My latest book "American High Dividend Handbook" was released November 16, 2021. It is an enhancement over my two previous books, "Safer Better Dividend Investing" and "Income and Wealth from Self-directed Investing".  The book provides detailed stock scoring data on all companies traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ paying dividends of 3.5% or more with operating margins greater than 15%.  These one-page assessments make it easier to find financially strong companies paying high dividends to your portfolio.
