Hi Paul Senior! I hope you've been well. Re: "The issue is being aware of such compounding of dividends and having the money and actually acting on an intent to buy one or several of these. And having the determination and fortitude to hold on for 14 years." Those are good points. The other trick is to find a company that can continue growing its dividend for 14 or 28 more years. Times change. Just because a company has been able to increase dividends for 25 years, that doesn't mean that they will be able to increase dividends for another 25 years. Industries mature and some even die out over time. Best wishes, I2
