. But, nobody is telling you how to find good stocks that are worth paying for it. That’s why I like this book.
In my opinion, this book is for those who already have created a decent cash flow in their lives, and have spare money to invest it. If you don’t have enough money to start investing, than you have to find solution for that problem first. Although, you can invest received dividend back into stocks; but you’ll need to save enough money to begin with.
If you look on the brokers sites, every good broker request minimum of $2000 to start with. And I think that is better to go with know brokers, rather than those who don’t have minimum deposits. It’s important to start, and stay with good companies.
For those who are looking specific stocks to invest in, you might want to skip this book. Because there are no such information shared in this book.

Informational
The book has some good tips on investing in dividend stocks gets pretty technical about types of dividends. It also talks about the tax policy on different types of investments and which investments yield the best after tax return. The common speculative investor may not always take taxation of investment yields into account. There is also some blatant promotion of the author’s own online market service which turned me off whether it is a helpful service or not it is biased towards the service in the book. Overall, it was an informative read.

A lot of math. The book wasnt that long but it still felt long because the author just kept repeating himself. Some of the info could have been put front and center. Not the best of financial books, but due to its shortness it feels valid.

This book provides helpful tips on investing for the future, and having a stable income after retirements. I agree with author on most of what he mentioned in this book. Investing for the long run is easier than day trading, and can be done by anyone who can focus on the annual profits.

June 19, 2018If you plan to start dealing with dividend investing, this book is a good start. It’s written by a mater that made a lot of research on the topic.
You will learn about tools and trading strategies, advantages, taxes and the various types of dividend payments.
I have never considered such tools however you could consider the following lists :
Dividend Lists
S&P Dividend Aristocrats
NASDAQ Dividend Achievers Index
David Fish’s Dividend Champions List
Dividend Kings
