Dividend Growth Investing: Get a Steady 8% Per Year Even in a Zero Interest Rate World - Featuring The 13 Best High Yield Stocks, REITs, MLPs and CEFs For Retirement Income
Why should you settle for 0.01% interest in a savings account?Or be OK with a treasury bill which pays less than 2% per year?
Back in 1990, you could have retired comfortably with a nest egg of $500,000.
All you had to do was invest that money into a Treasury Bill, and you would have earned a steady 8% every year.
That’s $40,000 deposited into your account every single year from what most experts would consider the world’s most stable investment.
These days, if you invest $500,000 into the same Treasury Bill, you won’t be getting 8% per year, nowhere near that.
In 2020, a Treasury Bill paid just 1.25% every year.
That’s just $6,250 income per year on a $500,000 investment.
And you can’t live anywhere in the US, UK or Canada on $6,250 per year.
So what to do instead?
This book will not only show you why you can’t rely on government bonds for your retirement.
It will also show you exactly what to do instead ( It doesn’t involve relying on social security)
Here’s just a fraction of what you’ll learn
How to get rich in real estate, without owning any properties – Page 123The “yield trap” how to avoid bad value dividend stocks – Page 68Get in before March 29th to profit from this “tollbooth” oil opportunity. This company’s business models thrives even if oil prices are less than $10 a barrel – Page 137Better than Tesla? This renewable energy company is booming right now, and continues to reward investor with large distributions – Page 138Instead of paying $3,200 for a single share of Amazon. You can invest in Amazon’s Landlord for just $30 a share – Page 124Great dividend stock or yield trap? Our honest thoughts on AT&T – Page 115Forget Johnson & Johnson, this dividend stock could easily bring you an extra $100/month – Page 110The little known 1986 tax reform which makes these companies fantastic dividend opportunies – Page 130How to buy the best bond funds in the world (which outperformed the S&P 500 by 3:1) without paying their hefty management fee. This sounds impossible but anyone can do it using a normal brokerage account – Page 142The best monthly paying dividend company. We narrowed it down from 56 and this little known San Diego corporation will send you dividends every single month – Page 126…and much, much more!

This is not a 600 page text book which you need an MBA to understand. Written in plain English and free from repetitive technical jargon.
Every single piece of financial terminology is clearly defined inside.
You’ll find easy-to-follow advice in how to develop your own process for analyzing companies. As well as concrete examples of everything we teach.

A book for long term life investment
As per previous books from Freeman publications, an amazing layered out book.
It is not a book for speculators, day trade, swing traders and similar, it is in fact for long term investments.
I really like it because how thorough Oliver and his team are when preparing these materials.
Don’t get me wrong, I like short term investments too, I like the high-risk side of money too, but as the classic phrase people says “don’t place all your eggs in one single basket” this is something you would like for the portion of money you want to place under the less risk side.
There are thousands of books and YouTube videos out there and this goes in a totally different approach, and I do really like and appreciate all that is says here.
Thank you once again for sharing great content here.

Using this books principles to invest some of my biz sale proceeds.
I recently sold my company and decided that since I’m no expert in investing, to read several investing books and incorporate the recommendations of four books to setup four investing “buckets” in my brokerage account.
This book was very easy to follow, and I have decided to use it as a model to build one of my buckets. I’m excited to get started, and have much more confidence and direction than I did before reading this book.
There’s also a several useful links to use the authors research tools, and to email his team questions.
I highly recommend reading this if you’re interested in learning more about dividend investing.

An OK book but a little short on information and details I thought. Don’t get me wrong. I like a short and to-the-point book, as I have limited time for reading and a short attention span. I just walked away from this one feeling both intrigued but also a little confused and unsure about what to do with my limited funds for investment.

Good introduction for newbies like me
I just wanted to learn the basics about dividends and this book was very helpful.
While i may not follow all the advice, it’s enough to teach me how to get started.

This book is a good place to start
This book gives a pretty good summary for a lot of aspects of dividend growth investing. I especially appreciated the chapter on MLPs and their tax implications.

This was a great intro book to look at dividend investing. I have read other books on investing, but never one focused on the dividend aspect. This was a good way to get new ideas on things to think about.

Workable strategies
I enjoyed the section on taxation of dividends. Because most people don’t understand how ordinary/qualified dividends are treated for tax purposes. This is a book for the novice/intermediate investor that’s looking to buy income producing assets.

Investing in ETF's and high yield dividend classes. While it offered fairly current information on conditions in the market and the world, it was neither ground breaking or brought much new to the table but still an informative read.

El libro desgrana las bondades de la inversión en dividendos crecientes de manera clara y razonada. El problema viene cuando para la selección de compañías expone que hay que fijarse en el payout y en el historial de dividendos. Y eso es todo. Ese aspecto es demasiado básico y sencillo.
