      I could yes… but in this page the titles are sorted alphabetically, and not by rating, since it is partially accessible to non-members. Even if the name of the Stock is not visible, the smart ones can indeed easily follow the trail… 🙂

      So I should add a last column with the rating, not accessible to non-members, but the sorting would not be done by this last column. And unlike other tables, this one cannot be sorted by the user by clicking on the column of his choice.

      So I don't think it's much help to you?

        Hi Verbalkint

        The blue lines correspond to the titles that have just changed rating.

            Hello Nuno
            Thank you for your assiduity.
            – the Growth column is based on a period of 4 to 5 years, depending on certain criteria specific to the algorithm used to calculate the rating
            – no unfortunately Yahoo does not give this indication
            – the Std is calculated over 5 years. I do not give it in euros, it would become too heavy to calculate for both currencies and would not bring much. The CHF and the euro behave in a much more coherent way than the USD indeed.
            – for $risk see:

            happy holidays

              Also know that I am testing a new feature that will considerably facilitate your life as an investor. If the tests are conclusive, I will be able to make it available to my members during 2016.

                    Salut Lionel
                    Bienvenue ici. Passer des penny stocks aux dividendes ça fait un sacré saut !
                    Je ne connais pas très bien les valeurs dont tu parles mais a priori il s’agit plutôt de valeurs à rendements élevés ?

                      Hi Florent
                      Thank you for your compliments.
                      Regarding the $risk, if you don't want to rack your brains, I advise you to use the value as is, even if it is based on the CHF rather than the euro. Indeed, the monetary policies of the ECB and the SNB are closer than those of the FED. If you really want to get the figure with the euro, you have to convert the US stock price into euros, then calculate the correlation with the value in USD. This is relatively tedious to do if you want to do it manually for each stock.

                        Good morning
                        I give on this site the history of dividends followed by title
                        otherwise there is Yahoo Finance which gives the fundamentals of the securities and the history of the dividends, downloadable in csv

                          Hello plan-b

                          Thank you for your compliments first of all.
                          As for the famous Yield, you have to be careful because everyone has their own methodology. Overall, the value indicated on most serious sites is correct, but you have to know what you are talking about:
                          – first we need to see how dividends that are paid several times a year are counted. Some multiply the last dividend paid by the annual frequency, others take the sum of dividends paid during the last 12 months
                          – then there are indeed sometimes problems with European titles which are listed in NY… it’s a Yahoo classic
                          – as you mention there are also exceptional dividends which are sometimes, but not always taken into account

                          Personally I have to say that I prefer them not to be rated. I am not a fan of these exceptional dividends. Of course, it is always a good surprise, but I prefer a predictable company, which offers reasonable and above all increasing dividends year after year. So you have your answer to your subsidiary question…
                          This is also why I don't focus too much on the Yield, it is by far not the most important indicator. Besides, I prefer to use an average yield to avoid signals that would be distorted because of a sudden drop in prices or other elements that would pollute this indicator (such as exceptional dividends for example).

                          Good scholarship.

                              Well, quite simply because it's easy to fall quickly when you're very high, and conversely to rise very quickly when you're very low.
                              With markets at very high levels like we are experiencing at the moment, there are fewer and fewer new buyers and less and less cash to invest. Everyone is already in the market. The market is rising less and less quickly, it is settling down, then people start to feel nervous. There are fixed stops that are triggered, there are other smart guys who start to think that it is becoming interesting to play on the downside and the machine goes wild. All the guys who arrived last, the suckers who don't know much about the stock market, panic. They bought high, they have just lost 10% in a week and they are starting to sell at a loss. Since there are many in this situation, it creates a mass effect. And it continues until, much later, more savvy investors, opportunity seekers, arrive to buy at a good price. Then the market can start to rise again very strongly.
                              But you're right, markets fall much faster than they rise. Apparently man panics faster than he becomes greedy...

                                I think they are partly wrong. It is true that in the long term stocks yield the most and that it is very easy to miss big bullish moments if you stay partly on the sidelines of the market. But on the other hand I think that you should always keep some cash aside, especially when the markets become overbought as is the case at the moment (and the current correction does not change anything). You have to keep some ammunition to pull the trigger when stocks become interesting again, as was the case in 2003 or 2009. Otherwise you really end up stupid…

                                  in truth I especially like companies that distribute an average dividend… not too much (because it is not sustainable and because of the tax) and still a little, to have income
                                  the best is a distribution ratio between 30 and 60%
                                  I don't like buying/selling for capital gains because it's too much work :)
                                  and then the courses, it's still very often linked to the collective hysteria of the moment, a little too volatile for my taste, unlike dividends
                                  I also prefer to keep the companies to increase my return on purchase cost
                                  on the other hand I am still thinking about a slightly different approach, a 5th strategy, which would not rely on dividends at all! and which would not require too much work either once it is in place 🙂
                                  news in a few weeks or months, because it will take me a bit of work to develop this idea
