The Magic of Dutch Lady: Measuring management's ability to profitably allocate earnings.
Depicted below are the 12 years financial statistics of Dutch Lady.

1999-2010 | |||||
DPO | 0.78 | ||||
EPS increase | 103.1 | ||||
Return on retained earnings | 79.1% |
We can observe that for the last 12 years (year 1999 to year 2010), the management of Dutch Lady:
1. has earned a total of 594.3 sen per share
2. has distributed a total of 464 sen per share, giving a DPO ratio of 78.1%.
3. has retained a total of 130.3 sen per share as retained earnings.
4. has increased its EPS by 103.1 sen per share ( 119 - 15.9 = 103.1) from 1999 of 15.9 sen per share to 119 sen per share in 2010.
How do we as investors measure a company and its management's ability to profitably allocate (unrestricted) earnings?
We can do this by taking the per share earnings retained by a business for a certain period of time, then compare it to any increase in per share earnings that occurred during this same period.
Thus, the management of Dutch Lady has used the retained EPS of 130.3 sen per share to grow its earnings by 103.1 sen per share from 1999 to 2010..
Therefore, the management of Dutch Lady has earned a 79.1%( = 103.1 / 130.3) return in 2010, on the 130.3 sen a share that Dutch Lady retained from the year 1999 to 2010.
Even if we have no idea of the business of Dutch Lady, we can still safely conclude that Dutch Lady has done a great job of profitably allocating its retained earnings.
This test is not perfect. One must be careful that the per share earnings figures used are not aberrations. One has to make sure that the per share figures used are indicative of any real increase or decrease in earning power.
The advantage to this test is that is gives you, the investor, a really fast method of determining whether or not a company and its management have the ability to allocate retained earnings in a fashion that increases the wealth of the company's shareholders.

Getting Rich with Dividends: 3 Tips to Improve Returns With Dividend Stocks
Knowing a Business Leads to Investing Success. Act Like an Owner
Investing is very similar. You must be able to:
1) value a business and
2) wait for the right price.
You should spend at least as much time reading annual reports as you do studying books on value investing. I’m not saying you don’t need to master the great books and writings on investing. On the contrary, this is essential too.
Nevertheless, as you master the framework and develop your own investing process, more and more of your time and energy shouldshift to studying businesses.

Do yourself a favour, invest in your financial education before you invest in the markets
"Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing."
Risk can be alleviated with proper education and experience. This is the same process that you must commit to undertake when you decide to invest in any market. First and foremost, you must get yourself educated.
It is strange that most parents would not think twice to pay high school fees to send their kids to university, when there is no real guarantee that they will succeed in life after getting their degree. However, when it comes to paying for financial education, where there is a chance they can lose all of the kids' education funds, many people shy away because of the price. Instead, they would rather risk their hard earned money in a market or instrument that they have little knowledge of, or worse, investing based on rumours or tips from various unverified sources.
Most people are attracted by the myth of quick, easy money from investing (or trading) but fail to understand that it takes a lot of hard work to be successful. Everyone equates being a doctor or lawyer to earning lots of money. But it is also common understanding that to be a doctor or a lawyer requires one to put in many years of education and practice before one can be successful. Ask anyone about his or her current job and you would most likely get the same response that hard work is the norm. How then can it be different for investing (and trading)?
"Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing" - a famous quote from Warren Buffett.
It sounds simplistic, but it epitomises the real meaning of the work "Risk".
Any instrument, be it stocks or forex will be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. it is not the instrument but the level of the investor's understanding of the instrument and the market that determines his risk level. So, do yourself a favour, invest in your financial education before you invest in the markets.
Here is another quote from Mr. Buffett: "The most important investment you can make is in yourself.."
Risk can be alleviated with proper education and experience. This is the same process that you must commit to undertake when you decide to invest in any market. First and foremost, you must get yourself educated.
It is strange that most parents would not think twice to pay high school fees to send their kids to university, when there is no real guarantee that they will succeed in life after getting their degree. However, when it comes to paying for financial education, where there is a chance they can lose all of the kids' education funds, many people shy away because of the price. Instead, they would rather risk their hard earned money in a market or instrument that they have little knowledge of, or worse, investing based on rumours or tips from various unverified sources.
Most people are attracted by the myth of quick, easy money from investing (or trading) but fail to understand that it takes a lot of hard work to be successful.
