Step by Step Dividend Investing: A Beginner's Guide to the Best Dividend Stocks and Income Investments

Stop Playing the Stock Market Game with the Only Stock Investment to Consistently Beat the Market Over the 15 years through 2014, stocks in the S&P 500 lost money a third of the time with investors losing an average of 16% when the market tumbled. Even on gains in other years, investors earned an annualized return of just 2.3% over the period...that's barely enough to cover inflation. But one group of stocks has consistently beaten the stock market game. In fact, this group has provided a source for positive returns every single year - without fail. Even when the prices of dividend stocks fall, the regular stream of cash they provide is a constant source for positive returns. After reading this book, you'll know exactly how to take advantage of returns on dividend stocks and how to build a portfolio around income investments. This book is the second in a series of four, outlining a step-by-step process for a simple investing strategy.
