Overview and Subscribe
In July 2009, The The D4L-Premium Services were launched with the serious dividend growth investor in mind. Being a serious dividend investor, I decided to give it a try in October 2009. I was so favorably impressed with the Dashboard, Analytical Reports, Alerts and other features, that I contacted D4L and asked about becoming an affiliate. Take a look at the information below and I think you too will be impressed. If you decide to subscribe, please use the link on this page so I will get credit for it.

D4L-Dashboard
"You See What I See"
What is the D4L-Dashboard?
For each stock that I track, I gather a significant amount of information - currently about 500 cells per stock. With over 100 securities tracked, this is just too much information to quickly and efficiently digest. So I developed a color coded dashboard that allows me to quickly absorb the information.What Information Is Included?
This link to a Sample Report will help you gauge the value of this premium service. Looking at the first column of this report, the green shading quickly identifies which stocks my model has flagged as buys. As with most dashboards, green is good while red is bad. The stocks are sorted by their Star rating then by dividend yield, from best to worse. Other information provided includes:- The stocks' yield is shaded green if greater than the minimum
- Calculated buy price
- Last price is shaded dark green if below the buy price, light green if less than 5% above the buy price
- In addition to price valuation described above, the other four components of the Star ratings are shown: Debt to Total Capital (Debt); Free Cash Flow Payout (FCF); Target (Target) and actual NPV MMA Diff. Color codes indicate a change in Stars from the prior week. An increase in Stars will show as green, a decrease will show as red and no change will continue show as white.
- When the stock's symbol is listed in the Buy column, it is the same as the green shading in column one, meaning my model has flagged it as a buy. An "x" means it is not a buy, while a "-" means it would have been a buy except for the "Note".
- The Note column is used to override a buy recommendation. Things sometimes happen quickly. Flat means the stock failed to raise its dividend; Debt means the stock is well outside my debt tolerance, a date means I have recently purchased it and it is not eligible to be purchased again until the noted month. A Debt/fcf flag in this column is an alert when the sum of the Debt and FCF columns are > 100% or FCF is a negative number.
- I am often asked how much of a stock do I own. The % Port and % Inc columns shows the stock as a percent of my income portfolio based on market value and annual income, respectively.
- The Updated column shows when the financials were last updated. Companies normally update their financials quarterly. The blue shading means my financial database for this company has been updated within the last 7 days. Market data such as price and yield are updated weekly.
- Reviewed is the last time I posted a full review of the stock on The DIV-Net or Dividends Value. Green shading means it has been six months since the last review and is eligible for another review.
- Days are how many days since the last review for certain stocks. When a stock is noted as On The Shelf due to not raising their dividends, this column displays estimated month and year when the dividend declaration will occur that ensures a year over year flat dividend.
- Finally, RQ, Risk and Risk # show the risk rating of the stock.
Why do I need D4L-Dashboard?
Even though I provide free detailed stock analysis on many dividend companies, the amount of preparation needed limits me to one analysis per week and I won't review that company again for at least six months. As we have all learned, things change quickly in the market. A strong buy three weeks ago may not still be a strong buy today.How does it work?
Each week I will update several stocks, along with my commentary and freshen the market data, then post the PDF to a secure area on my site that subscribers can access with their username and password. My goal is to have it posted by Sunday morning.
The D4L-Dashboard is not all. In August 2009, I added...
Analytical Reports
Each week, as part of the process of updating the D4L-Dashboard I look at several companies and either create a new analysis or freshen the data of an existing analysis.
Also, before I buy a company or publish a review of it, I will update its Analytical Report.
Good companies are not always good buys. Sometimes things change.
These updated analytical reports are available as premium content with new ones posted each weekend for subscribers.
This link to a Sample Analytical Report will let you see the wealth of information available.
My goal is to update each of the companies followed at least once a quarter and provide access to the most recent analytical report on the Analytical Report page.D4L-Alerts
In September 2009, D4L-Alerts was first introduced. Currently there are three types of alerts available to subscribers who have opted in:- Premium Content Updated: Whenever premium content is updated, an alert is sent to the group.
- Income Portfolio Buy or Sell: Whenever I make a buy or sell in my income portfolio, an alert is sent with information on the trade.
- Income Portfolio News: An alert is sent whenever I come across relevant and timely information, such as dividend cuts, related to key companies in the D4L-Dashboard. If you come across such information, forward it to me and I will alert the group.
D4L-Data
D4L-Data is an Open Office spreadsheet containing a significant amount of data on each of the dividend stocks that I track. The data is sortable and has built-in buttons and macros to make it easy to use. This spreadsheet requires Open Office, which is available for multiple platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac, Solaris, etc.) and in multiple languages. Click here to download a FREE copy of Open Office.
The D4L-Data spreadsheet has more than 20 columns of information on the 140+ companies that I track. This link to a Sample D4L-Data Spreadsheet will let you see the wealth of information available. Note that the sample spreadsheet is limited to 30 companies.
Some of the information included is: Yield, Div Growth Rate, Buy Price, Prem./ (Disc.), Stars, Debt To Tot. Cap., FCF Payout, NPV MMA Diff., Years of Div Grow, P/E, Risk Rating, and much more.
The D4L-Data spreadsheet is perfect for the times you want to sort data differently than what is available in the D4L-Dashboard and/or you want to screen the dividend stocks based on your unique criteria.
Pricing:
There is a great deal of work that goes into maintaining the database that feeds the D4L-Premium Services. In determining the price, I wanted to balance the effort involved with a level of pricing that would make the premium content easily affordable to any serious dividend investor. At chose $5.95 per month, less than a single commission at most brokers, this is one of the most affordable premium services. For those that prefer a longer term option, I offer a 12 month subscription for $65.45 (pay for the first 11 months and get the 12th month free!)
