Now, on to our episode! Are you investing in dividend stocks to help build your future nest egg? Or, maybe you’re retired and just looking to add some extra income to your savings? Well, whether you’re investing in dividends-- or not-- dividend investing typically makes a lot of sense. My guest today, Prakash Kolli, is an expert on dividend investing, especially when it comes to U.S. stocks.

In this episode, Prakash shares with us lots of useful information, including (1) what the different types of stock dividends are, (2) the demographics of dividend investors, (3) recent trends in the interest-- or lack of interest-- in dividend investing, (4) the appeal of U.S. dividend stocks to people outside of the U.S., and (5) considerations in determining whether you should invest in individual dividend stocks vs. in a mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. He also expresses his perspectives on how dividend stock investing will evolve through the rest of this decade.

Most importantly, Prakash shares some of his favorite industries and stocks right now for dividend investing, and he provides some great tips on how to get started in dividend investing, if you are not already doing so.

Now a bit about Prakash: Prakash Kolli is the founder of the Dividend Power site. He is a self-taught investor and blogger on dividend growth stocks, financial independence, and retirement. His writings are on Seeking Alpha, InvestorPlace, TalkMarkets, ValueWalk, The Money Show, Forbes, Yahoo Finance, MSN, and leading financial sites.
