I'm talking about current market yield on current market NAV for a DG type of portfolio. Very few DG stocks yield north of 3% right now, so how does a person average 3.9% or higher on such? If a person includes some MLPs, telecomm, REITs, etc. 4%+ can be achieved, but very few seem to be including those categories as DG types of stocks. Most have histories that are too short, market cap is too small, dividend increases have been inconsistent, etc. Also, the person seeking yield would have to severely limit the DG superlative stocks in order to boost the yield to the over 4% level. So I guess that at this point, perhaps it would be useful for someone to define DG stock as a category.
VIG, a dividend growth ETF, only pays 1.85%. Its holdings appear to be a who's who of big cap dividend growth stocks.
