I have been reading many of your articles. I read this one on 8 dividend stocks and have been trying to duplicate your stock rover views that you show. For the life of me I don't seem to be able yet to create a view like yours. I will write to SR and see if they can help. Could you please send me the views that you are showing (Dividend above 8%) which I think can be exported to a .txt file and shared with other Stock Rover users. On their website it says To export a view, right-click on the view tab and select ‘Export’. To import a Stock Rover view, right-click on the view and select ‘Import’ then browse to the file. I hope that you can forward me the file. All the best, Victor
We knew a Wight Martingale in NYC back in the late 60s early 70s. I think he went on to be a very successful investment banker.
In addition to SR, I recommend Barchart.com, which makes it easier to evaluate stock momentum while SR is the place to evaluate values. Some SA writers offer very good pieces on individual and groups of stocks while others seem to tout their market places with boiler plate every day.
I've just started using SR a couple of weeks ago attempting to get a handle on it. I appreciate your comments that I discovered on the blog. I have used Fast Graphs for the past 4 years and have found it very helpful in identifying dividend oriented stocks. I also do covered calls and naked puts. Once I get use to SR I think it will help in a variety of ways that Fast Graphs does not. In 1994 my businesses were doing well so I decided to start trading with a friend of mine who had been trading for 20 years and was very successful. So 3 times a week I would get up at 5:30, pick my friend up in Woodside and head up to San Francisco in the financial district. He taught me well and I did well. We only traded MO and Disney but back then the spread were a quarter and we had a direct line to the specialist. Anyways, it started to be a losing proposition once the spread narrowed (around 1999) and now I wouldn't touch trading with spreads at a penny as I got a bit humbled at the end.
Hi Patrick, I'm using wsj.com, Bloomberg.com, seekingalfa.com, stockrover.com, Barchart.com, stockcharts.com, OptionsPlay.com and cws.com. At the moment, Barchart is my main go-to for trend info and seeking alpha has the best articles by authors, but Barchart's authors are very good, too, I think. You also can search company names on Bing, Google or Yahoo. DuckDuck Go is worthless when it comes to options. I wonder what sites my readers are subscribing too.
On Substack.com, the going rate for paid finance sites is about $330 per year. OptionsPlay is about $700 per year.. I paid $500 a year for a site like mine until the writer died. He didn't write or post anywhere as much as I do. Another SeekingAlpha site charged $700 a year, seldom published and seldom responded to commenters and didn't stay in business very long.
I'm guessing that if I charged $40 a month, or $480 a year, the site would easily pay for itself as long as subscribers did one or two moderately risky trades on $50 to $150 stocks.
In addition to the paid services mentioned above, I also watch some free sites like Stocktwits.com.

Don,
Do you create your own views in SR or use there views which are already created by SR?
Thank you, Victor
Hi, Victor, On StockRover and Barchart, I create views and use some house views. You?
Hi Don. I am curious, how many paid services or filters are you using currently?
Stock Rover, Options Play, and what else?
Thanks,
Patrick
