Dividend Paying Large Caps

The model invests in dividend-paying large capitalization stocks, with the goals of long-term capital growth and current income.
I am a value investor, an investment philosophy that boils down to investing in undervalued, under-researched and unpopular companies. Reasons for one of these three elements can differ. Some examples: special situations (e.g. a spin-off or turnaround), analyst coverage (e.g. low coverage or very negative coverage), investor fatigue (e.g. due to earnings misses), market cap (e.g. under the institutional level for market cap), misunderstood parts of the business (e.g. holdings companies), or cyclicals (e.g. sell-side often doesn't manage to look through the cycle).
I research my investments from multiple sources. One of my favorite techniques is to take advantage of the collective intelligence from highly specialized communities such as Valueforum or Seeking Alpha. I also use different online tools for security analysis such as YCharts or Wikinvest and carefully study annual reports and financial statements before investing.
I typically maintain 20 stocks on my portfolio at a time. I believe this quantity is a reasonable number to lessen risk while maintaining control of my positions. Usually the top third of my positions constitute up to 50% of my portfolio by value. I have an investment horizon of about three years, but I will rebalance earlier if any of my positions becomes overvalued or if business conditions change.
I sell for two reasons: the security in question becomes overvalued or because business conditions have changed. If the company’s growth continues at a reasonable rate and business conditions prevail, my positions will remain unchanged. However, I may close a position if I believe better opportunities exist.
I will give up a position if I believe that the stock is a value trap and it is going nowhere, even if the company’s prospects appear healthy and prosperous.
