Product Description
Product Description
Smart investors know that the safest way to build wealth is to buy stocks that consistently pay dividends. Now Standard & Poo's the nation's leading securities information company, has distilled this sound investment philosophy in "The dividend rich investor". This user-friendly guide: shows why dividends are important part of the investment equation; tells what to look for in a dividend-paying stock; provides a valuable list of stocks showing dividend leaders; and includes a free trial subscription to The outlook, S&P's weekly investment newsletter.#FDEIn addition, insider interviews with famous investors who use dividends-based stock picking, corroborate the book's prudent investing philosophy that the tortoise investor (seeking total return, the combination of dividends and appreciation) will beat the hare (aggressive growth) investor over time.

Best investment advice
21 Jan 2000
Format:Paperback
The dividend investing approach illustrated in this book is perhaps the most under-rated, under-promoted investment strategy. It's not as exciting as investing in internet stocks, but it's very easy to implement and it can create an amazing income for life. I especially recommend this book for young investors.

Highly recommended for beginners
17 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
It's not exactly the most glamorous way to invest in stocks, but selecting good quality dividend paying stocks is a great way to earn passive income over a long period of time.
This book contained a few lists of stocks with average yields and so forth which I found helpful, but the sheer amount of numbers became mind numbing at times. Overall, I found some really good information in here about how to select reliable dividend paying stocks and which ones to avoid. Some of the issues covered were companies that regularly increase their dividend yield, how to aggressively buy stocks in companies which have actually cut their dividend recently. I was surprised that the authors advocated buying stocks with low, but increasing yields. After reading that chapter, I can see their point. If you want to chase high growth, high paying stocks, don't go for dividend paying stocks.
I'm giving this book 4 stars because I think it provides much valuable, but basic, information. This book will only appeal to novice or beginning investors who know little or nothing about dividend paying stocks. If you're more of an advanced investor who likes buying high flying Internet stocks, you can skip this book. Dividend investing is a very conservative, long term investment method, and if that's what you're looking for, by all means buy this book.

Dividends, the key to investing success..
3 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback
This is a very good book, and simple to read for even novice investors. A note, the entire book deals only with US listed stocks, so, to buy any of the stocks listed here, you need a broker with access to US markets.
The book covers compounding of dividends, a very, very important subject. It also warns about selecting stocks with yields that are too high, and unlikely to be maintained, or stocks which have a high yield, but are cyclical.
This is a very good book, for anyone, who might be considering thier retirement investment strategy.
A word of warning: This book is not about returns of 2000% per annum. Dividends are dull and boring. But, they make a good basis for investment.
