I was reading the book "Little Book of Dividends - A Safe Formula for Guaranteed Returns".

This is the filter he calls "Payout Ratio".

Payout Ratio


Rules from chapter:
- Ignore stocks with payout ratio > 60%
- Find stocks with a Quadrix score above 75
*/

set{ divYear, dividend }
set{earnings, Trailing EPS}

set{payoutRatio, divYear / earnings }
set{shares, 1000/close}
set{myVal, shares * divYear }

payoutRatio below .60

and earnings above 0
and divYear above 0
and myVal above 20
and volume above 100000
and since dividend below 95


set{ CurrDiv, dividend / close }
set{ CurrDivPct, CurrDiv * 100 }

add column payoutRatio
add column divYear
add column earnings{Yearly EPS}
add column since dividend {since_div}
add column eps
add column dividend {dividend}

add column dividend yield {div yield}
add column CurrDivPct{Current Div Pct}
add column myVal{Value}
add column industry
add column market

The books seems to give a good strategy for the Dividend focused investor.

Has any read the book or have experience with the BSD formula?

This is not an exact match to the BDS stocks list but it is close.

Thanks Yepher this backtests pretty well with 2 stocks/day @ 5K ea, 3% profit stop and rsi(2) cross above 80 exit and the added tweeks. Still no win in the May thru Aug 2011 (black hole). I would also try to exit if close dropped below chandelier exit, although this didn't test well.

@duke56468

Thanks for the information. Does the back test take into account dividends as part of gains or does it only look at stock price?
