It was mentioned before, that it wouldnt be wise to invest more than 5% of your total investment money into a single stock. With that guideline, If *I* had 50k to work with, i'd probably choose between 7-10 Dividend Champs across multiple sectors, and feel "comfortable" about being diversified.
As for the "not enough to buy one share a year".. who cares. Its a % game 2.5% divided on 1 share gets you the same 2.5% dividend on 0.1 share, or 1,000 shares. You dont gain any extra for more shares at a time.. Thus id rather spread my 50k across a few sectors as previously mentioned, even if it means i only buy 1 share a year of that stock.
Just my 2c anyhow.
