This just brings the growth aspect of DGI to light, a dividend is nice but it needs to keep growing constantly (at least faster than inflation over the long-term) for the strategy to really work.

Over half of my port is now covered put collateral collecting 4.51% in a money market whether it is employed or not.  This is about as easy as it gets for a retiree with option selling skills.  I don't even have to push my luck on close strikes for now.
