Very well put.

"People here who have relatively long-term goals or outlooks should welcome such a decline in these stocks though."

VFIIX vs. PG - bonds/fixed income + time vs. Aristocrat + time = no contest imho.

From a living off of dividends point of view, say we started in 2006:

First half of 2006 dividend per share: VFIIX .257, PG .59

First half 2010: VFIIX .209 or -18.6%, PG .924 or +56.6%

If we needed to start living off dividends in 2000:

First half 2000 dividends: VFIIX .342 PG .32

Compared to first half 2010: VFIIX -38% PG +188%

If PG halves their dividend tomorrow:

Ten year growth of dividend VFIIX -38% PG +44%

What contest?
