From the book 'The Stockopoly Plan' by the author Charles M. O'Melia

There are several factors an investor in the stock market should consider:

1. All stock purchases should be commission-free.

2. All stocks purchased should be from a company that has a history of raising their dividends every year.

3. The company should not only have a history of raising their dividend every year, but should also show price appreciation in the market place, on a year to year basis.

4. All dividends from the companies should be rolled-over into more shares of the company, until retirement. This should be done by the company, for the shareholder, commission- free.

5. The companies purchased should have staggered dividend pay-out dates so the income from 12 companies will provide the shareholder cash dividend income every week of the year. No more than 12 companies should be owned, otherwise, you’re probably spreading your money too thin.
