A Quantified S&P500 Dividend Strategy by Cesar Alvarez

Cesar will be sharing the results of my testing to create a quantified dividend strategy based on the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats. Cesar will start with the simple idea and show how adding simple rules can improve the results. Cesar will compare these results to NOBL, the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF, and to the SPY to determine if the final results justify the work
