Stocks 1

I have been seriously into stocks since the early 1990's and into options for the past several years. Since early 2010 I've become particularly interested in dividend growth stocks to hold for the long term. In conjunction with that I occasionally use options to boost performance. Prior to that, made and lost a lot of money in the market with each boom and bust.

Since late 2010 I have been working on a system for picking dividend growth stocks with the best potential for sustainable growth. The system ranks the stocks based on their Potency Score, a metric I have devised that uses a multitude of fundamental, valuation, performance, and other data and their inter-relations to forecast a stock's ability for ...More sustainable dividend growth. A stock with such ability is bound to also produce respectable capital gains. My math background has come handy in the process.

I have also created a 12-ETF portfolio strategy named The Immortal Portfolio, which is intended to beat the market in the long run. I have described both of these systems in my SA articles.

Currently working a full time job (non-financial business) and managing my own personal investment accounts.

I don't think the huge run up in these stocks is sustainable: J.C. Penney (JCP), Kinder Morgan (KMP), and McDonald's (MCD). Jan 28, 2012
