Div Growth Rate vs Growth Rate vs Growth Rate
#1
Just a question for clarification:

Which Dividend Growth Rates do you use?

The "Chowder Formula" uses CAGR. Where can you find that? Only place I have found reliable data for CAGR (and it is only good as of Dec 31 previous year) is Robert Allen Schwartz's site: http://www.tessellation.com/dividends/index.html
And this is the historical CAGR (1977-2013)

Setting FastGraphs for 7 years will provide a 5 year average dividend growth rate (This is an average and not CAGR, right?)

Longrundata (http://www.longrundata.com/longrundata/index.php) has a dividend growth calculator for Annualized Dividend Growth Rates (5, 10, 25 years).

Apples to oranges?

Which do you use?

Any other sites provide this info?

Here is an example for JNJ 5 year data(except CAGR):

Schwartz CAGR
7.917%

FastGraph
7.80%

LongRunData
7.61%

I know, all in the ball park. Just curious how picky I really should be.

Cheers!
