My dividend increases - year over year for my current positions, averaged close to 10% in 2013. In companies that increase more than once a year, like OHI, for example, will skew things down if you just use the most recent dividend increase.
Anyway, I am well pleased with that. My largest increases came from AAPL, WAG, GE, CVX, O, OHI (off the top of my head). O will not be large this year, but last year they gave a double-digit increase when they closed their big deal.
I anticipate another good year of dividend increases, further compounded by reinvesting the dividends in all my positions. It is fun to watch the slowing increasing dividend payments upon each quarter's or month's payments
