Aflac is my largest current holding mainly because I got in at an amazingly good low valuation. I think it still offers one of the best values available in the current market conditions.
I'm still failry young so I don't worry too much about current yield. I like current yield on companies I buy to be above 2% but that's about all I require. However, the decent growth rate needs to be there if yield is fairly low. I believe as (if) the economy stregthens Aflac will begin to grow their dividend at more substantial rates again. But that's pure speculation. Main reason I'm long on Aflac is the great value I got in at.
