Never heard of this guy, from the wiki
>he worked as a gas station attendant and mechanic for about 25 years. Read retired for one year and then took a part-time janitor job at J. C. Penney where he worked for 17 years until 1997.
>Read amassed a fortune of almost $8 million by investing in dividend-producing stocks and being a buy and hold investor in a diversified portfolio of stocks with a heavy concentration in blue chip companies.
Rare based porky giving the janitor the inside scoop?

>>246600If people became rich by buying and holding blue-chip (large company, mainstream) stocks that pay a dividend then
all boomers would be millionaires. There has to be more to his strategy than simply investing in dividend stocks because I refuse to believe that he got rich though that strategy alone.

>>246603A dividend is quarterly payment payed to you by a company for holding their stock.
The payment varies a lot depending on the company, but the total returns are usually low if you don't own have a lot of stock to begin with.
