"This can lead to poor decisions, though, I believe." This was the first thing I though of when I read your post. Hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would be educational if we could go back in time to 2007 when the market was hitting new highs. To me it seems the best stocks would have been sold for, at the minimum, more marginal ones. Last year dividend cuts and total eliminations were happening fast and furious. I lost a finger or two stretching for yield. If a person were retired, counting on the income stream, it could have caused problems. I would be interested in finding a list of stocks yielding 8% or more in 2007. I'm sure there are some old articles around.
