Though I generally only do a full analysis at the end of every fiscal year, I always keep up to date on the quarterly reports of all the companies I own, and any that I am seriously watching.

As the end of October nears, Q3 results are being released, and I wanted to highlight some of the key results. Hopefully this will apply to many of you, since currently my holdings are pretty solid blue chips that are held in many dividend portfolios. As I continue to build this base, I will eventually branch out into smaller cap, faster growing stocks, as well as more exotic investments, such as MLPs, Oil Trusts, etc.
