A Structured Learning Path for Rules-Based Investing
At Above the Green Line (ATGL), we believe investing should be repeatable, measurable, and grounded in rules—not emotion or headlines. The Investing Guide is your central hub for the educational guides we publish across our four core pillars: Dividend Growth Model, Investment Strategies, ETF Investing, and Stock Trading. Each guide is designed to help you build confidence through structure—whether your goal is long-term income, portfolio resilience, or more active decision-making.
If you are new to ATGL, start here. This page is designed to help you quickly choose the guide that fits your goals, then follow a clear learning path into deeper articles, tools, and examples. Over time, these guides become your reference library—something you return to as you refine your process and improve consistency.
Choose Your Path
If your goal is building long-term income and compounding wealth steadily, the Dividend Growth guide will help you evaluate companies for sustainability, payout safety, and growth over time. If you are focused on process and decision structure—how to allocate, rebalance, and operate across market cycles—the Investment Strategies guide provides a system-level framework for portfolio design and risk control.
If you want broad exposure with efficiency and diversification, the ETF guide will help you understand allocation models, ETF selection criteria, and the role ETFs play in long-term stability. And if you prefer a more active approach—using charts, trend structure, and disciplined execution—the Stock Trading guide organizes ATGL’s technical foundation and tactical methods into a clear roadmap.
Current Above the Green Line Guides
Below are the core guides currently available on Above the Green Line. Each guide is a dedicated landing page that connects to foundational articles and deeper supporting resources.
- Dividend Growth Investing Guide— Build long-term income through sustainable dividend growth, payout safety, and compounding discipline.

Several of these guides also include long-form “master guides” designed as deep-dive authority resources for members who want the complete framework in one place.
How to Use These Guides
Each guide follows the same learning design. Start with the overview to understand the principles and language, then move into the foundational articles to build depth. If you prefer a structured progression, treat each guide as a mini-course: read the foundational concepts first, apply the metrics or rules, then return for the advanced topics once you have real-world context.
If you are a Premium member, these guides pair naturally with the ATGL dashboards, watchlists, and rules-based signals—so you can connect education directly to execution.
What Makes ATGL Different
Most investing websites publish information. ATGL is designed to teach a process. Our content emphasizes repeatable criteria, measurable decision rules, and portfolio discipline—because consistency is built through structure. Whether you are building a dividend portfolio or improving trading execution, the goal is the same: reduce emotional decision-making and replace it with a rules-based approach you can follow through all market conditions.
