I agree with Kerim. Most DGI's have rules for their holdings, but not all of your holdings may be necessarily for dividend growth. I've held Visa for a long time, and though the dividend growth is great, at a sub-1% yield, I don't own Visa for dividend growth. Make sure you know why you hold it, and if the circumstances change, try not to be emotional about it.
