New Study Shows Individual Investors How To Profit from Dividend Growth Stocks
THE TOP 40 DIVIDEND STOCKS FOR 2010:
How To Generate Wealth or Income
from Dividend Stocks
McKinney, TX, February 15, 2010
Dividend stocks may be the single best investment you can make. They offer both the growth potential of stocks with the income of bonds. Over long periods, dividend stocks have produced the best total return of any category of stocks. The Top 40 Dividend Stocks for 2010 offers an exclusive list and analysis of the best 40 dividend stocks for 2010, as well as guidance on how to build and maintain a dividend stock portfolio.
To fill the need for a guide to dividend investing, David Van Knapp, the author of Sensible Stock Investing: How to Pick, Value, and Manage Stocks, has released his third annual special study on dividend stocks. Its title is The Top 40 Dividend Stocks for 2010: How to Generate Wealth or Income from Dividend Stocks.
The Top 40 Dividend Stocks for 2010 is a comprehensive yet easy-to-follow roadmap for individual investors who want to invest in dividend stocks, but who don’t know how to get started or are unsure whether a dividend investing strategy is right for them.
The Top 40 Dividend Stocks series has been well received and reviewed. Satisfied users have written the author:
• “I purchased your 2010 Top 40 Dividend Stocks e-book and have enjoyed reading it tremendously!
• “I wanted…to let you know how much I enjoyed reading your latest e-book. I am a young investor with a possible 30+ years until retirement. I have been educating myself about dividend stocks as an effective means to further save for retirement. [Y]our e-book was very informative, easy to understand, and out of all the methods I have seen that are used to select dividend stocks, yours seems to be the most logical and sensible.” (Mr. J.D. Stanley, referring to the 2009 edition)
The Top 40 Dividend Stocks for 2010 is written for the average individual investor. In addition to building the case for dividend stocks and explaining what makes them useful across a variety of needs and conditions, the e-book contains a variety of tools and forms to help the busy individual select the best dividend stocks, build a portfolio, and create a coherent investment strategy.
The centerpiece of the special study is its compilation and analysis of the Top 40 dividend stocks for 2010. Far more than a mere list, the e-book contains an exhaustive analysis of the 40 stocks, showing why each was selected for the list. Some of the stocks (such as Johnson and Johnson and 3M) are familiar names and have made the Top 40 list every year, while others (such as Enbridge, a Canadian pipeline company) are making their first appearance this year.
An important feature of the e-book is its unique Easy-Rate scoring system. The system was used to select the Top 40 from an original universe of about 700 dividend-paying stocks. A requirement for every Top 40 stock is that it must have raised its dividends for the past five years straight and display the financial wherewithal to continue to do so. Some stocks in the Top 40 have increased their dividend every year for decades.
Another feature is the emphasis on portfolio management, a subject which is normally discussed far less than stock picking. Portfolio management includes risk control techniques, determining the proper number of stocks to own, creating basic documents of the investor’s goals and strategies, and knowing when to buy and sell.
Each feature of the book is designed to inform and educate, and thus to improve the odds of the reader’s success. The author maintains and publishes on his Web site a real-money portfolio demonstrating the success that can be achieved by following the principles in the special study.
The e-book is designed to help investors start a portfolio of dividend stocks or re-tool and manage one they already have. Studies show that the stocks with the best total returns are not the headline-grabbing high-growth, “latest great thing” issues, nor are they hot technology stocks. Rather, the champions in the best-total-returns game are dividend-paying stocks. This special study identifies the best of them and guides the investor every step of the way to building a portfolio that meets his or her needs and goals.
