Paul Senior, those are very good points -- the discipline needed to make a regular dividend payment and the need for consistency in whatever policy is adopted. No prudent investor would risk everything in the portfolio on growth stocks. For example, I suggest combining stocks like SNDK with WRE (Washington Real Estate Investment Trust), which has increased its dividends every year for the last 34 years and provides a yield in excess of 7 percent, while maintaining its rating as one of the five most conservatively managed real estate trusts (i.e., with the lowest debt levels). If nothing else, a stock like WRE provides a convenient safe haven when growth stocks look too high priced.
