Re: Middle Age Portfolio ... Sells and Buys. Today I sold long held positions in PG and MKC. The yields are too low to remain in a portfolio looking to create more income in order to help one retire a few years earlier than originally planned, so the dividend cash flows need to grow at a higher pace than PG and MKC could provide. PG ... 2.38% yield MKC .. 1.67% yield The proceeds from the sales were dividend amongst the following: GOF .. 11.38% yield MO .. 8.02% ASG .. 7.33% WPC .. 5.43% LEG .. 3.83% LMT .. 3.33% CCI .. 3.25% WEC .. 3.04% These positions combined, based on the weightings of each position, generate a yield of 5.44% and a 5 year dividend growth rate of 5.20%. The Middle Age Portfolio, prior to today's moves, generated a yield of 4.00% so I was trying to stay above that metric. I have done this.
