Fantastic insights

This book uncovers one of the most powerful investing techniques that no one seems to know - that investment in high dividend growth companies can be extremely profitable. The author explains why and gives some innovative insights into how to implement such a strategy. The book is worthwhile alone for the two tables that show examples of companies that meet the author's criteria. Based on this book I plan to expand my investments of this type.

The Best book on Dividend Investing

Sometime ago I bought and read following books on dividend investing: 1. Beating the S & P with Dividends, How to Build a Superior Portfolio of Dividend Yielding Stocks by Peter O'Shea and Jonathan Worrall 2. The Standard & Poor's Guide to Building Wealth with Dividend Stocks by Joseph R. Tigue 3. Dividend Growth Investment Strategy, How to keep your Retirement Income Doubling Every Five Years by RoxAnn Klugman, J.D. The above books are rather shallow in their treatment. Recently, I bought "The Ultimate Dividend Playbook" by Josh Peters. I have read a few chapters already and find it excellent: It deals with the why, how and what of dividend investing. It gives you the knowledge to be confident in dividend investing. I have already read the book "The Five Rules for Successful Stock Investing: Morningstar's Guide to Building Wealth and Winning in the Market" by Pat Dorsey, which is an excellent book on fundamentals of stock investing, and I recommend reading it first before reading the Dividend Playbook.

The Ultimate Dividend Playbook.Peters- Morningstar This is the most reveling read on dividends. What to do, how to do, and most important, when to do. First and foremost lay out a plan for your future investment strategy. If your stock is growing and the dividend is increasing rapidly, and the stock has a good continual good read in profit and growth, I normally re-invest my dividend for a year. If the stock begins to vasilate on a regular basis, I stop the re-investment and take the cash.Then if I know that the stock climb back up, I will use the cash dividend to buy more. If you notice when the dividend is re-invested, it normally is at a stocks high. This is a wonderful book for anyone that wants to take control of there investments.
