In the summer more books are read, perhaps because reading in the outdoor natural light is wonderful. A recent book read called The Heist by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg, Bantam Books, NY , 2013 was well worth the time reading it. Within the book was a short line which all spy novels must do to achieve success – Logistics and resources are the key. If you start to think about that simple line you will notice most of what you do or try to do is captured in the line. To do something the planning starts and depending on what logistics and resources you have to make it work, will generally imply the scale you can do. If you start to stretch the line to companies – those that do well, execute well. They have the right product at the right time at the right place or logistics and resources are working well.

Linking to dividend producing stocks as the company grows and pays a dividend it is sometimes hard for an investor to determine if the company is doing the right thing all the time. One of the keys is to look at its logistics and resources – how does it get the right product to the right place at the right time to be bought? This is one of the methods as an individual you can do research on the companies shares you own or considering buying. How well does your company do the logistics and resources?

There are more questions than answers, till the next time – to raising questions.
