Brad,

While you mention that your current yield is 4% of the current market value of the DivG portfolio, I'm sure the yield on your original invested capital is much higher. I too, try to focus on dividend growth to my investments outgrowing inflation, although I'm not yet at your level of payback, I'm looking forward to getting there one day soon. Keep up the great work and blog!

Tks,

Think Dividends: Thanks! I haven't set a new milestone just yet (likely wait until I conduct a full review of my 2009 performance & needs) but a good ballpark number I have in mind is a 5-6% increase including re-investment of the dividends.

Susan: Cutting through the noise is the main objective of how I invest. Focus helps you see the path you need to follow, but great mentors never hurt either.

Lattes: The overall yield of the portfolio isn't really what I concentrate on, but at this moment the income is slightly over 4% of the market value of the portfolio. I would rather concentrate on how effectively I re-invest the current dividends vs. concentrating on the current yield.

That is awesome, what is the yield percentage wise? (not accounting for any interest on the leverage)

I am usually pretty happy to yield anything better than 7% on dividend portfolios I set up for myself and others but it sounds like you may have blown that out of the water.

If you aren't already in it, check out NRF, battered stock but the company is doing great, take a look at the latest financing they got from Wachovia, probably the best terms I have seen on financing in a very long time. Basically Wachovia/Wells has given NRF the thumbs up.
