Everything you need to know about dividend investing--what it is, why it works so well, how to make it work for you
Through a century-plus of stock crazes and crashes and in virtually every market environment, dividend-paying stocks have helped investors garner superior returns while dramatically reducing their risk. And with the 2003 tax law changes that reduced the tax rate on dividends, dividend investing now makes more sense than ever.
All About Dividend Investing explains how and why. This guidebook first outlines a step-by-step strategy for identifying underpriced dividend-paying companies, then shows you how to assemble the best of those companies into a reduced-risk, dividend-paying portfolio. From techniques for identifying top prospects to innovative stop-loss strategies designed to further reduce your investment risk, this back-to-the-basics book will provide you with the knowledge and tools you need to construct a sound, solid, and long-term successful dividend investing portfolio.
Whether you are a veteran stock market investor or a beginner, All About Dividend Investing provides the facts you need about:
