So I have decided to start my own Dividend Investing blog. Having spent the last ten years or so reading different books and trying different investment styles, I believe my tastes lean towards high yield dividend stocks. Do I know all there is to know about investing in high yield dividend stocks? Definitely not. I want this blog to serve as a learning experience for myself and anyone else that cares to follow. I plan to start by reviewing books I have read or that I am currently reading to determine what makes a great high yield dividend investment. The book that I am currently reading is The Single Best Investment: Creating Wealth with Dividend Growth by Lowell Miller.
