The "Dividend Rich Investor" is a very good book. Another useful resource is "Handbook of Dividend Achievers". I am most interested in stocks that can potentially give a "yield on cost" of 24% or more after the next 20 years. That means I am on the lookout for stocks that have a dividend yield of 2% to 3% and have the ability to increase (and also have a track record of increasing) their dividend by 12% to 15% every year. In the case of a stock like WRE, for instance, their current yield is close to 6%, so I will be happy if they increase their dividends by about 7% or 8% every year. For a stock like MO, the yield is close to 5%. So I would be looking at annual dividend increases of at least 8% to 9% in the coming years. As for IPG, I agree that the current dividend yield is unattractive. Ideally, I would not even look at a stock that is yielding less than 2%, regardless of how fast their dividend increases are.
