<you could earn above average returns by buying stocks that had just announced dividend cuts> Whether or not that is true is irrelevant to me. I am more interested in the income stream generated by the stock, not the returns. So if the income stream is being cut, I don't care what happens to the returns/cap gains... I want to replace the stock with one that is INCREASING dividends and income streams. As Dabum has put it, my goal is to double my dividend income in 6-7 years with companies that are growing dividends, not cutting them. I hope I never have to sell a single share. And I won't as long as the dividend income is sufficient to meet my needs. The share price simply does not matter as long as they keep paying and increasing the dividend -- and the share price does not matter if you never have to sell a share. IMO, this market is sideways chop at best... it may be years and years before "growth" investing outperforms dividend growth investing. Jim
