I appreciate you detailed analysis of the dividend/investment pros and cons. I guess that it all comes down to risk management.

Have you ever tried to time the ex-dividend date? That is buy into the stock just prior to ex-dividend, then sell after that date? This is tricky as I believe the stocks price drops as needed to compensate for the payment of the dividend. But, as the stock recovers, sell it off and keep the dividend. Maybe even make a little profit on the capital appreciation. Of course, this assumes that the stock's price recovers after it drops.
