You're doing far more than dividend growth investing. You are hedged, you are leveraged, and you have buy and sell criteria which you are aren't sharing. So enjoy the boasting

Through downloadable spreadsheet magic, I extracted dividends paid on a one-time $10,000 investment in my proprietary buy and sell rules and rankings. I'm leveraged 181% and I have a proprietary hedging strategy. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! Below are the dividend payments by year since the year 2000.

Empirical evidence supporting the dividend growth style. Who wouldn't want $45k in annual dividend income on a $10k investment and 15 year period?
Bragging is certainly a point, but I want dgi doubters to see empirical evidence that dividend growth investing is a philosophy that works. I am a finance professional, however my intention for posting on dgf is not to sell services, but to have fun discussing something I'm passionate about.
