The only better places to meet girls may be church and grocery stores. Sorry this is 1/2 off topic."

Mr. Gekko said: "OK, so I just started reading this book today. Read the first two chapters (that's all I had time for). Very basic so far but, introductory chapters typically are. I'll post a full review in this thread when I'm finished. :)"

Mr. Gekko said: "Ok, so as promised here's my review... All About Dividend Investing is short (200 pages, 12 chapters) but, very insightful. I'm sure there are a few posters here that already possess the knowledge that is presented in this book. Yet, it explains a part of our investments that we sometimes overlook. And, as I have learned, overlooking dividends is to ignore free money. Yes, there are a lot of stocks that pay dividends, some as high as 15%-20%. And it is true that a stock that pays a dividend is considered "safer" than one that doesn't. But, that's not necessarily so. The most useful information that I got out of this book was how to compare dividend payers against each other. A higher yield doesn't always mean a better dividend. There is also useful information on how dividends work in general and the best ways to reinvest your dividends. In short, I would recommend this book to anyone reading this. Even if you don't plan on creating a dividend based portfolio the information is still valuable. More than likely you own a stock that pays a dividend and this book will help you decide if they even should. Two thumbs up from me. :th_dblthumb2:"
