Get Rich With Dividends: A Proven System for Earning Double-Digit Returns

Investing for Profit in Bad Times (and Good)
I bought this book a year ago, and read it at the same time I read "Income Investing Secrets" by Richard Stooker. I have not read anything that impacted my life so much since I read David Allen's "Getting Things Done" in the 1990s - and that book saved my sanity (if not my job)The Stooker book listed above, made a compelling argument for me for investing for income, but it suggests investing ETFs rather than individual securities. I found the math of this book, showing that dividends reinvested in good times and bad accelerate your returns, to be just what I was looking for. Even more, I could do the math to estimate the amount I would receive from my dividend investments 10, 15 or more years in the future.In addition to the arguments for relying on dividends paid, rather than on the financial statements reported by the company or relying on the opinions of experts as to the reason a stock is good or bad, this book provides specific information on finding good dividend-paying stocks based on the payout ratio and a company's long term history of dividend payments. As someone who was "investing" in the only funds my employer allowed during the market turmoil of 1987, the bubble of 2000ish, and the 2008 mortgage crisis, I am pleased to have a strategy that will keep me from panicking during such times. A strategy that will let me know that I am receiving the same (or an increasing) dividend as I did when the market was high, and those dividends are buying shares of a good company at a good price.To be fair to myself, investing this way was not really available in the past. When I saved for retirement through my plan at work, I was given a very few mutual funds to choose from and only allowed to change my investments once or twice a year (to teach me the value of investing I was told). But with discount brokers willing to reinvest dividends without charge, and with more liberal employer plans, I can do it now.I still have some funds that I use to try other ideas (trading or whatever), but most of my money is in stocks which have paid a stable, if not increasing, dividend for years. It is going to stay that way. If I look at, for instance, the Dogs of the Dow, I am not looking to see if they are beating the S&P year to date. I am not planning to buy in January and sell or rebalance next January. I am looking at the dividend of the companies whose yield has put them in the dog category, seeing if it has been paid for 25+ years, seeing if they have been raising it. Get Rich with Dividends changed the way I invest.

Good book - But
I have now read 4 or 5 books related to dividend investing and have implemented a system and have about 1/4 of my nest egg invested in dividend yielding stocks. I though that this book was the best of the ones I have bought because it does provide good detail and a plan or strategy for dividend investing.But - the authors numbers and 'double-digit' returns are based on dividends of 7% or so. A lot of the stocks he talks about are 2-4% dividend stocks, but when he provides his strategy he suggest dividends of 7% or more.Well, I'm here to tell you folks, the 7% or more dividend stocks are relatively few and the ones you find are mostly high risk. The big cap stocks, like Exxon, Conoco Phillips, Pfizer, Coca Cola, WalMart, etc. are generally in the 2-3% dividend range. When you screen for 7% dividend or greater stocks you begin to find much more risky stocks. Utility stocks (not so risky, but low growth) and mortgage REITs are the stocks you will find at 7% or more - generally. You will also find some like Pitney Bowes whose financials are a wreck.Almost all financial authors make their books out to be better than they are. Get rich quick by reading my book. You just need to temper your expectations and take the get rich part with a grain of salt.I do recommend this book.

Compound your invested money and retire without financial worry
This book is a must read for anybody who wants to provide for themselves during retirement years. Start as early as your can and let your money build itself into a retirement nest egg, or a college education for the grand kids.Wish I had read this book 20 years ago.

Starting out on the $best path.
I bought this book for myself first, then bought another copy for my grandson, who is just beginning to be interested in investments. It has a great deal of information that is worthwhile for anyone but, especially for a beginning investor, and offers online lists of dividend-paying companies. My own investment portfolio is small, but loaded with dividend companies (except for the occasional flier on some penny stocks!) I didn't know such lists existed, and mostly found them through trial and error.It tells you the kinds of dividend-pays to watch out for, as they could be signs that a company is in financial trouble, It does mention a few companies in passing, with links so that you can look them up if you want to, but mostly it tells you types, possible traps, and some kinds of obstacles you can avoid.I recommend this book for anyone who is not an expert

Get Rich with Dividends: A Proven System for Earning Double-Digit Returns...
The investing ideas in this book explain the one real fool-proof way to get rich in the stock market. Buy the very best, large American companies that have been around for a long time, that have international exposure and long histories of paying and growing their dividends, and, by using DRIPS to re-invest their dividends and by leaving them alone, compounding interest will make you rich. The slow -moving tortoise beats the fast-running rabbit every time. While owning these shares may not be exciting and may be about as much fun as as watching paint dry, they will generate true wealth. I wish I'd adopted this approach to investing 30 years ago. It's a "no-brainer."

Young people, take notice...
I've been an active investor and trader for about 10 years. Having studied and tried various strategies, I believe this one to be the surest and easiest way to make serious money over the long haul. Especially if you are young, this is the way to go.Instead of trying to find the "hot stock", the kind of companies Marc talks about are the ones most likely to be stable. What's so great about this system, is you can actually make more money if the stock market goes down!!! That's not a typo. The reason is as you reinvest dividends, you can acquire more shares if the share price goes down versus going up.How many stock systems will work in either an up or down stock market?Read it, and pass it along to your kids.

Get rich with Dividends ; A Proven System
i had hoped this would be an easier approach to investing. It has many helpful ideas and suggestions but needs a fair amount of persistent study -- nothing seems to be straight forward in the investing world. This book too needsa fair amount of study followed by practice.
