Eric, I think many don't realize how good we had it in 2008-11. There were a lot of companies at fire sale prices. You may see it again but don't know if it will ever be that cheap again in my lifetime. As I just began to understand and implement dividend growth investing around 2008-9, it took me until well past 2010 to actually solidify my plans. Still learning all the time.
Cannew, I agree. There are times when the value is obvious. For other times, you need to apply your best edumacated guesses.

“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
