Another place to get information is from Value Line Investment Survey. I don't know if there are copies at a nearby library such as Ocala - you may have to go all the way to Orlando. Value Line has historical data as well as analyses of 1,200 stocks. I use it for the historical data mostly, then make my own decision as to what I want to buy. The editors have a number of pages where they screen the stocks for dividends, potential growth, safety, and other factors derived from theis analyses. A really useful publication. My wife subscribes to it even though it is expensive as we consider we need the reference data if we are to manage our financial affairs so our money lasts until we croak. I bought a half dozen dividend-paying stocks a year or two ago and have make out very well. But I'm like Boomer, buy a good stock and hold on to it.
