I think you are over-analyzing things. Will a 0.2% or 0.3% difference greatly influence your investment decisions?

I think the discrepancy is between CAGR, average growth rate, and the time frame used in calculations. Some sites use the record date, some use the pay date, some use fiscal years, some use calender years.

In the end the important thing to see is the trend and track record.

Over analyze? Who me? Naaahhh, must be thinking of somebody else :-)

Eric you are correct (as always) just wanted to get a better handle on the CAGR and it's relation with the Chowder Formula. That's why I posted those numbers. They seemed "close enough" for me.

Happy Labor Day!

"The compound average dividend growth for the last 5 years based on the percentage difference between today's forward dividend rate and the actual dividends paid 5 years ago."

Hey Rapid....

You don't happen to use StockRover on a Mac with Safari do you?

Having the worst time getting it to work. Tech Support at SR is looking into it too.

Thanks!
