There are a few companies listed above that may not be able to keep their current dividend growth rates. LMT, MCD and SYY come to mind.

Having said that though, the minimum Total Return I'm looking for is 8%. The companies above give me some room for error.

If LMT and MCD were to lower their dividend growth rate to 10% for example, it would still be an acceptable holding for me.

SYY may fall below the 10% Total Return, but they have a long history of increasing dividends. I think their management team will continue with dividend growth as the economy improves.

I have some holdings I was unable to determine DGR on because of spinoffs, acquisitions or not a long enough history, yet they have acceptable yields. Those include:

CTL - 6.7% yld
FTR - 8.3% yld
EPB - 4.5% yld
MO -- 5.4% yld
VZ -- 5.7% yld
