Dividends. Let’s say I buy a stock for $10 and it pays me $.25 each quarter as a dividend. This means that I am getting a 10% return on my money with no increase in the value of the stock. Dividend stocks are generally thought of as “retirement” stocks. You just hold onto them year after year, living off of the dividends.

You can get dividend history for stocks at Yahoo Finance (many years),  StreetInsider.com (7 years),

The following are some articles about dividend stocks:

Chartist Stuff – There are people (Chartists) who say ignore the fundamentals of a stock. Face it! The market is irrational and the only thing that really matters is the direction of a stock and there are really only two directions – up and down. The Chartists believe in looking at the charts to see what is going on. I think there is some credibility to be found in this approach.

The indicators that Chartists use are part of apackage referred to as Technical Analysis (TA). TA uses indcators. The three most common indicators are: Stochastics, RSI and MACD.

ETFs. You can’t do Value Investing with ETFs. But, you can mimic the Index Investing that John C Bogel made popular with his books and Vanguard. You just have to do it with “sector indexes” that mimic broader market indexes.

ETFs do not have the traditional P/E, debt/equity, 5 year returns, ROE or other fundamental numbers that apply to Vlue Investing. What’s left are performance numbers (returns) and sector evaluation.

Seeking Alpha – This is a great recap of sector ETF movement.

etf.com – The performance tab on this page will let you sort by performance. Good way to find potential ETF buys. 

etfdb.com – See if there is anything here worth using.

Morningstar – rates ETFs.

Barchart – Rates ETFs really well.

etfscreen.com – This site has a “relative strength index” that looks promising.

swingtradebot.com – Interesting website.

Benzinga – Investigate to see what’s there.

Tom Lydon, ETFTrends.com’s founder, uses the 200-day line as a simple buy and sell signal. He buys when an ETF crosses above its 200-day line and sells when it falls about 8% off its 52-week high.

Fund Flows – Are they significant? How so?

etf analytics scoring methodology – ETF.com - Good ETF discussion.

TD Ameritrade – Think risk, ratings, classification, etc.
