    Easy and Interesting Read 5

    I am currently embarking on my DRIPping investment strategy. I purchased a couple of shares on the exchange board the author recommended. With the current global economic downturn, I believe this is an excellent time to invest in the stock market AND find a way to minimize your expenses. Money tucked away in a mutual funds set up for retirement dropped signifigantly for many people yet you still have to pay management expenses (MER). Mr. Foster shows an excellent strategy to minimize… + read more

    I like this book 4

    It might be controversial whether DRIPing is going to sustain one to have an early retirement. Nevertheless, this book provides a good alternative for some simple long term investing for regular folks. The idea that impresses me most was not about how early the author got to early retirement, but his definition of retirement that was revealed in the book - not about having unlimited material possession or "n" million of money in the bank, but the humility and satisfaction of understanding what… + read more

    Clever and Useful 5

    With all due respect to other reviewers, this book is a) a straight forward read and b) pretty darn accurate. Looking at the plan he lays out in this book -- using DRPs coupled with SPPs your investment quickly becomes sizable. Look at the major Canadian banks: BNS dividend .50/share/quarter that means at 100 shares ($4850.00 roughly) you will be receiving 1 additional share every quarter. Assuming that you continue to invest regularly (say about 375-400 dollars per month -- remember pay… + read more

    Misleading 1

    18 months ago

    C'mon RP. There is no way that a 2-3% div payout will become a 4-6% payout the following year unless the stock literally doubles. How is that realistic? The div payout will likely double after 8 to 10 years. If what you are saying is true, one could buy a few bank stocks and be a millionaire in about 10 years due to compounding. His numbers were nowhere near being realistic.

    DO IT YOURSELF! I have read a lot of books on investing, and this is the one that I would recommend first to anybody. The concept is so simple. Forget day trading and get rich quick nonsense. Anyone who is serious about securing their financial future should consider the fundamentals that this book outlines. This is the strategy that I am going to follow.
