Dividend Detective
A real time saver for those interested in a value portfolio.
They never try to sell you anything and you pay monthly for a long as you want.
Harry Domash is highly regarded among his piers.

Harry cuts out all the leg work for you. I downloaded all the various catagory information and it made a good basis to complete my DD on selected stocks, MLP’s etc. An excellent value!
Review by Roy Dillow, April 28, 2009
Began subscription after the “crash”. Liked Harry’s style and apparent commitment to his clients. Newsletter and condensed version of same are easy to read/use. He has had some big losers which he readily admits. Clearly he has not real insights as to what the market or a particular stock will do, but he pays attention to public and quasi public news and he really understands the fundamentals of a company. Low price and therefore one really has to do the homework to ensure a “buy” is wise. He also gives instruction/insights on the items he evaluates and how to calculate same.

This is an excellent newsletter, especially for people who seek dividends from stocks. I really don’t have any complaints at all at this time. The research is thorough and the advice is sound. The fee is reasonable considering that you can get that and more back in dividends from the stocks.

Harry Domash’s Dividend Detective service has made an important contribution to my investing success over the past 18 months of market volatility. I am retired and live almost entirely on my investment income. I also subscribe to The Motley Fool and Dividend.com. Dividend Detective has been the most useful to me; Motley Fool does too much marketing of their services and Dividend.com has been worthless.
I have an investment strategy that I have developed myself, which uses the underlying economic theory of commercial real estate investing, which is that the only economically valid reason for investing in an asset is for the value of its future income stream. Jeremy Siegel also makes this assertion in his book, Stocks for the Long Run.
Even though I take out several hundred thousand a year from my portfolio for living expenses and make no additional contributions to it, the portfolio market value is now 7.5% above its all-time high in October 2007, while the S&P500 sits at 26% BELOW its October 2007 high after increasing more than 50% since last March. The income approach to value drives my personal investing strategy, rather than the market approach to value and trying to win with capital gains. The Dividend Detective information service supports my personal investing approach very well.
Review by Dave Bigos, January 18, 2010
My 25 year career of assisting buyers and sellers with their real estate needs was wipe out because of the results of sub prime. I was not one of those big hitters I was a little guy who made a living helping families find their dream home. I was out of business and needed to replace my lost real estate income so I could provide for my family.
I have been an individual investor for years but our portfolio was based on aggressive growth and not income. I needed a new investment strategy and education as to how to change our portfolio to produce income and not just capital gains .
I had seen many of Harry Domash’s articles on MSN’s Money site .I read most of them and even purchased a few more aggressive ones he recommended but I did nothing with the income ones he mentioned. That was going to change.
I reviewed the web site Dividend Detective and said lets try it. My wife Marsha is so glad I did . Harry Domash’s Dividend Detective website and news letter has helped reach goals in a year that I thought would take 5years to do so and with out huge risks. Our dividend income is growing as well as the stocks climbing in price.
Thanks to you Harry and the entire staff at Dividend Detective we are more then half way to replacing my former real estate income with dividend income. It looks like we will be able to reach our goal of replacing the entire income with dividends in 2 years.
We would not have been able to accomplish this performance with out your research
and recommendations.
When people ask how am I so successful I proudly say
“with the help of Dividend Detective”
Thanks,
Dave Bigos

I strongly recommend this service, both for accuracy and value for money. I gave two items 4 out of 5 stars simply because nobody gets it right all the time. And just giving everything 5 stars looks like a rubber stamp.
I have subscribed to the service for well over three years and have found the service very useful in identifying dividend paying stocks, ETFs and Preferreds.
I trade futures and options for a living and so needed something low risk and sensible for my retirement account. DD matched my requirements. Despite going through the March 2009 drop my retirement portfolio is up (bolstered by dividends) which I am very happy with. (I buy every stock and ETF he recommends.)
Recently the service introduced bonds which seems useful although I have not used it. That said, I did email Harry Domash asking whether he could include the CUSIP to make finding bonds easier. Within a few weeks he had obliged.
There is also a recently introduced section that instructs readers on doing their own dividend research.
If you are at all interested in dividend paying stocks then this service will definitely help you. And the low cost cannot be beaten.
Review by Dale, January 26, 2010
Simple but very informative service. A lot of good information on Dividend Stocks, MLP’s and Preferreds. I like the fact that they keep it simple and straightforward. Met Harry at the Money Show last year and signed up for his service and have been pleased since. Even his free service is solid and a good resource for any investor. Definately worth checking out.
