Giveaway: The 4 Weeks of Dividend Winners – Week 2 (Plus This Week’s Winner!!)
- 30 Comment
We have a winner! As we close out Week 1 of The 4 Weeks of Dividend Winners, I am pleased to announce the randomly selected winner of Christopher H. Browne’s The Little Book of Value Investing. Congratulations to Four Pillars of Quest for Four Pillars. I will be in touch shortly.
|
Now onto this week’s giveaway book, which is The Single Best Investment: Creating Wealth with Dividend Growth. This is one of my personal favorite dividend investment books simply because of its no nonsense approach to investing in the search for high dividend stocks. In a nutshell, Miller summarizes his approach as high quality companies plus high current dividend plus high dividend growth equals good returns for an investor. There a lot of reviews from other personal finance and investment bloggers – have a look here, here, and here.
How to Win the Book!
To enter the giveaway this week, you need to submit a comment to this post. However, there is a catch. In the comment, I would like you to provide me with your favorite dividend stock. You don’t need to tell me why, but I would love to hear it! I know my readers are always looking for good investing ideas so this should be interesting. I look forward to hearing from you!
Good luck on this week’s giveaway!

Thanks a lot for the book. Maybe I can go for the sweep???
My favourite dividend stock is the only one I own – BMO (Bank of Montreal). I like it because it’s one of the big five banks and is pretty safe. I use it in my leverage portfolio so I want safety and a reasonable yield in order to help pay the interest costs.

My current favorite is Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS). I think that with the international exposure (Central and South America, as well as Asia), they are well-positioned to keep improving their revenus (and thus dividend) for many years.

I used to like AEP, but their yield has gone down a lot in the last few years. I think something like CSE is a good buy now, but it remains to be seen if they will keep up with the dividends of the last couple years.

Mine is BAC. I’ve invested regularly in that one, MO and JNJ for almost ten years now – reinvesting all dividends of course. But BAC has been great with its returns and building of shares. MO’s legal problems made it too jumpy for me, and JNJ’s been rather stagnant for a long time.
