I'll try and answer your multiple questions:
1. I manage several portfolios for myself and family. I have about
20-25% dedicated to high dividend stocks in each.
2. I'm going to try and not get too greedy this time (I've done this
strategy before, but liquidated it) and do a buy and hold on these -
selling them when the fundamentals get weak (SS < 5) or if they show
a loss of > 0.8% of total portfolio value.
3. Once they pass the Hi Div & SS screens, then I do a simple chart
with a EMA50 and just look at how the price is behaving - a few get
dropped if the chart looks bad - lots of gaps or high price
volatility. Generally high dividend stocks are bought for the
dividend rather than trading vehicles.
4. When do I buy? - I have a general stock market timing system
based on stocks in the SP500 - it uses multiple indicators. I wait
for that system to flash a buy, then I 'pile on'. The last big buy
signal was mid October, 2005 which is when most of this portfolio
was bought.
5. I trade several strategies
***** 20% to hi dividend and they are Buy&Hold (for now).
***** 15% each to ETF switching (US Sectors, PowerShares, Global
ETFs) based on a ranking system.
**** 15% to ValueLine #1 Stocks. The indicators are easy buy &
harder to sell for these fundamentally strong stocks.
**** The balance is cash used for stock index futures (YM, ES,
ER2, NQ ) to hedge.
**** I day-trade the indexes occasionally - I have a system that
flashes 1-2 signals per day plus a next day indicator. It's a bad
habit - I'm trying to kick it.
All of the trading systems have the ability to go to 100% cash if
the markets get stinky. I have a dozen or so proprietary indicators
that drive the whole mess.
