My thought exactly. I see a lot of dividend paying stocks as many separate streams of income similar to a lot of little hoses filling up a bucket. If you lose one hose, the bucket still fills up with water. I owned BOTH Washington Mutual (now $0.08/share) and Citi Bank ($4.27/share). Both at one time paid excellent dividends but neither pays anything now. These hoses to my dividend bucket are no longer. I have built up my paying dividend positions to around 90. That's why I limit my largest position to 6% of the portfolio. Most only represent 2%. I will have to look at what percent of my dividend income is generated from each position. I suspect that the recent additions of preferred stocks and MLPs are the largest contributors. EKS
