Here's a kind of long article -- but it's a valid discussion to check the pulse of dividend stock investing -- something I've preached (harped on?) for this entire thread.
I like to read articles that might be contrary to my own beliefs - to see if there's something I can learn... and there's always something to be learned.
In the end - the article says we're on the right track.
