Smart Investors Keep It Simple: Investing in dividend stocks for passive income

There may be some good information here, but the numerous typos and grammatical errors make it painful to read and obscure the meaning in places. Execution overall is very amateur - 8.5x11 sized paper like it was printed from a home printer, no page numbers, and multiple errors on each page detract heavily from the overall effectiveness and author credibility. "You can make money with stocks buy selling call options." "This is also were many wealthy individuals park their money." "The IRA and Roth IRA are both popular account that you can open..." "Let's now look at two companies I would refrain from invest in..." "They still have the same customer base that buys one bags." "The company ended up reinstated its dividend..." These are (obviously) not isolated examples - I literally just randomly opened the booklet and found them. There are multiple errors on every single page.

This book was really helpful in my attempt to start investing. There is so much information out there on different ways to invest it is overwhelming to a beginner. I put a couple hundred dollars in a brokerage account and just bought a few stocks based on the criteria in the book. Some of the stocks are up and some are down, but in the long run I expect all of them to gain in value. I also bought into a couple of stocks this book didn't recommend in risky areas for "fun" and watching those shoot around was very unpleasant for me and I worried about it all the time. I learned I am definitely a safe dividend investor and I am no longer tempted to gamble on growth stocks. Growth stocks are fine for some people, but I am not one of those people.I took the experiences from my first buy and edited the parameters the book sets out to better suit my investing style. I bought a second round of equities that met my more personalized style at better prices. My portfolio is at -5.41% right now with my dividends included. If I had just kept to the dividend investing style suggested in this book and that I am comfortable with I would be in the positive at 5.7% with my dividends included.This is a good starter book if you would like to get into dividend investing, but you will still have a lot to learn. The best way to do that is to jump in it so I would recommend reading this book and to start investing as soon as possible because time is money friend.

This book totally explains step by step how tell good stocks from trash, and how and where to find good companies. How to structure a winning portfolio of dividend paying stocks. I’ve wasted hundreds of dollars on tutorial videos and other books and didn’t learn half of what this book taught me. Finally learned how to analyze a stock the right way, and how to figure out what to do to know if a stock is one worth buying or one I’ll lose money on. I wish I read this book right from the start. I made $$$ in 1 day doing what this book teaches. The problem with other books is they teach for experienced beginners. Last time I checked a beginner is someone who has never done it before, ever!! This book is for someone who wants to learn how to invest the right way, who’s never invested a penny. It tells you how to do it without confusing you. I suggest you read it all the way thru and take notes then do what it tells you to do, how it tells you, and you’ll be on your way to living off your investments for the rest of your life. Wish I’d have found this book years ago. Review Sounds cheesy but is so true. You’ll be glad you bought it, especially if you bought another book on how to analyze stocks and got totally confused like I was. Thanks to the author, your a great explainer.H. Denis

The book, Smart Investors Keep It Simple: Creating Passive Income with dividend stocks by Giovanni Rigters, was an awesome read. I purchased this book from Amazon via Kindle. I usually have a challenging time with Kindle books because I love having books to take notes in and highlight important parts from the text; however, while reading this book via Kindle, I had no issues at all. I was intrigued with every page as they were filled with knowledge for those like myself interested in investing in stock and have no idea where to start first. This book is great for those who are interested in investing and need some guidance in getting started. Without giving away too much, I do want to share that Rigters gave insight on ways to diversify your stock, in-depth questions on what to ask yourself when researching and analyzing the stocks to add to your portfolio, high quality dividend paying companies and so much more. As many know, investing in stocks can be intimidating, especially for those who are new to the market. This book gave me the extra push I needed to know that I can be successful in this field. I give this book a 5 out of 5 due to the transparency that the author provided in this book. Although I have the Kindle copy, I will purchase 3 of these books. One to keep for myself and two to give away to someone who will benefit from this awesome resource.

This was an easy read and I now know more about buying stocks than I thought possible. Would have liked an index of abbreviations and their meanings so I don't have to flip back and forth to see what they mean, but I guess I will learn it better this way?Thanks for the information, it is truly a great way to learn. I am going to take all the advise you offered and buy my first stock (just one) as soon as I open an account. I will re-read this book and see about buying a few more shares. Rinse and repeat..I look forward to reading it again and perhaps I will find another of your books on Amazon.All n all, great book:)

This book is a good, knowledgeable one, that cuts through a lot of confusion and terms that bamboozled many. While if you are still short and can learn more via Investopedia, I have to say I really enjoyed this book. It's imperfect, but good. It's author, Giovanni Rigter, breaks much down in an awesome digestible way, that you'd wish you discovered this book before. Once you've read this book, it's good to perhaps also try an online investing course (such as over at Udemy.com), if you need to, or if your confident enough, jump into buying some shares in practice, via your phone/tablet/PC and a trading platform software or app. Forewarned is forearmed, as they say. Invest within your means, choose wisely & enjoy the long term benefits. Overall, this book is life changing for me, and I hope it will do the same for you. Be not a solo wage chaser, when you can comfortably invest in many wonderful companies, across many years ahead, and take life a little easier. Embrace investing, perhaps pay off your mortgage, faster, student debt, faster, healthcare and car, faster, possibly too. After that, it's all a good and fruitful life, ahead. Thank you, Giovanni for keeping it simple. I've purchased a few investing books and this book is a favorite. I'd also recommend Giovanni's Penny Stock For Beginners too, so more can level up on penny stocks, too. Multi income streams, for life! Buy this book, enjoy and take steps to positively change your life, today! And if anyone preaches to you, not to stack wealth in your favour, do well to ignore them and take care of you and yours. Have a nice day and pleasant, happy life.

The reading did meet my expectations

Some good information for a beginner to investing . Book was low quality lots of errors no page numbers , not layed out well. Would not recommend to anyone unless they are completely new to dividend investing.

Es un libro bastante indicado para gente no iniciada. Defiende la inversión en empresas con dividendos recurrentes, y explica con sencillez y claridad cómo hacerlo.

The theory of the book was useful.This book not at all apt for an Indian investor . Not much information
