Investing in US dividend stocks for the price of a cup of coffee
It's easy to start, even if you don't speak English or don't have a lot of money!

The stock investment craze has intensified since the coronavirus pandemic.
As stock prices soared due to excess liquidity supplied by governments and central banks around the world, FIRE investors around the world flocked to the stock market like moths to a flame.
The background may be that, seeing the skyrocketing real estate prices and friends born with a silver spoon in their mouths who have already inherited apartments, many people have come to believe that there is no other way than investing in stocks or coins.
However, as time passed, both the stock market and the real estate market began to decline, and investors who were hit hard by the downturn are now unsure of where to put their money, perhaps due to the aftereffects.
Should I invest in Bitcoin, which has reached a record high? Should I invest in stocks that seem poised to rise? Or should I stay safe and save?

It provides useful and realistic investment methods to investors in these situations.
The method recommended by author Buffett Taro is to create a "money machine" with dividend stocks that have both stability and growth potential among U.S. stocks, and enjoy the compounding effect of assets through dividend reinvestment.
This is a method that anyone can start with, even if they know nothing about stocks, don't speak English, or don't have a lot of money right away.

But why US stocks? The author attributes this to "differences in corporate culture regarding dividends."
America is a country that grew up on capitalism, so increasing dividends every year is part of corporate culture and pride.
The author also initially invested in Japanese stocks, but was unable to find stocks with a high global competitive edge in the Japanese stock market.
On the other hand, the U.S. stock market had many stocks with competitive advantages, overwhelming network effects, market share, and high operating profit margins.
In particular, there were more than 100 companies (dividend aristocrats) that had increased their dividends for more than 25 consecutive years.
Even when performance and stock prices temporarily declined, many companies paid dividends steadily, and even during the dot-com bubble burst and the financial crisis, they did not stop or reduce dividends but rather increased them.
It stands to reason that choosing stocks of such companies will help increase your assets.
The author, who barely made a profit by investing in Japanese stocks, became a billionaire by investing in American dividend stocks.

The 'strongest money machine' where money makes money
The power of dividend investing that puts time on your side!

When investing in stocks, you must first learn how to not lose money rather than how to make money.
For this reason, the author chose 'US dividend stocks' and aimed for maximum price increase through dividend reinvestment.
There are many companies in the U.S. stock market that increase their dividends every year while also outperforming the market average in terms of stock returns.
While there are various criteria for selecting stocks when investing, the author argues that even beginners can enjoy stable investment and asset growth by selecting stocks that consistently increase their dividends.
Companies that can consistently increase their dividends usually have strong business models, are relatively insensitive to economic conditions, and have stable cash flows.
Coca-Cola, P&G, and Johnson & Johnson, all well-known companies, are also among the continuously increasing dividend stocks mentioned by the author.
Even if the stock price of a continuously increasing dividend stock falls due to an economic downturn, you can purchase additional stocks with the dividends received, which allows you to aim for greater profits in the next upward trend.

So how do you create a money machine where money makes money with dividend stocks? The author advises building a structure that buys stocks for their dividends during bearish and correctional markets, and generates explosive returns during bullish and rising markets.
When constructing a Money Machine portfolio, stocks are selected by sector to ensure they are strong in each economic cycle, allowing them to respond to any economic situation.
We recommend investing in 8 to 10 stocks and dividing your investment funds evenly across them.
Above all, you should not delay reinvesting dividends because of the desire to pick up stocks from the bottom when the stock price falls.
Because the core of the money machine is dividend reinvestment.

Even in times of crisis and recession, my assets continue to rise steadily!

Buffett Taro says it bluntly in the introduction to the book.
In a capitalist society, being poor is your own fault.
You can only become rich if you can use the capitalist system.
Depending on whether or not you know how the world works, an irreversible wealth gap will arise in the future.
The wealth gap is already widening rapidly and significantly.
Now, we must break free from the fear of the "information underdog" who only thinks about principal guarantee and safety, and face and utilize the capitalist system.

The author also had to spend nearly 10 years struggling and failing to find this method.
This book is written for novice investors who, like past authors, are lost and hesitant.
This is to teach you how to invest in stocks successfully in any economic situation, and how anyone can build wealth with consistency.

The methods taught in this book won't make you rich overnight or make you a millionaire, but they will allow you to easily and conveniently enjoy the benefits of capitalism with little effort.
It is a relatively safe way to invest with low risk and steadily increase your assets.
Anyone can become rich slowly but surely by investing in US dividend stocks!
