The Single Best Investment: Creating Wealth with Dividend Growth
this is a great book. O’Higgin’s book on buying the Dogs of the Dow was a good book, and it made sense: buy quality when it is cheap. Well, Miller’s book makes sense, too. In fact, it makes so much sense, that you wonder “why, of course, that’s the way to make money”. This book reminds you how important dividends are (some 70% of stocks’ returns over the past 50 years), and how significant compounding can be. (“yeah, yeah, yeah” you say, but how about 20+% annual return per year on an investment in a solid, low risk company? Miller tells you how.) Though this is not the kind of book that appeals to day-traders, or “hot stock” investors, it is the kind of book that should appeal to smart investors.

As a business major I’ve read a countless number of dry books on the subjects of stock picking and market analysis, but this book breaks that mold. It is an easy read that presents a simple plan for investing in growing stocks with rising dividends. Your returns will compound over time through market highs and lows. Miller suggests you follow his investment steps and then forget about them, ignoring the markets’ daily fluctuations and the contradicting theories of analysts. Excellent advice at a time when there is too much information being made available to too many people all of the time. This book is a must for all serious investors, it explains how to successfully achieve the profits we all desire without the risks.
Rating: 5 / 5
This is an important but easy-to read book that argues that the single best investment is in stocks with rising dividends. It hits a layer of real bedrock, providing a long-term fundamental perspective that is a great antidote to the information overload that is typical of investment information today. Applying this approach is a low risk way to create a “compounding machine” that relentlessly grinds out income and capital appreciation over the long-term. It is a book both for both beginning as well as experienced investors, and is well-written and organized with excellent summaries at the end of each chapter.This is a really good book!
Rating: 5 / 5
The author tells you everything you could possibly want to know about his investment strategy of buying growth stocks with rising dividends. If you just want to know the heart of the strategy, start with Chapter 10, The Rules. The other chapters have a summary at the end. This strategy is not for your typical system player / day trader, it’s for a young person with a low risk tolerance.
Rating: 3 / 5
The Single Best Investment provides a detailed step-by-step guide to investing in high quality dividend-growth stocks that will produce increasing returns over the long run without increased risk exposure. Investing in these easy to hold stocks saves you from the hassle of following the markets’ ups and downs on a daily basis. A sensible plan based on real financial facts, not the latest market fad; this strategy will work just as well 50 years from now as it does today. As signs show that a slow down in the recent bull market is at hand, following Miller’s plan makes even more sense for investors because it promises returns without the usual market anxiety.
