Best always starts with strong balance sheets. Then the stock needs to be in an uptrend above all its MAs. If the first two criterions stated above are in place, then a nice dividend is dessert, extra gravy. The problem that many had on this thread is that they placed the dividend ahead of the strength of the balance sheet and the stock being in an uptrend.

Take PRU for example. The stock is yielding over 8.2%. But the stock fell 58% from its high. Why do you think that happened? The high dividend yield surely didn't help the stock. And the stock is still struggling, down 41% from its high. Why is that?
