The problem with relying on dividends is that its a two edged sword and on top of that frequently dividend policy has nothing to do with the company's ability to pay them. They can cut their dividend because of governmental pressure or because of the weakness in the credit markets unless they are legally obligated to pay out a percentage of their profits like a reit. So now you have be able to find shareholder friendly managments that are willing to communicate with you so you can be informed as to their dividend policy and hope that it doesnt change suddenly because some government official is pressuring you to hold on to your cash. Personally for dividends im going with reits, mlps, and maybe some good cumulative preferred if i can find some. any suggestions?
