I have a traditional IRA as a result of a 401K rollover from a previous job. Well, it actually belongs to the Missus. Anyway, we don't add any cash to this account so it's easy to track the numbers. All of our dividends for this account are in for the year. The income stream rose 16.35%. ... I'm assuming that's a decent increase. The year isn't over, but as of today, the account is up 12.5% in total return with regard to unrealized gains for the year. The portfolio yield on year end 2010 value is 5.27%. The account was opened in November 08, (didn't receive the first dividend until Jan 09), and the yield on the initial investment (yield on cost), is now 7.9%. As of today, that same account is up 69.2% in 3 years, 1 month (total return). All dividends have been reinvested. Total return is not my primary objective, the dividend growth is. My objective is to build an income stream that is reliable, predictable, and increasing. I think the 16.35% growth in the dividend income this year qualifies and also beats inflation. I believe that total return follows dividend growth in the long run. Positions held in this account are as follows: BMO CL CTL D EPD KMR KO MMP MO NST O PGN SDRL SO SYY T TOO VZ
