David P. Van Knapp

I write for self-directed individual investors who want to profit from the stock market through capital gains, dividends, or both. My books are step-by-step guides that present straightforward systems for picking, valuing, and managing stocks. I do not attempt to dazzle, but rather to inform, educate, and guide. I write in a conversational style suitable for beginners and experienced investors alike.

My first book is SENSIBLE STOCK INVESTING: How to Pick, Value, and Manage Stocks, which was published in 2008. I also produce an annual e-book on dividend investing. The current edition is TOP 40 DIVIDEND-GROWTH STOCKS FOR 2011: How to Create Wealth or Income with Dividend-Growth Stocks. It is available from my Web site, www.SensibleStocks.com.
