David Fish, on Seekingalpha has a "U.S. Dividend Champions" spreadsheet (or PDF), of a few hundred dividend companies.
I ran across it a while back, and it was a little over my head.. i'm going to take a look at it again..
Anyone else use this for help "finding" (not necessarily, choosing) their stocks?
Here is his most recent article about it, and updated spreadsheet: http://seekingalpha.com/article/4722...-now-with-beta |
I looked at this some time ago -- way too much info and not organized in a helpful useful way.
Schwab has tools that can help you set criteria you want to search for and then narrow your focus.
The problem for most people with investing -- is when they start to only look at numbers and don't really know the company or have any "faith" in the company. Next thing that happens is something (the market maybe) blows up and they start looking to bail. That's why I say - if a guy has 100K to invest - just start by looking up the companies that you use - buy from - are around the streets you drive down... then compare those to similar businesses -- and this will give you a good start.
