Why should you settle for 0.01 percent interest in a savings account? Or be okay with a treasury bill which pays less than 2 percent per year?

Back in 1990, you could have retired comfortably with a nest egg of $500,000. All you had to do was invest that money into a Treasury Bill, and you would have earned a steady 8 percent every year.

That’s $40,000 deposited into your account every single year from what most experts would consider the world’s most stable investment.

These days, if you invest $500,000 into the same Treasury Bill, you won’t be getting 8 percent per year. Nowhere near that.

In 2020, a Treasury Bill paid just 1.25 percent every year. That’s just $6,250 income per year on a $500,000 investment.

And you can’t live anywhere in the US, UK, or Canada on $6,250 per year.

So, what to do instead?

This book will not only show you why you can’t rely on government bonds for your retirement, it will also show you exactly what to do instead (Hint: It doesn’t involve relying on Social Security.)

Here’s just a fraction of what you’ll learn inside:

How to get rich in real estate without owning any propertiesThe “yield trap” - how to avoid bad value dividend stocksGet in before March 29 to profit from this “tollbooth” oil opportunity. This company’s business models thrives even if oil prices are less than $10 a barrelBetter than Tesla? This renewable energy company is booming right now and continues to reward investor with large distributionsInstead of paying $3,200 for a single share of Amazon, you can invest in Amazon’s landlord for just $30 a shareGreat dividend stock or yield trap? Our honest thoughts on AT&TForget Johnson & Johnson, this dividend stock could easily bring you an extra $100/monthThe little known 1986 tax reform which makes these companies fantastic dividend opportunitiesHow to buy the best bond funds in the world (which outperformed the S&P 500 by 3:1) without paying their hefty management fee. This sounds impossible but anyone can do it using a normal brokerage account.The best monthly paying dividend company (We narrowed it down from 56, and this little-known San Diego corporation will send you dividends every single month.)And much, much more!

You’ll also get our 10-part video course Company Valuation 101 as a free bonus. This is not a 600-page textbook which you need an MBA to understand. It is narrated in plain English and free from repetitive technical jargon.

Every single piece of financial terminology is clearly defined inside. You’ll find easy-to-follow advice in how to develop your own process for analyzing companies as well as concrete examples of everything we teach.

This book is for everyone who feels frustrated and crushed after watching so-called professional money managers lose half your money while charging fat fees.

Title: Something For All Investors
Review: I've read a lot of investing books over the years. I wanted to read this one because I've read other books by Freeman Publications in the past and wanted to see their "take" on a subject of interest to me - dividend investing. After reading it, I truly believe it would be a bargain at any price.Far too many so-called "investing" books are full of hype and fluff and are weak on actual content. It was a pleasant surprise to pick up a book that strikes a balance between readability and in-depth content.Like any other book, you should do your own due diligence and not just blindly implement the suggestions in the book. Since I haven't yet started purchasing dividend stocks, I can't test, recommend, or "prove" this, or any other, dividend stock investing system. What the book does, in my opinion, is give you ways you can evaluate dividend stocks to see if a particular stock is a good fit for your portfolio. In other words, sharing the "why" behind making certain picks can help you develop your own systems for choosing stocks. That, to me, is the real value of this book.I also think this is at the "advanced beginner" level; if you've never heard of dividend stock investing before, there may be some concepts you don't understand. I also think that an Internet search for anything you don't understand will quickly bring you up to speed, so if you are a beginner, just read the book near your computer (or if you're reading the Kindle version, use the built-in search function) and you should be able to quickly understand the outlined concepts.There were a couple of things that I wouldn't have done in the book:1. The author(s) did make some specific stock picks. I would not encourage you to buy any of these stocks (especially if you buy the book several years after publication). The value, in my eyes, of these "picks" is that they are the result of choices made using the various methods outlined in the book. I'd focus on the process (of choosing a dividend stock) rather than the specific outcome (the stock itself).2. I'm not sure that the tax information given towards the end of the book is 100% accurate based on my own research. Tax laws tend to frequently change and I would strongly recommend that you not rely on the information printed in the book when you file your taxes. Always, ALWAYS consult a tax professional who has experience working with investors and traders.All told, I think the book is an extremely solid value. You won't be an expert on dividend stocks by the time you're done reading the book but I think the book has something to offer all investors, especially given the extremely low price. It gets my recommendation.DISCLAIMER: I was given a pre-release copy of the book for review purposes but bought the Kindle version anyway (I thought it was worth supporting the author(s) after reading the book). My opinions are my own views and were not in any way influenced by Freeman Publications.

