Of course we each have different needs, different risk tolerances and different goals. I am 81 years of age and so my goal is to earn 5% to 7% on my investments and I have a shorter time horizon when considering those investments..
One of the goals I considered in my earlier investing days was Total Return, sum total of dividends plus increase in share price.
The common stock of Realty Income "O" was at about $24 - 5 years ago and closed yesterday at $40.65. I have not done the calculation but perhaps that possible Total Return helps and is worth considering when weighing the value and worth of having Realty Income in ones Portfolio.
