Giveaway: The 4 Weeks of Dividend Winners – Week 3 (Plus This Week’s Winner!!)
- 22 Comment
Time for another winner in the 4 Weeks of Dividend Winners. Last week, I kicked-off the giveaway for The Single Best Investment: Creating Wealth with Dividend Growth. The lucky winner of the book is the moneygardener. Congratulations and thanks for the comment.

This week’s book in the giveaway series is All About Dividend Investing
According to the authors, investors may be in for a long period of poor returns based on their analysis of bull and bear market cycle history. They also look closely at demographics and the baby boomer’s potential impact on investing returns and their need for income into retirement. They present the positive impact of dividends on the possibility of positive returns during extended periods when there is little or no price appreciation in the equity markets. This is a common selling feature for dividend stocks – some sort of return even if the markets or the stock are going nowhere. Overall, I liked the book and would recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about dividend investing.
How to Win
To enter the giveaway this week, all you need to to do is submit a comment to this post. This weeks catch is simple – in the comment simply give me one suggestion for a blog topic that you would like to see me write about (investing focused please!) on this blog. Good luck and thanks in advance for the comments!

I’ll say – some discussions about taxations on dividends outside the rrsp (they do have a downside after all).

I’m still learning about dividend investing, so a book like this is probably better than something more advanced. As far as a topic goes – I’m still catching up the basics in your archives.

I’d like to see a post analyzing Geraldine Weiss’ investing method compared to your own. This (http://www.forbes.com/2002/02/12/0212adviser.html) article from 2002 gives a good summary of the Weiss method.

For quite some time academics have debated dividends as a predictor of future earnings. Most notably from a study by Mr. Arnott and Mr. Asness entitled, “Surprise! Higher Dividends = Higher Earnings Growth”. Can anyone comment on the current state of this argument? Anyone have any thoughts to contribute? If ultimately this is proven to be a significant statistical trend then imagine the implications to dividend policies across all sectors.

I am learning the basics of Dividend investing an like what I see. Being “new” to investing I could learn a lot from a book like this.
PS. Thanks for blogging I have learned more about investing in the last 6 months than in the 10 or so years previous.

Hey! I have a couple of suggestions. A focus on Canadian Dividend Stocks. How and when you started your investments? Some investing mistakes you made. What would you have done otherwise if you had the knowledge you currently have? Any classes or seminars you suggest?
Thanks!

Watsco ( WSO ) from South Florida operates in more than 30 US states mostly the Sun belt ( http://www.watsco.com ), and has declared record sales and profits year after year for the past 5 years while the dividend income has been increased at an average 65% each year. Actual yield is 4%. Yet for the past two years the stock has slided from around $73. to $41. today. Could we consider WSO as a great buy & hold opportunity for solid and growing dividend income ? Thank you very much !

At what point is it best to start investing in dividend stocks? Do I completely max out my 401k first or just up to the match? Are dividend stocks best suited for a Roth IRA? What about after I’ve contributed all I can?
I’m new to stocks so any advice is great! Thanks!

A topic that I have thought about before and I think would be nice to cover: for a higher growth company should we still count a small dividend as a positive for the stock or could it be seen as a negative for a high growth area?

How about selecting a top dividend stock from each of the S&P 500 sectors (i.e. one from industrials, one from tech, etc.)? I’d leave the criteria for selection up to you!

I apologize if my suggestion for a topic has already been covered as I have yet to completely peruse your archives.
Topic: How to utilize a online stock screener(preferably free) for a high level selection of dividend paying stocks. This approach would theoretically select the “cream of the crop” for further manual analysis by the user.
