What you write is correct. As for me, in adjusting our portfolios toward the dividend growth side, I have ended up with a higher proportion of positions that yield in the 3-3.6% range - JNJ, PG, CVX, WEC, MCD, GE WAG (which is sub 3). These are all growthier (even GE since its cuts). The plan is that this works out well for future years, when we collecting pensions and SS. The pensions have a max 2% a year COLA. I want COLAs from our supplementary income sources that beat that!! I think I am getting set up for that. I also have higher-yielding names, some with good divvy growth and some that is not so good, like OHI, O, APU, SEP VOD, INTC, CM, BMO, etc.. It is interesting to watch with the much fuller portfolio. So far so good. I appreciate all the help I have received from reading here and seeing the portfolios and ideas of various contributors. You folks have made a real difference!!!
