The America’s Finest Companies Investment Plan (Book Review)
Bill Staton suggests we look at Dividends
The America’s Finest Company Investment Plan revolves around dividends. Bill Staton writes a very empathic case for long term investing in dividend paying stocks. His plan is to find companies with regular and rising dividend payments and then invest in them. Staton reasons that these companies are well run and should weather most difficulties. Further the dividends themselves could be reinvested, thereby magnifying gains.
There is noting extraordinary about the concept. In effect, Staton uses compouning as a means of generating gains. In his plan though the income compounded is dividends instead of interest. However, the math in either case is the same.

Interested in Dividend investing?
These are some books on the matter. Dividend investing is a fairly well known investment strategy. It does have a reputation for being a bit slow and conservative. However, that doesn’t mean it’s ineffective. As Staton argues in his book, this may be the safest and most profitable method for non-professionals.
