My business plan calls for greater than 6% dividend growth across each of our portfolios for the year. Since transitioning to DGI in the Great Recession, we've been far in excess of that without really trying even with the cuts and freezes. This year may be a little tight in my wife's portfolio with both COP and ESV's cuts but I believe it's achievable.

“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
