Get Rich with Dividends
“Marc Lichtenfeld's book is a timely, necessary, and easy-to-read reminder about the importance of dividend paying stocks. For a long time, especially during the tech boom, investors sacrificed steady dividend payments in favor of a stock's growth potential. Ultimately, however, stocks fell and those investors were left with neither cash nor capital appreciation. Don't let this happen again. Read Marc's book.”
“In today's global financial environment, investors would be wise to empower themselves with knowledge and insight. Mr. Lichtenfeld delivers on that mission.”
“Marc Lichtenfeld's name may be hard to pronounce, but his guide book is easy to implement. He practices what he preaches with his incredibly successful Perpetual Income Portfolio at the Oxford Club. His book should be called Get Rich Sooner than You Think. Investing in stocks that pay steady and rising dividends will make you a fortune you can enjoy while you're still young!”
“Marc has put together a New Bible for Investing. And in the process, he's debunked one of Wall Street's most widely held beliefs: that the average investor simply cannot outperform the market. He can! All it takes is a little legwork to find great companies that pay steady, rising dividends. And Marc's step-by-step system makes it easy. So put it to work, get rich, and start spreading the good news.”
“Speculators can get lucky occasionally. They can even get rich once in a while. But if you want to build wealth consistently, you have to let your money work for you. There is only one time-tested strategy for doing this and that is through dividends and reinvesting those dividends. However, investing in dividends is a strategy. Fortunately, you now have one of the best guides and guidebooks in the business. Marc Lichtenfeld is an accomplished researcher, with years of experience in the field of investing and dividends. His information is well thought out, well researched, and well written. Save yourself some time and set yourself up with a perpetual money machine by reading and following Marc's advice – religiously! You will get rich.. or richer by doing so.”

Foreword
When it comes to the stockmarket, most investors prefer glamour to profits.
Why do I say this? Tell average investors about a company with a cutting-edge technology, an exciting Phase III drug, or a new gold strike and they are all ears. But tell them about a blue chip stock with steady sales, a big order backlog, and a rising dividend yield and they are more likely to stifle a yawn.
That’s unfortunate. Because, contrary to what most investors believe, startling innovation is not a good predictor of business success. Or, as the famous industrialist and steel magnate Andrew Carnegie succinctly put it, “Pioneering don’t pay.”
A young company that is just feeling its oats – and
