I guess the subject says it all. However, I shall try to add a bit to my question. Many stocks and ETFs pay monthly, quarterly, and /or yearly dividends. Are they included in the "fundamental" data associated with the equities in TC200x? If so, how are they to be accessed and sorted upon? I've not seen any references to looking at yields, but they are vital to many of us elderly people to aid in choosing which stock to hold and provide a good income to augment our Social Security receipts.

i've had luck looking at cefs and comparing NAV s to Mkt prices . Very subjective but finding a sector or bundle that has a Nav higher than Mkt and some BOP
as well as TSV ( although I have considered a neg tsv as a cyclical opportunity in these cases) Think these corp Equity Cefs will climb as interest rates go up. Compare late 90's to current Mkt

Guess I missed your Dividend question .
The div might come down on some of these etfs or cefs as the Mkt approaches the NAV ( or passes it )
But you can protect a capital gain vs the Div if you control your stops I may be looking this a different way. hope it helps

Dividend Yield and Dividend Growth Rate 5-year are conditions already in the system. You can scan or sort based on either.
