All about Dividend Investing

Great reading for the average investor who directs his/her's own investments and wants a solid foundation about dividends and how they work for you over time.

If you're fairly new to investing and have gone beyond mutual funds and dipped your toes into a pool of stocks, you're probably like most new investors... you picked a few growth stocks because those are the stocks that are exciting and sexy. I always wondered what a "Value" stock was and why anyone except our elder citizens would want dividend stocks in boring industries like utilities. This book will help open that world to you and give you some basic tools to start with in picking valuable, dividend producing stocks. It has actually made it exciting for me to search, pick, and buy those boring stocks! I'm still young and new to investing, and I found this book, and a few other "All About" books, to be my favorite. They're technical enough without being too technical. And broad enough to give you a general view from which you can then dig deeper.

This is a very good book, full of pratical advices. It is easy to read and understand. It's useful for planning a rational investment strategy. Recommended!

Don Schreiber makes a strong and persuasive argument for why any savvy investor needs to give attention to dividend investing. This book showed me exactly how I can be a savvier investor. Now I have a better grasp of the tax consequences and impact of inflation on my investments and how stocks with excellent dividends can shield me. This is an excellent primer for investors at every level.
