Open source investing

I've just realized that I haven't really been that open with what I'm doing as far as my investments go. So here's a link to the Google Spreadsheet that I'm using to track my research into high dividend stocks. If you have questions, please comment on this post and I'll do my best to answer them.

Dividends

I've been working on a way to focus my investments into the highest possible dividend yield, and just discovered that Sharebuilder has upgraded their Dividend Reinvestment abilities. We can now change how dividends and capital gains are reinvested down to the individual stocks. That's really cool.

The list I'm collecting has some stocks that are currently paying up to 40% yield. I don't have a lot of money to put into them, but the money I am putting in is growing fast. I'm also focusing on monthly dividend stocks so they compound faster. As long as I keep my eye on things, they'll be growing pretty fast.

Let me know if you want to know more.
