FCFY in AAII Stock Investor Pro

When it comes to stocks, I like to do my own work and if I can do reproducible research.

Purpose of the post is to show a way to get a certain financial metric that is not easy to find.

I read in an article called Forget About Dogs Of The Dow In 2019, Upgrade To Dobermans about Free Cash Flow Yield.

FCF yield is a replacement for normail stock yield or stockholders yield when doing the final sort for a dogs of the dow strategey. It is defined as

\(Free Cash Flow Yield = \frac{Free Cash Flow per Share}{Market Price Per Share}\) [1]

or the custom field that I use in AAII Stock Investor Pro

100*[Free cash flow/share 12m]/[Price]

The "100 *" is ment to be to shift the decimal to the right. AAII Stock Investor Pro tends to only show two decimal points. Somes stocks have less than one percent FCFY.

The Dogs of the Dow strategy only asks one question: how cheap? And it makes a narrow comparison in delineating that by only considering dividend yields. The argument for the Dobermans is:

The Dobermans of the Dow is a better companion tool for investors, because it’s more dynamic. It starts by sorting Dow constituents by a quality metric (ROE). Then, among those higher quality names, it compares prices in a more universally applicable way (FCF yield)

2020 Personal Sail Log Summary

Last year, I sailed a lot. I think it would be fun to create a sailing log for myself. Still trying to figure out how to report it. I know for one thing, is that milage will be from dock to dock.

Road to a health bodyfat/bmi (redux)

This is one of my new years resolution: to relose my weight. I am as of the New Year, medically overweight.

Why is this journey going in as a blog entry? From what I read when you have accountablity you do a better job. As always, I like to have a record of my social media on my own site even though I am on My Fitness Pal.

Before I get started, here are some simple facts about obesity or being medically overweight: [AOBF2020]

  • The prevalence of obesity was 39.8% and affected about 93.3 million of US adults in 2015~2016

  • The prevalence of obesity was 39.8% and affected about 93.3 million of US adults in 2015~2016 Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer that are some of the leading causes of preventable, premature death.

  • The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the United States was $147 billion in 2008 US dollars; the medical cost for people who have obesity was $1,429 higher than those of normal weight.

As last time I tried my goal is to use percent bodyfat as my goal. Although I am looking for a 15% body fat, the range I am looking for is 15% to 17%. The numbers I plan to base it by my bodyfat on my Index scale and American Council on Excerse:

Description

Women

Men

Essential Fat

10-13%

2-5%

6-13%

Fitness

21-24%

14-17%

Acceptable

25-31%

18-24%

I hope that I do not fall on my face like the last time: Healthy BMI Reboot.

2020 Exercise Goals

GOALS

I plan on tracking in this post my exercise goals for 2020. For this post the goals are going to be triathalon based: cycling, running swimming. Although it does not include my other activities, I think it serves it purpose. My goal this year includes doing and actual sprint triathalon!

Even though my goals are significantly grater than what I did last year, I think that they are achievable.

Carl Sandburg's sea quote

Carl Sandburg is one of my favorite poets from my early University life. I been running across his poems again. That poet speaks to me. My position was aways that the Ocean demands respect. If you don't give it respect that the it demands, it will punish you without mercy.

"The sea speaks a language polite people never repeat. It is a colossal scavenger slang and has no respect."

—Carl Sandburg (1878-1967), U.S. poet. Two Nocturnes.

Holiday Regatta 2019 on Escape

Will write more later, just wanted to put up these pictures.

Escape sailed the 2019 SBYC Holiday Regatta. It was a two day event.

Sunday was interesting (Day 2). Heavy wind. We actually got up to 12.8 knotes on one run. We also had an encredible broach. I was thankful that no one was in the water.

A fellow captain told me this rule: If there are whitecaps, PFDs go on. On that day, it was word to the wise.

Day one path sailed:

Day two path sailed:

Great pictures for Sunday.

Been a long time since I broached Escape. This was intense.

SBYC Holiday CHRF 2019 on j/70 Escape

A small warning, some salty language. A fun day on the ocean. We had wind gusts around 18 with average winds of 15vmph plus it was COLD. The wind direction was unusual. We still had an angle to fly the kite. We sailed course HD7 reverse (C/H/K/Finish) for 5.5 nautical miles (6.3 miles). Our club handicap for the day was still bad. CHRF racing is like golfing handicaps. It changes from race to race. Speed Stats in MPH during the race: Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. 2.311 7.163 7.729 7.852 8.326 14.017
