Description
"Joseph uses his years of market experience to lay out a simple yet effective investment plan." - Nick Loper, Side Hustle Nation"Joseph brings top credentials and real world experience to investment education in this book. Learn smart investing tenets that work." -Barbara A. Friedberg, Friedberg Personal Finance"I loved Joseph's Dividend guide to investing. I'm more of a new investor so it was super helpful to learn more about dividend investing. I wasn't overwhelmed and walked away feeling as though I was ready to choose my dividend stocks for the new year. Really a great read. If you want to learn more about dividend investing this is the book you should read." - Candice Latham"Even experienced investors will get something out of the MLP and real estate investment trust (REIT) chapters of the book." - Darlene Fast, verified Amazon purchase"The book does a good job of laying the groundwork to a dividend investing strategy, why you need dividend stocks in your portfolio and what to look for in stock investments. The best part of the book though is in the two income investments MLPs and real estate stocks. The information on these two stock groups isn't as easily found elsewhere so it's pretty valuable to someone trying to diversify their portfolio into something other than just dividend stocks." - Manila Take one step closer to building a simple and long-term investing strategy. Of all the investing strategies I've helped private clients develop over the years, dividend investing is one of the best and most popular. Dividend stocks and income investments are your best chance at beating your financial goals with consistent cash flow and great returns. I had a great time putting this book together because I know how much it will help you put together an investing strategy and meet your goals. I'm excited about sharing everything I've learned over two decades in the markets and everything in this book. I love dividend investing! As an investor for more than two decades and an investment analyst for nearly 10 years, I've found few investments that provide as much upside return and cash flow as dividends and income investments. In fact, dividend investing may be the only true way to 'beat the stock market.' Investing in income stocks is the perfect medium between the potential for growth and immediate cash flows. Dividend stocks provide just as much upside return when stock prices are increasing but also provides a source of positive return when the market tumbles. Dividend payments act as a check against overly-ambitious management and executive perks paid for with your investment dollars. Within Step-by-Step Dividend Investing, you'll get everything you need to get started investing in dividends and other income investments. Beyond why you should invest in dividend stocks, I take you through the investing criteria I've used to pick the best dividend stocks. You'll also learn about two great income opportunities in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and master limited partnerships (MLPs). These special tax-advantaged businesses have a natural advantage over other stock companies and perennially outperform the stock market. Learn why I concentrate the majority of my investments in dividend stocks and income investments and how I do it without sacrificing returns. Learn how to customize a dividend strategy for your needs and your investment goals. Finally, learn how to manage your dividend investments in as little time possible and when to sell your dividend stocks.

Features & Highlights
- 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.
