This site is excellent. I've been reading it end to end and updating my own dividend analysis strategy based on some of the ideas here.<BR/><BR/>I would like to understand your reply to Chris's comment on how you assess your Risk/Quality analysis.<BR/><BR/>If GE is more likely to have something bad happen to their business doesn't that mean that something bad is more likely to happen to their

Chris: The Qualitative Risk Assessment (letter) and S&amp;P Quality Ranking (number) are independent of each other, to an extent. In the example you asked about, GE with a B rating is at a higher risk than USB with an A ranking of operationally failing (e.g. bankrupting, etc.) However, GE with a Quality rank of 1 means its growth and stability of earnings and dividend is more predictable/likely

How are your RQ Ratings ranked? Is an A# always higher than a B#? Or is, say, a B1 higher than a A3 or A4? Is GE more or less risky than USB in your example above? In other words, do you give more weight to the Qualitative Risk Assessment or the Quality ranking or are they considered equal?<BR/><BR/>I'm really enjoying your site.

wow this is an excellent thought out process you have here.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip, I think I should start something similar and start rating each company I look into.
