I have actually stopped reading my fresh copy of "Building the Mule" because of this thread. Weld's "Building the Portfolio" anyone?? Now I know how I am going to play this year's SEP.
Oracle seems like another one that fits the GW profile no? Albeit on the moderate side for dividend returns, but their 10+ year is solid. |
So the rule I look at FOR ME.... if the dividend is "low" -- then the offsetting information has to be GROWTH... and you have to see growth of the dividend payout over time --- SO YES! Oracle meets that criteria. It wouldn't be on the top 20 for me - because there are so many (dozens and dozens) that pay more and have as good if not better growth over time. BUT all of this info needs to be tailored by each guy to fit himself. AND #1 is you have to be happy to hold the investment and buy more IF it goes down (which is the equivalent of stuff going on sale!)...
