Dec 03, 2013 عبدالله rated it it was ok

This is one of the books I wanted to give a higher rating but I could not. The idea behind the book is a good one. The author has a good ability to simplify things which is a good thing but not always. Some topics should have been tackled deeper than he did. He repeats him self over and over, sometimes in a useful manner and sometimes not at all.

It is more like a pocket book than a regular text book (nothing wrong with pocket books). Some chapters are not - really - related to the topic of the book. I would not recommend this book to be read alone and definitely not to count on alone because it is - simply - not enough. I recommend this book to traders and investors not convinced to put their money in dividend companies, or people who want to be rich in a blink of an eye (to convince them that it is not possible).

I like the spirit and the passion of the author about his strategy. The book in some parts would deserve a 5 out 5 rating and in some parts would not even deserve 2 out 5.

P.s. I just finished the "Intelligent Investor" of the legendary B. Graham and rated it 5 out 5. So, maybe the standards went too high; that I gave this book 2 out 5.

Anyway, if investing in stock market is a major thing in your life; then go read the book; it is worth it then.

Wow! great read. Funny and engaging with a logical progression for how much it was just lists of numbers. I loved how he walked you through the "why" of his system and let you into all the nuances of his decisions. I'd love to read some other perspectives to gauge how valid of an opinion this book has, but it seems pretty legit. Wow! great read.

I wasn't completely sold on dividends being new to investing but with his explanations they make sense as to why you would want to hop on these asap.

From a beginners perspective its almost like..."why would invest 10K to get 35 dollars back?" Its sounds like waste of time but with the snowball effect and also taking into consideration that the stocks themselves could potentially grow then it makes sense.

Time to start chipping away.

As a book, this wasn't very good. Despite its short length, it still did not contain enough information to fill it, and at times, I felt the author was trying to make his case in the least intuitive way possible.

The content, however, was a little better, but I've begun to have my doubts. Basically, he argues that you should invest in companies for their dividends, which seems like good advice. To be more precise, focus on companies that have a history of raising dividends by 10% and yield 4%.

It'

It's hard to believe that any company can sustain 10% dividend increases for very long. So that prescription doesn't seem very likely to me, but like I said in an earlier review, I'm no investment expert. Maybe it's doable. I guess I'll find out when I try to do it myself.

By the way, if you can find a stock that increases its dividends 10%/yr and yields 4%, and you reinvest the dividends, I'd be very happy to invest in it.

I read many of the reviews for Get Rich with Dividends; they were generally poor. However, I thought the book was excellent. Why? Most people do not realize the long-term impact of "double-compounding": 1) the compounding of dividend income through auto reinvestment; and 2) the growth in the dividend rate itself. Put both together and in 10 years the return on your original investment is significant....with relatively low risk. Yes....the title may have a hint of sensationalism.

This book was going good until the author started talking trading options which was very puzzling.

Great book for beginners. Some things went over my head, but overall I found this book very informative and helpful. I now feel confident about building a portfolio of dividend paying stocks.

And easy 4.5 but not five do too the information is not timeless and also the repetitiveness of it. Alot if itit is already out of date.

This is an awsome book. A good way to start a plan to invest and invest confidently. I am going to follow these steps and see where they take me. Used along with rich dad poor dad and the intelligent investor is very awsome. Packed full with knowledge and know how. A book i am going to use alot of what it says. Even unexpectedly goes into options woth proper warnings. A few prombkems i gave is the constent reputation which maybe need for some but not for most. The resder sshould understand the power of compounding after the first chapter but yet it goes on and on and on about it. It could and should have been about 40 pages shorter.

The road map i needed to start confidently investing. The intelligent investor is way more information packed but this i feel more clearly and concisely where to take it. A diffrent more passive attempt at it. A much littler package and easier to understand then intelligent investor. A book i will pass down to my kids.

This book will surely be extremely useful for beginners in the stock market.

I liked how this book is a "what's what" of the investing world, although talk about what qualities to look for in dividend stocks are sprinkled throughout the book a lot of this book just talks about things that aren't super related to dividend long term investing, namely, day trading which has an entire chapter dedicated to the topic. Easy read though, I didn't mind the casual attitude of the book and the jokes.

Even as a new investor I found the book a bit repetitive, but I'm sure the author had a page count they had to reach for publication. I can't be mad though because the strategies in the book seem (to my inexperienced eye) to make fiscal sense and I'll be using the author's system to get started on building my IRA portfolio. If I make a nice profit I'll forgive the author his repetition entirely and come back to give it 5 stars.

If you think 10 years is a long time to change your financial life you need to read this book. If you think that the companies around you that your pay the bills to each month out of your hard earned money are useless money grabs you need to read this book. If you want to be financial independent and legitimately quit the rat-race and sit back and live off your hard earned savings you need to read this book.

