[QUOTE="Benben, post: 1270080, member: 25133"] IMO yield is not the driving factor. Increased divi amount is the critical aspect! Let me elaborate. Keeping a yield constant is not the goal. Keeping a yield at say 3% is not enticing to DGI investors. The market can tumble (2009) and the company can slash divi's and still maintain 3%. A DGI investor looks at the company's history of increasing dividends. Companies that increase divi's every year, regardless of market tantrums, are the cream of the crop! Look, the market will always go up (given the proper time frame) but if it goes up at the same rate as inflation it becomes a zero-sum game. When you increase the divi's every year you beat inflation and that's DGI in a nutshell. If you want more information check out Seeking Alpha! [/QUOTE]