Title: More than an overview without getting to far into the weeds.
Review: The book provides a comprehensive review of dividend income investing. I personally felt the book was spot on with detail. It was easily digestible and provided information I felt I can start to apply immediately. I surprised at how much I got out of the book, it really provides more than an overview.The book starts with a basic history of income investing, discussion on advisors, provides a process, good discussion on the different dividend income vehicles (stocks, REITS, MLP, funds, ETFs, CEFs) and recommendations based on the information discussed, and tax discussion.I really appreciate the recommendations. Each recommendation is provided with details pertaining to the process and information on that specific investment vehicle. The details that go with the recommendation provide you with an idea of the level of information you should come away with on your future investment prospects; that to me was their real value. These are current recommendations, not dated (at least not yet). The pandemic and implications are mentioned several times in the book.I’ve been actively investing for about 5 yrs now, mostly focused on growth, but getting to that point where I what to earn income on what I’ve grown. This book really focuses on earning income from your investments which is a different mindset than I’ve been using. It really helped me shift my thinking on stock evaluation while providing insight into investment options I’ve not much explored (MLPs & CEFs specifically).The value of the book well exceeded the $0.99 price tags for the Kindle version, and worth full value of the hard copy.

Title: Well written & informative but...
Review: First, this book is extremely well written and contains a nice entry level review of the different types of dividend investments (Stocks, REITS, MLP, CEF's, etc). It was certainly worth what I paid for it as a Kindle Reader.However, I was expecting more information about building a sustainable high dividend portfolio, thus the name of the book. However, there was very little in this book to support that. In fact, the sample portfolio offered in final chapter would result in a 3-4% dividend portfolio if built as suggested. I can see myself using this book at a building block but will need to go elsewhere for the next step.

Title: Great information and guidance on how to properly invest for income
Review: Full disclosure, I was offered the book to read with the promise to write a review.This book fits my investing style, as I love dividends and the potential for dividend growth. I do this through value investing. I loved the way the book was structured and, in my opinion, this book would benefit people who are new or are trying to invest versus speculating. It discusses the current yields on savings accounts and bonds, how fees effect your portfolio, dividends, yield traps and their 11 principles for finding great dividend stocks. While reading through these principles, it allowed me to compare these techniques to how I approach and value a stock or ETF. Like the previous book I read from this author, he adds several stocks he believes are currently good values with a secure dividend with growth potential. These stocks are great starting points for investors who looking at dividend growth investing.Overall this was a great read. It was engaging, very detailed and kept my attention. I have already recommended it to a few of my friends who are starting their investing journey.

Title: Definitely helped me on my dividend investment journey
Review: Im still new to taking my future into my own hands financially and feel out of the four dividend books I've read, this is one of two that mention CEFs and has made me all but fall in love with them! He doesn't go into as much detail about them as the first book I read that focused heavily on them but it was good reassurance. This book gives you a good idea of different strategies with each investing option and also gives resources that are free from the author like how to valuate companies

Review: As per previous books from Freeman publications, an amazing layered out book.It is not a book for speculators, day trade, swing traders and similar, it is in fact for long term investments.I really like it because how thorough Oliver and his team are when preparing these materials.Don’t get me wrong, I like short term investments too, I like the high-risk side of money too, but as the classic phrase people says “don’t place all your eggs in one single basket” this is something you would like for the portion of money you want to place under the less risk side.There are thousands of books and YouTube videos out there and this goes in a totally different approach, and I do really like and appreciate all that is says here.Thank you once again for sharing great content here.
