Compiling the Watch List


My watch list is a subset of Dave Fish's CCC stocks (Champions, Contenders, and Challengers) and a few non-CCC holdings in DivGro. I use the following screens on the CCC list:
  1. Market Cap ≥ $500 million
  2. No stocks that are being acquired, or over-the-counter (OTC) or pink sheet stocks
  3. Dividend Yield ≥ 2% for Challengers
  4. Dividend Yield ≥ 1% for Contenders and Champions
I remove stocks from my watch list if they are removed from the CCC list. The only exception is for stocks I own, which I keep in the watch list until I decide to sell them. 


Current Targets


My watch list is dynamic and, therefore, my sector distribution also is dynamic. I simply target a proportional distribution for DivGro. As the watch list distribution changes, so do the sector targets for DivGro. The following table presents my current sector targets and the actions needed to match my watch list's sector distribution:
