This is a repost from Dividends4Life.I find this type of detailed process from another discipline to be most beneficial in improving my own investing discipline and feel it will help all investors.

Dividends4Life is dedicated to the process of identifying superior dividend investments. The site’s focus is on stock analysis, dividend education, retirement planning and developing a positive winning attitude in life.
