When I was more interested in dividends I bought using the same criteria as I do now - buy growth. But I bought growth stocks that were dividend-payers. Companies like MSFT, KLAC, AAPL, CMI, etc.,. Plenty of companies with double-digit earnings and revenue growth that pay dividends. Thanks for the response cemanuel, much appreciated I do have many growth type companies as well. I utilized the Chowder Number to help identify those companies with growing dividends and had/have a good mix between higher and lower yields. It's easy to see now that some of those higher yielding companies were not great investments- however, pretty much all my Utes were. I've always been somewhat torn between getting my income requirements met and going for growth. Obviously a lower yield/higher DG means prolonging getting the income requirement met, however I see now that those lower yielding companies and their associated growth can be successfully turned into higher income later on.
