Triff, you bring up a good point. As with any strategy, there are always howevers ..... I have a couple of howevers for myself. IF PG - yld 2.9% doesn't raise their dividend this year, I will continue to hold unless something drastic changes in their company fundamentally. IF CTL - yld 7.60% doesn't raise their dividend this year, I will continue to hold them as well as long as the dividend is double the S&P dividend which is at 2.1% currently. That is the sum of one of my howevers ...... I will continue to hold a stock with a safety rating of 1 as long as the dividend is double the S&P 500 dividend, and make a special exception for PG. So, buying a former Aristocrat, that gets back on track, sounds like a good idea to me. Thanks for sharing it.

That's some great info Triffin. I wish there were a data base to work the other side, as in how many stocks that have raised for X number of years make it to the list. Somewhere along the line it would seem the odds would be good enough to take a shot before year 24. I would love to see a study on that.
