    That's right. Just the income stream. The total amount takes care of itself in the end. Do I like it if it goes up? Sure. But what matters is the ever-increasing dividend stream.

    All of these are being reinvested automatically.

    Re: Actual Dividend Growth Portfolio

    Do you have any ADP? For this type of portfolio, you should have ADP. I've probably said that in this thread before, though.

    Re: Actual Dividend Growth Portfolio

    As of July 31 we are at $109.61

    1 month ago $108.03
    6 months ago $86.92
    1 Year ago $60.53

    In addition, I looked at ADP as suggested. Other than the fact their dividend yield is a trifle low..... I recommend it in every way.

    Re: Actual Dividend Growth Portfolio

    Jax I was looking at your portfolio and had a few questions.

    The bulk of your holdings are in more volatile less traditional stocks (MAIN, O, PSEC). While they pay a nice dividend don't you worry about the dividend being too high? Do you worry about dividend cuts with these companies, REITS like O have had a history of cutting dividends especially when the economy stalls and they don't have the cash flow coming in. In looking over your portfolio that would be my worry, what happens if the market goes down? Stocks like KO and MO should hold up better in down market cycles. In just a brief look at PSEC it looks like they are financing their entire cash flow.

    Do you look at a stock like AAPL? They have more cash than god and have been increasing their dividend over the course of two years? ADP which you mentioned had a low dividend, also has a 8% dividend growth rate and has increased their dividend over the course of 37 years.

    No method is decidedly right or wrong, I just like to see what investors think about certain strategies.

    Actually O in particular has been around like 40 years and never cut the dividend. So I am not concerned about that one at all. I do have 2 BDC's in MAIN and PSEC. MAIN is pretty conservative as far as BDC's go. They have a relatively low yield and then issue special dividends to keep themselves legal. (they must distribute 90%). If they ever got ina tight squeeze they would eliminate the specials. Don't see ti happening for a fairly long while.

    PSEC is the only one that is "edgy' but I took a chance on the yield. I follow it very closely. They are within .01 of covering the dividend as of last results and the experts (I can give you a name or 2) do not think the dividend in in jeopardy. That said, after taking some high yield stocks to get going, the last few purchases have been into more traditional DGI stocks,and I plan to continue that from here on out.

    In the dividend growth world, that is one of the debates... high dividend with low increase (See ATT) or low dividend with high increase (Like ADP). I lean toward the former.
