This one came read cover to cover
I have been following Ian and his investment strategy for 6 months and even as rough as the market has been my dividends keep coming in and I reinvest them, allowing me to purchase more stock shares at a reduced rate thus adding to the next dividend amount. I cannot wait to get this so I can see what additional information I can gain. I love the podcasts too! Reinforcement on the principles and great Q&A!UPDATE!I read this one cover to cover in a few hours. Ian does an excellent job covering the material and his examples allowed me to verify I was on the right track evauating stocks. I hope he has another book or two coming in the near future.

Worthy to read and great insight
The book has significant insights of safe investment strategies. Specifically, stocks rating matrix by using multiple marketnand company data are interesting to evaluate when you look for buying a particular stock. If he would be able to incorporate beta, CAGR, and few other matrix, it would be much more scientific approach as well. However, in overall, it is a book you must read when forming your investment strategy. I recommend reading this book.

Did Not send advertised Software
Update: I did finally receive the software after multiple requests using different methods of communication.Original post:The book, NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE'S 106 BEST HIGH DIVIDEND STOCKS, advertises you can email them to receive the advertised stock scoring software (with purchase of book).I requested the software using the address they provided and did NOT receive a response. I checked my junk mail and it did not go there either. So a few days later sent another email requesting the software and again nothing.Do NOT purchase this book expecting to be able to send for this software. You will NOT receive it.

too many reit's and energy stocks with special tax situations
There are better dividend books. Skeptical of how he rates stocks. In my opinion, there is no consideration for safety in the ratings.

A simple foundation to get started and grow confidence along the way
I purchased Ian's "Income and Wealth from Self-Directed Investing" along with this book. The first book is a little more personal, conversational and introductory - you see where MacDonald is coming from in terms of helping friends out who have been burned as well as he himself, even after working and saving and entrusting so much.This book gets to the technical method more quickly and lays out enough information that you can calculate and begin to understand otherwise potentially foreign things yourself. I decided to reverse engineer his methods in Google Sheets and after reading some Reddit threads and searching some YouTube videos I did some very novice site scrapes and was able to apply his 11 categories on the fly.I'm only getting started on his method so I can't say what returns have been yet, but this book equipped me to feel confident that I at least understand the method I'm applying. My hope is that I will continue to learn along the way and as I understand it better and get older I will be able to be more and more serious and can share the same 'aha's with my children and others around me.As mentioned in the book, don't just copy down the symbols or the scores - they will have already changed. You will be MUCH more confident if you take some extra time to try to construct it yourself. Think about it - you've taken the time to commandeer your own investing and your own money. You owe it to yourself to know the basics of what you're doing - and MacDonald gives you a method where you can get started and begin to learn just that.
