Mike: I am working on an article for publication next week on the “4% withdrawal rate” you might find interesting. Sorry, I am not aware of any resources to help you with your portfolio conversion. Needless to say your money managers will not be happy.

Best Wishes,
D4L

Thanks, D4L for your site. I am 68yo recent retired small business owner & have been using a professional investment firm to manage 40 stocks in a growth portfolio benchmarked to the MSCI worldwide index. Had been planning on 4% annual drawdown as source of income within 2 years.
Having lurked as a newbie on your website now for the past 6 months or so, & having developed a high regard for the common sense nature of your investment philosophy, I would like to begin an orderly conversion into dividend stocks within the portfolio to reduce portfolio management costs & benefit from rising dividends over time.
Besides subscribing to your Dashboard and learning otherwise by the school of hard knocks, are there any other sites/sources with experience in “intelligent” portfolio conversions of this type that you know of?
Regards,
Mike Myers

Sorry to turn up at your party so late. Hope you'll accept my heartiest congratulations on your first anniversary and all the very best for many more to come.

Unfortunately I have not run into any Malaysian equity investment blogs that are as focussed as yours is.

I suppose absence does make the heart grow fonder.

Best regards

D4L,
Congratulations on first year. Late 2007, I came across your blog thru "The Dividend Guy" blog. And didn't realize that D4L was a startup. Perhaps it was professional touch and detail analysis that shrouded the newness!! In addition to your weekly analysis, I enjoy reading your short snippets. It helps keep investor emotions on check.

Great job!!
Looking forward to this next year.

Thanks again and keep up the great work.

All: Thanks for the congratulations and kind words. I look forward to many great years ahead and can truly say I am proud to be part of this great dividend and value investing community!

Best Wishes,

p.s. It was a super homecoming, We won 35-0 and go to 9 and 0 on the year. With Texas' loss last night, we should move to #1 in the nation. Many of our toughest games are still ahead of us.

Great post – thanks for all the information and run down on who’s who and who’s doing what. I’ve just recently discovered the world of dividend and value investing bloggers. I appreciate this information.

Congratulations on your first year, too.

Woohoo party time!

Congrats on the 1yr anniversary. Sure seems to have gone by quickly.

I want to give many thanks to you and the network because if I was just blogging on my own, I would probably have only lasted a few months.

Have fun with the family!
