And while I'm thinking of work for others to do lol ...............
Top 10 financial ratios one should check so they have some idea what they are buying. I know the following info is scattered around the internet. The basic info one should quickly master if they wish to have any long-term success with individual stocks, and more specifically dividend stocks.
Off the top of my head, PE, FWD PE, DIV Yield, DIV % Growth historical, FCF, DIV Pay-out ratio, REV growth historical and projected, Total debt to equity or market cap, credit rating. A person with your knowledge could add 30 more metrics but that wouldn't be appropriate for a 101 level article. I realize the commenters on SA might wreck such an article by over-complicating it, but it would be great on your website, and for the hundreds that monitor but never post this site. I hate that I see so many kids with a new Div port that is 75%+ train-wreck looking for a crash site. They simply have no idea what they were doing other than seeing a large Div payout and hitting the buy button.
Anyway, your past writings give me the impression you are trying to help others rather than impress them. I have definitely learned from you.
