I haven't researched it.  Hadn't heard of it until you and Otter were discussing it last week.  I am trying to not add too many more new names.  We'll see how long that lasts. 

What I need is for tech to get hammered for real again, but this market is resilient.

Very small trades this morning.  Added a few shares to DG-ARKF  Sold a few SLV puts.

My question is how many DGI names do you own?

I am thinking about trimming STAG. OHI, and AMP and maybe buy some of the others I want like WSO, MED, TSCO and ADM

And BTY there are many DGI portfolio's out there, so not all names may be on yours.

Can you provide a succinct definition of a DGI stock?  I've been working on this myself.  Here are some attributes, and I think it's a question of picking some.

• Offers a dividend greater than 1% in yield (some might say 2%)
  
• Has demonstrated 5 year value growth of at least 50% including dividend reinvestment (so if you put $10,000 in 5 years ago, you have at least $15,000 now)
  
• Has increased dividends annually for at least the last 5 years
  

So for instance let's look at HTGC, Hercules Capital, one of my favorites.
Yield - 7.47%, check.
5 year growth of $10k - $21,182.04, check.
Dividend increases - let's see
2016: 0.31/share
2017: 0.31/share
2018: 0.33/share in the 4th quarter
2019: back to 0.31/share in Q1, then back up to 0.33/share in Q2, then 0.34/share in Q3, then 0.35/share in Q4
2020: 0.40/share in Q1, then the pandemic hit and they dropped to 0.32/share for Q2 & Q3, then back up to 0.34/share in Q4
2021: 0.37/share in Q1, 0.39/share in Q2

So if we were to include all 3 criteria, it doesn't quite pass the 3rd one, but you can see they are trying
