Jim, I think it depends on whether you plan on selling the stock or not.

In my opinion, Dividend Investing needs specific objectives! The thread header says, Dividend Investing for retirement. Dividends are usually associated as income replacement for our later years when we can't afford further risks.

If the objective is to hold on and not sell and have a steady, reliable, predictable and increasing income ... then it doesn't matter what you pay at entry.

If you wish to buy a dividend stock with the objective of selling it in a year or two, then price is very important.

In my mind, I have come to conclude that I either go after income or capital gains. Wanting both is tough to do most of the time. So I prioritize.

If you do a good job of buying quality, then over the long run, quality usually wins out.

So again, your entry price should be determined by your objectives.
