Portfolio123 Dividend Fun

Every single person can "backtest" his own stuff.
David Van Knap even went through the trouble of keeping a live-cash investment account in order to demonstrate the power of dividend investing and it's all offered freely.

You come here claiming you have a "crystal ball" that tells you when/how to hedge and expect people to trust you and then pay you to share that crystal ball with them based on nothing but results that as far as anyone here can tell may be fabricated (or back-tested, we don't know because you aren't giving us any information that is required to tell the difference).

As for myself I don't believe in crystal balls and I did back-testing of my own.
I used the following strategy which you can check for yourself:
1. Get the list of companies in David Fish's CCC list on December 2007
2. Use LongRunData website to simulate a purchase of $1000 in each company in December 2007 through September 2014.
3. Try to track down companies that changed names or were merged.
4. See the total sum of money you got from all of them.

I managed to get 77% return while the S&P got 36% (IIRC) in those 6.5 years and I wasn't able to track down all the companies so the real return should have been higher.

So there you have a real test which includes the strategy that everybody here can use and I don't charge anyone anything for it!

You keep trying to sell your crystal ball if you want to, I won't be buying it...
