Excel Models
Presented here are some Excel models you might find useful:
D4L-PreScreen.xls from my article Pre-Screening Dividend Stocks – Part II. When done correctly, a thorough quantitative and qualitative evaluation takes a significant amount of time to complete. This model helps to determine which stocks are worthy of that level of evaluation.

DFL-Portfolio.xls is a subset of my Portfolio tab contained within one of my two financial spreadsheets. It illustrates several basic concepts as noted in these articles:

JackJill.xls from my articles Passing the Torch – Part 1 of 2 and Passing the Torch – Part 2 of 2. This model will allow you to enter the value of your equity investments next to your age, your expected rate of return, along with future contributions and it will then estimate your equity balance at retirement.
10-Year-Inv-Calc.xls from my article Reaching Your 10-Year Investing Goal. A useful model to help you calculate and set a 10 year goal. The model is flexible and allows you to vary and experiment with most of the inputs.
