I can understand the conundrum. I just needed to re-balance a little.
Yahoo 2 year chart w/ 50d & 200d SMA:
It has been on a roll.
Longrundata dividend chart:
Don't have a definitive answer about the 00 drop in the dividend.
Yahoo estimating 3% forward growth, S&P not expecting much more either, payout ratio about 45% now. Time frame? I'm expecting to hold another 5-10 years and my cost basis is around $41 so I'm comfortable. If you have another in mind with a significantly higher yield or similar dividend growth rate, it may make sense to redeploy.

“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan
