How To Pick The Winners From The Dividend Champions

In March, I applied a quantitative selection tool, the Value Portfolio Model for the list of Dividend Champions after being directed to the CCC list by David Fish. The Seeking Alpha community is very interested in the Dividend Champions list David publishes every month, so I thought it would be interesting to see how the model has performed and what it recommends today, given the recent market correction.

While I can say that I have used this simple model to make some of my best market outperforming investments from 2009 to 2012, I cannot say I will pick the winners going forward. Having squeaked out a positive differential return over the market is something, being able to do so over the long run is the ultimate challenge. I will continue to monitor and report results whether they defend or obfuscate my initial hypotheses.