Recommends it for: Dividend beginners

I recommend this book to people not familiar with dividend investing. It starts of explaining different topics relevant to dividend investing, and he makes the case of how it has worked in the past. What it missed is how to pick those companies who can sustain a longterm increase in dividends, which was what i was looking for.

Awesome book and a life changing concept. Some find investing too confusing and others are chasing the next Amazon or Netflix. This is the smart way to invest. You can reach retirement and life off the dividends without having to touch the principal.

Good read

This book has extensive information on dividend stock selection and advantages. I like the fact it touches selling options as well

Entertaining and informative. It's provided me with some good ideas.

Comprehensive guide to understand the power of dividends stock portfolio.

Oct 30, 2020 Mark Melendez rated it really liked it

A great approach to making steady and safe returns. A solid approach to get started with.

That man is a snake oil salesman.
He recommends stock picking, while acknowledging at the same time that: 1. active managers never beat the market, and 2. talking about the Lake Wobegon effect.
All honest research basically points to stock picking as a really, really bad investment strategy for retail investors. And the author basically agrees, and then proceed to tell you to do it, but on dividend stocks. How is that not stock picking?

Next, let's oppose successful people (by that, I mean peopl

Next, let's oppose successful people (by that, I mean people who made their money doing actual business or actual trading), vs salesmen (by that, I mean people making their money by selling you books about investing, selling you investment newsletters, investment seminars, basically people who are taking YOUR money selling you tips to make money, even though they themselves never made any, and therefore really have no legitimacy doing so. But they're always smooth talkers).

Successful people include:
- Warren Buffet. He's said many times that his heirs will get their money invested in an S&P 500 tracker. Period.
- Tony Robbins. He wrote 2 books about money, neither of which he financially benefits from, precisely as proof that he didn't just write long infomercials. He's loaded, but never made money selling you INVESTMENT advice. He basically asked successful market professionals for their recommendations. The conclusion? Unless you're Ray Dalio, buy a cheap S&P 500 tracker. Period.

Salesmen include:
- Robert T. Kiyosaki. He pretty clearly never made any significant dough investing the way he's telling you to in his books and seminars. He makes his money selling you books, seminars, and dreams.
- Marc Lichtenfeld. His websites look like scams. His advice is dangerous (stock picking, expecting retail investors to follow earnings reports, drill into cash flows statements, and so on). His wall street experience is a sham. In fact he never worked on Wall Street. He started his career as a reporter for 3y, then there's a 1y unexplained gap in his CV, then he worked in some unknown equities shop for 2 years, in Florida, then went back to being a reporter, and soon after started his Oxford mailing list. That's a journalist career, not a financial markets professional one. Naming his biz Oxford is a classic ploy to make something dubious sound legitimate.
- The Motley Fool. Need is say more?

Now there is value in dividend stocks. And understanding compounding is absolutely critical, and should be taught in schools. But in this book, the logical conclusion is "oh, he sells a newsletter with his stock picks, I'll use that", because the alternative is becoming a fully fledged equity analyst. So, this book is an infomercial. And of course, there's no transparency in their claims of success, because there's no real portfolio to look at. It's like Motley Fool claiming their legitimacy because they said they liked Google and Amazon early on.

Missing, critically, is a comparative analysis between an S&P500 ETF and the suggested strategies. I doubt he created alpha. In fact you can be sure that had he found it, he's be telling you about it. And if you don't know what alpha is, please do yourself a service and go buy the cheapest ETF tracking the S&P 500 you can find.

A very informative book. I think his plan works. Unfortunately I read this book too late to make much of a difference in my life (am retired). He is saying you can make 12% in 11 years if you choose Dividend Aristocrats, Champions or Challengers - high quality dividend stocks. He gives very practical advice that is not complicated; that anyone can follow with a little effort.

Being honest, I really skimmed a lot of this book. There are many systems for getting rich, and this is just one more. Good to read as many investment books as possible if only to get multiple ideas. No one has an absolute guaranteed method for us individual investors, so I think the trick is to read a lot of ideas from experts and figure out which one(s) appeal to you.

Sep 03, 2015 Jon rated it really liked it

Better than average. Expect some repetition if you are at all familiar with investing concepts. The number of examples praising the wonders of compounding seem themselves to be compounding as the book rolls on.

Interesting concepts, make sense at certain points. However, tends to be very repetitive and does not really provide a concise way to teach you how to actually find the stocks that meet the dividend requirements besides sharing his two conditions. Worth a read.

Sep 02, 2016 Thomas rated it really liked it

I really liked it. There is some really good material here that was put in a way that even I could understand!

Nice concept but the book goes repetitive many times. Author could delve deep into explaining may be more technically on how to pick those 4.7% yield stocks.
