SA article on a "rules based" approach to dividend growth investing ===== BUY Stock is on the CCC list Pay out ratio under 60% Chowder Rule - Yield + 5 year dividend growth rate over 12% 10 year uptrend in earnings (as shown on the FAST graph) Quality rating of A- or better from S&P. Originally I was planning on using the S&P star ratings, but then I was informed that this is a measure of value, where what I was really looking for was a measure of the quality of the company. The S&P Quality Rating measures stability of the earnings and the dividend, so this fits my needs better. Stock appearing to be undervalued based on its FAST Graph. David Fish (The CCC list), Chuck Carnevale (FAST Graphs) and S&P have already done a lot of hard work to evaluate dividend growth stocks. I see no reason for me to duplicate what they have already done. Plus, I'm sure they have done it a lot better then I could. By using their work and screening by the above criteria I can scan the entire 400+ stocks on the CCC list, and pick out qualifying stocks, in about an hour.
