About DIV-Net

DIV-Net is a network of investors focused on dividend investing, value investing and a long-term buy and hold philosophy. The membership consists of:

• Founding members: The original 3 members that set up DIV-Net
• Charter members: Up to 4 additional members added prior to DIV-Net's launch
• Members: Those chosen to replace any of the above who leave the network

These Core Members are responsible for maintaining and administering The DIV-Net site and the DIV-Net network. This is where some networks stop. However, we so strongly believe in the virtues of dividend investing, value investing and a long-term buy and hold philosophy and did not want to limit DIV-Net to just seven members.

In our desire to include as many bloggers that are interested in dividend investing, value investing and a long-term buy and hold philosophy, we created an Associate Membership.

We want The DIV-Net site to be a destination. In addition to an aggregated feed of our members, each day a Core Member will publish an original best article, either theirs or one submitted by an Associate Member.

At The DIV-Net, we do things differently. Check us out, we think you will find we do things better!
