This is the fourth in an occasional series about my public Dividend Growth Portfolio. The portfolio is designed to demonstrate how dividend-growth investing works. The first three articles were:
- Portfolio Forensics (August 31, 2010)
- Watching Dividends Rise: Putting Together a Focused Dividend-Growth Portfolio (February 1, 2011)
- Road Map for Managing a Dividend Growth Portfolio (February 23, 2011)
In this article, I want to expand on a particular element of my strategy for picking dividend-growth stocks: The 5-year rule. The rule simply says that a company must have raised its dividend for at least 5 consecutive years before it is eligible to be purchased for the Dividend Growth Portfolio.
