| Dividend Tip Jar |
Once you’ve worked through your initial screens (Div
Tip #17) you’ll need to dig further into your investment targets to make
selections. Dividend Farmers
cue off Ben
Graham when exploring the fundamentals of a target firm.
Length of dividend history, market cap size, position
relative to competitors, price-to-book value, average earnings, and
debt-to-equity are among the metrics of choice when assessing a firm’s
potential earnings strength and stability relative to the risk
it bears. Investing, not speculating, is
the name of the game.
Being unfamiliar with Ben’s value benchmarks requires
following Div
Tip #9 and learning about them.
Additional
resources and links to
resources to help you master the metrics of Dividend Farming are
readily available. Dividend Farming
focuses on the data and analysis rather than the emotion. Don’t relegate your investment decisions to
emotion. Know your metrics. Reduce your risk. Improve the odds of success. Sleep soundly as you farm your way to a
better future.
