Review
"This is a book aimed at serious investors who want to shore up their portfolios with a time-tested stock asset. Carlso is a clear writer [and] makes his case very well for the power of dividends.".
(SmartMoney.com)
“Provides excellent analysis. . . should be an important component of a private wealth adviser’s discussion with clients about sources of long-term investment return and the critical importance of reinvestment in building wealth. Carlson addresses portfolio diversification and risk management in an accessible way. Readers will appreciate the manner in which he ‘names names’ to paint a clear picture of how excess returns can be achieved through a simple and time-tested investment formula. He also underscores the need to supplement selection formulas with fundamental research in order to make optimal investment decisions.” (Financial Analysts Journal)
Product Description
Everyone needs to invest, but where do you invest during bear markets?
The massive stock declines over the past year have eroded savings, but this doesn't mean you should stuff your money under a mattress. It needs to be put to work getting some return so that it will grow.
Smart investors will turn to high dividend paying stocks to get a stable and growing stream of income. Dividend investing-that provides an income beyond any gain in the share price-may be the investor's best weapon. Dividends are safe, largely reliable, and maybe at the their cheapest levels in many years. While the best paying dividend stocks of recent years, such as financials, took a huge beating in 2008, opportunities will abound in 2010 and beyond-if you know where to look.
In The Little Book of Big Dividends, dividend stock expert Chuck Carlson presents an action plan for dividend-hungry investors. You'll learn about the pitfalls, how to find the opportunities, and will learn how to construct a portfolio that generates big, safe dividends easily through the BSD (Big, Safe Dividends) formula. If you're a bit adventurous, Carlson has you covered, and will teach you how to find big, safe dividends in foreign stocks, preferred stocks, ETFs, real estate investment trusts, and more.
- Contains the simple tools, strategies, and recommendations for finding big, safe dividends
- Helps you put a complete portfolio together that pays dividends every month
- Show you the top dividend paying stocks with their dividend payment dates
It doesn't get any easier than this, and in these turbulent times, you can't afford to ignore the power of dividends. Read The Little Book of Big Dividends and gain a better perspective of how you can protect yourself for the future.

Short and to the point,
This review is from: The Little Book of Big Dividends: A Safe Formula for Guaranteed Returns (Hardcover)
A short read but a great book that explains both the benefits and flaws of dividends, as well as the different type of products that fall under the dividend category. It is an extremely basic book for those who know the products, but it does give great insight and I like their "scoring" methods for different dividend stocks. It is targeted towards novices and long-term investors, so those with experience under the belt might view the book as redundant. I also don't like the fact it has the word "guaranteed", since stock investments are never guaranteed.A fair warning though: It is American based though, so Canadians might need to work around a few areas unless you plan on investing in US stocks.

Like all 'little books', it is a good warm up, but definitely not comprehensive,
By Benjamin Phua - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Little Book of Big Dividends: A Safe Formula for Guaranteed Returns (Hardcover)
As a young investment manager I like readable books that I can read in the evenings that can explain concepts clearly and simplify things where appropriate as opposed to the textbooks I'm familiar with which are heavy on theory but weak on application. This book is such a book but with limitations.As an investor who does not believe in relying on other peoples' models unless I can actually see what goes into a model, this book is a good starting place for understanding the fundamentals of dividend centric investment strategies for your own creative thinking process. BUT do realise that an important aspect of Mr. Carlson's valuation methodology lies in his Quadrix score generation which is obviously a complex multi level model which he explains only at the simplest level, if you want to use Carlson's formula for picking dividend stocks, you MUST rely on the assumption that his Quadrix model will continue to beat the market based on the evidence that he has presented. Then you MUST only pick from the free data available at his website or PAY for the Quadrix data or RELY on his stock picks. Personally, I feel this book is worth the money I paid for it just because it gives me a basic understanding into his methodology as well as a updated (weekly) list of stocks he picks using his Quadrix method. I intend to look into his stock picks but I will use my own analysis, relying on black box models always gives me the creeps... In conclusion, This is a good book on fundamental dividend stock valuation technique, a computer savvy investor familiar with market valuation techniques might be able to take his hints and formulate his own model but the average investor will need to either pay for the Quadrix scores or rely on the free scores available for a certain amount of stocks. He also provides alternatives to his Quadrix model but overall the key item to finding strong dividend stocks in the method that he would is kept away from us. Whether this is fair given the cost of the book, I leave to you to decide. Ben Phua All in all a decent book if you take the advice with a grain of salt and common sense. 18 of 23 people found the following review helpful

Useless book,
By PK - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Little Book of Big Dividends: A Safe Formula for Guaranteed Returns (Hardcover)
The book is meant for absolute newbies. It does not contain any useful discussion for seasoned investors. The book actually argues that investors should not look to buy and own high dividend stocks! (instead just own stocks spitted out by the BSD formula given in the book). The explanation of the BSD formula itself is very superficial.

For novices and very long term investors only.,

This review is from: The Little Book of Big Dividends: A Safe Formula for Guaranteed Returns (Hardcover)
Book is excellent. Basically, you purchase a stock and forget it. You will ride the ups and downs of the market with it. However, for short term and intermediate trader; you will be unable to capture the volatility of the equity you own and trade in the direction of the market. Easier to read than your Sunday paper. I therefore recommend this book for beginners in the financial market.
