Another dividend portfolio strategy I have read about, but don't use, is knowing your companies yield history.

A publication like Value Line makes this easy to monitor. They list 15 years of performance on one easy page with annual highs and lows, annual EPS and dividends.

According to Kelley Wright, author of "Dividends Still Don't Lie," he says most stocks have a yield range history. He sells when the yield gets down to the historical range. He buys when the yield gets up to the high historical range.

So in other words, if KO had a history of getting as low as yielding 2.1% as an example, and history showed that's where price topped out, that is where he would sell. If KO's history showed the yield only getting up to 4% for example, and then that's where price started to rise historically, that's where he'd buy. (I don't know KO's yield history, I was just providing an example.)
