When to Sell Your Dividend Stocks
Too many low-risk investors were captivated by the glitz of the Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) IPO and took it on the chin. And of course, many dividend investors have been sucked in to the trap of chasing yield. Younger investors or well-heeled traders may not realize that living off your dividends as income is a common way to provide for retirement. But I know from real-life exchanges that this is very much the situation that many investors are in right now. So my first morsel of advice is simple and philosophical: Don’t...
Lessons From Top Fund Managers

New Dividend Book
One of my colleagues, Dividend Monk, recently launched a book on dividend investing. It’s called the Dividend Toolkit, and for the price of a book it includes both a PDF guide on efficient stock analysis, and the specific spreadsheet tool that he use to calculate the fair value of a dividend stock.
The Dividend Toolkit explains the valuation methods, including Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, in easy terms. They’re elegantly simple once they are understood.
