So, a few weeks ago I asked here for some feedback on a portfolio tracker I've been working on, and I just wanted to announce that I've made some changes, and now I am able to provide it completely for free. So, feel free to use it!

Have Fun!

I like this, it suits my needs.

I noticed that VOO (Vanguard S&P 500 ETF) has a -10.56% dividend percentage listed (although it is the YTD performance) which causes the expected annual dividend to go negative. The yield is currently listed at 1.98% on Yahoo Finance.

Yeah, there's a bug with etfs right now, I'm working on fixing it though.
You live and die by the quality of your data...
Thanks for sharing. Do I assume correctly that this tool takes in dividend expectations and not only announced dividends?

Building a portfolio around dividend expectations is definitely useful for many reasons. But predicting dividends is hard. I imagine the dividend payouts for upcoming seasons will be far off previous seasons, and way short of previous analyst forecasts. How do you build or source your forecast levels for this tool, and how do you adjust expectation levels in the light the current economic context?

Cool. Where do you source your financial data from?
