INVESTING SECRETS OF THE MASTERS starts with one proven, basic truth that has woven itself through generations of successful investors, yet seems to have become passé as we enter the go-go 21st century. That truth? Dividends count. More to the point, companies that reward investors with generous, ever-growing dividend payouts should, over time, provide a total return that outperforms the broader market. Dividends have always been a key to investment success and, unless the financial world completely reverses its storied history, will continue to be a central secret. Is this the only secret? Of course not.

INVESTING SECRETS OF THE MASTERS covers numerous issues of importance to investment returns, like the impact of economic cycles, inflation, interest rates, and taxes. It explains the psychological secrets of trading, giving you disciplined ways to keep your eye on the ball amid constant tumult and meaningless noise. The authors provide step-by-step methods for creating winning portfolios using each company's dividend "factor" as well as a thorough analysis of strategic and tactical asset allocation.
