Customer comments on this selection.
 Worth your time especially now
Simply put, we are in a period where growth stocks are going to be hard to find and income should be a priority. I think this book will be good for novice and seasoned investor alike if you are not using dividends, you should be. Easily worth the money as both my wife and I read the book and recommended it to friends. It gives clear advice and tactics that anyone can use which is important in any investing book.
 Wordy, not easy to follow
This is the first book I've read in a long, long time that devotes itself entirely to dividend investing. I agree with the author, that dividends are too overlooked by most investors. The author presents a three-principle paradigm to dividend investment. He emphasizes the importance of patience, which is absolutely necessary because dividend investing is about income, not growth or fast (or even medium-speed) gains.
However, I find the book wordy and hard to follow. Usually after reading a few pages I begin to feel drowsy. (A good book to keep for sleepless nights!) Worse, the author does not present a ready-to-use cookbook for finding the "right" stocks; he does a slightly better job in describing how to construct a porfolio, but overall, you really will have to read the book several times, and TAKE NOTES, in order to decipher his methodology. Or, as he suggests multiple times, just subscribe to his monthly newsletter, for a fee, of course.
He also puts down income mutual funds, which I find both unnecessary and self-serving. I believe you can have a good dividend investing strategy with top-quality equity income funds -- I've done just that with my UTMA account.
In summary, if you have a lot of patience and are willing to live modestly, this book gives you motivation for a boring but steady investment strategy (as long as you don't fall asleep reading it). Given the economy is likely to worsen in the coming years, I think a lot of cautious investors should find the message here invaluable.
 HOLY GRAIL
I DO BELIEVE THAT JOSH PETERS HAS DISCOVERED THE HOLY GRAIL OF "HANDS ON" STOCK MARKET INVESTING ! I CAN'T THINK OF A BETTER WAY TO GET RICH SLOWLY THAN COMPOUNDING INCREASING DIVIDENDS OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS. WORKS LIKE MAGIC, ESPECIALLY IN RETIREMENT PLANS. LOTS OF FUN AND LESS STRESS.
TRY IT, YOU'LL LIKE IT !
Recommended
Solid, detailed analysis, which will help you to understand why you should have some degree of emphasis on dividend stocks in your portfolio. Written in an easy-to-read style and highly recommended.
Great dividend book
Nicely lays out the plays to find a money generating stock for the long haul. Very helpful in todays environment.
