I consider how many years a company has been raising their dividends, but it's not the end-all, be-all for me. I tend to keep my SWAN (sleep well at night) majority of my portfolio in companies that have 20+ years of increasing dividends (JNJ, KO, etc) but I like to invest new money into faster growing companies (V, PSX, etc) that may only have 5-10 years.
And, for the record, yes PSX could be considered 25+ based on it's history with COP. I've held COP for years and hung on to my PSX shares and have been adding ever since. DRIP, DRIP, DRIP.
