The Dividend Investor's Guide

by Norman Roberts

Overview

A majority of dividend investors are conservative by nature. I am. I have no special trading talent, no crystal ball, nor do I have access to insider information. Therefore, I have little expectation of prospering by consistently buying low and selling high. In fact, my trading history boasted the opposite, buying high and selling low. Sadly, I realized I had invested with no real rhyme or reason, often relying on the advice of friends, brokers, and CNBC pundits, which, more often than not, failed me. I decided that if I were to continue investing in the market, I needed an investment strategy that was anchored by some logical parameter I could count on. After immersing myself in all aspects of dividend investing I found that elusive anchor, which after many fits and starts I developed into an effective long-term investment philosophy; and a variety of short-term trading strategies designed to increase my dividend yield and income. Because I have profited handsomely during this most difficult and challenging three year market, 2008 - 2011, I have chronicled the search, education and knowledge I have gained along the way, which I want to share with you in The Dividend Investor's Guide.

About the Author

Dr. Norman Roberts is a retired dentist living in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. He is an avid reader, a former editor of New Scene Magazine, and author of The Blackjacks. A successful mortgage lender until the 2007 real estate crash, Dr. Roberts returned to investing in the market in August, 2008; and by March, 2009 had suffered an unrealized loss of $650,000. Although he claims no special investing expertise, luck, or insider knowledge, he developed a trading philosophy and trading strategies that converted that loss to a $600,000 gain by March of the following year, a remarkable $1.25 million turn-around. Knowledge he has since shared with friends and family, several of who urged that he write about it and share his knowledge with others. Consequently, he wrote and published The Dividend Investor's Guide in 2011. On March 2, 2016, Dr. Roberts wrote his first article as a Seeking Alpha contributor, exposing what he considered a legal attempt at extortion. He soon became a prolific, although mildly controversial contributor, and rapidly built a large base of followers and soon became the #1 contributor in Seeking Alpha's Dividend Strategy category. Based on his expertise and experience as a cumulative preferred dividend investor and the many articles he has since written on the subject, Dr. Roberts has recently published The Art & Science of Preferred Dividend Investing.
