Just finished another book on investment. I picked this one from the book store because I am pretty much tired of all the rest out there. there are only 2 types, either Buy-and-Hold Mutual Fund or Day-trade stock picking. Not that I am against them, it’s just that they are boring! They are all the same and all derived from books that are 100 yrs old!

Here comes 25% Cash Machine. This book is all about finding high-dividend stocks with potential growth value. It’s not completely a buy-and-hold. You need to constantly on a lookout for market trends and changes. Be prepared to move out and ride on another one. The strategy is to ride on the best growth potential stock while maintaining >10% dividend. That is all it is about. It goes on explaining the whole high-dividend stock categories out there. Man, there are truly a whole boat load of these stocks out there and they are all 10% per year! To name a few super stars:

• Penn West Energy (PWE) - 13.20%
• Pengrowth Energy (PGH) - 13.20%
• Harvest Energy Trust (HTE) - 14.70%
• Frontline Ltd (FRO) - 15.00%
• Terra Nitrogen (TNH) - 11.90%

These stocks are not only giving out large divs. They are also growing and appreciating. So here’s the plan, I am going to try build a portfolio again this year based on this strategy. Let’s see how I perform next year!
