Companies that pay dividends may not be a specific metric that Warren Buffet uses to screen investment opportunities but may signal candidate stocks that meet his other key investment criteria. I agree with this. :) And I already said earlier that for Graham dividend policy WAS one of the important investment criteria, so I don't dispute value investing based on dividends. I do know from my current portfolio asset allocation, I am currently moving some bond money (yielding less than 1%) into dividend "aristocrat" type equities that yield over 3% so I can lock in a better than bond yield and get a Buffet type value bargain. I guess the important part is to remember that dividend yield is not a substitute for great management and great business. :) I think you consider that already though. :) I have no problem with someone incorporating dividends into their investment policy. I don't do it myself though and I explained why. :) If you looked at my portfolio, you may discover a lot of dividend paying stocks - this just does not mean I paid any attention to divvy when buying them. :) Good luck.
