This book will help you figure out dividend investing even if you're feeling pretty clueless right now. I studied finance in school and this book was more helpful than anything I've ever studied before
Step by Step Dividend Investing will get you started with the basics of dividend investing and income stocks. It starts off with some really good historical information on how dividend stocks have beaten the stock market and reasons why they should continue do well. The three sections on dividend stocks, MLPs and REITs are a helpful guide to answer questions before starting investing.The investing strategy part of the book is well written and does a really good job of explaining why investing isn’t really about picking stocks but about your needs and goals. It first shows how to figure out your investing goals and risk tolerance before showing you how much dividend stocks or income stocks you might need. A strong start for any beginning investor and a few pointers for older investors as well.
Finally someone who mentions the importance of dividends when investing in other companies' equity. If you want to invest on the long term, then there is more to analyze than the price of a stock and the main thing I got from this book was to focus on the types of companies that - for one reason or another - skip investing most profits in growth and pay them to investors. That kind of insight is worth its weight in gold, literally.
I didn’t have to be sold on the upside to investing in dividend stocks but the book does a decent job of showing how dividends have beaten the stock market game for decades. I have read all four of the step by step investing books and this one is fits well with the investing strategy built in each. Even experienced investors will get something out of the MLP and real estate investment trust (REIT) chapters of the book.One of the most interesting parts of the book is that the investing strategy starts with your financial goals and then shows how to pick groups of dividend stocks, not just how to pick individual stocks. It makes investing easier when you focus first on the larger groups through mutual funds or ETFs and then only have to add a few individual stocks.Chat Conversation End
Good little book. I was at first disappointed - thin book, small pages, big type. I thought it couldn't say much but it hits the highlites and includes REITs and MLPs, which you don't find much material on unless you buy some text that puts you to sleep.
Growing up and even once I got into the world of finance, I always thought that dividends were for "old people." It has traditionally been the investing vehicle for reduced risk and thus a tool for those who are close to or already retired. What I loved about this book is that Mr. Hogue made me think otherwise. I hadn't really ever considered investing in MLPs or creating a dividend plan to produce cash for investing in other securities.Another great part about this book is the "step-by-step" method used. If you want to get started investing, it's always nice to have a guide. This is a great place to start.
Great introductory book for dividend investing. I read it in less than 3 hours, couldn't put it down (convinced my wife there is indeed something wrong with me). I learned of two different methods of dividend investing which I have put one into place within days of finishing the book. Not a complicated read so most anyone interested in their finances can read it and understand the principles. I highly recommend this book.
The book does a good job of laying the groundwork to a dividend investing strategy, why you need dividend stocks in your portfolio and what to look for in stock investments. The best part of the book though is in the two income investments MLPs and real estate stocks. The information on these two stock groups isn’t as easily found elsewhere so it’s pretty valuable to someone trying to diversify their portfolio into something other than just dividend stocks.The investing strategy helps to understand how much you need in retirement and how much risk you are able to take. These are both good concepts that you don’t get in most investing books. The book uses that information to show you what dividend stocks to buy and how to maintain your dividend investment. A complete strategy from start to finish.
