Great article, and I appreciate the research that went in to it.
The takeaway statement for me was the following: "In other words, a 1% yielding company that grows its dividend and earnings at 9% annually has the same expected 10% annual returns as a 6% yielding company that grows at 4% or a 3% yielding company growing at 7%."
To me, I prefer lower-yielding, higher growing stocks (think DIS, V, etc) as opposed to higher-yielding but slower growing stocks (such as T, SO, etc), although my portfolio is about 50/50 between the two. I generally take dividends from the slower growing, higher yielding companies and invest in the lower yielding, faster growing companies. The benefit of this strategy is that I will realize more capital gains in addition to the dividend income.
But, to each his own. Know thyself. Thanks for the article.
Thanks much for sharing your thoughts. I don't even want to know how many hours I put into this, has to be at least 30 or 40 over the last month, so I'm glad that came through in the presentation.

Don't worry, I've noticed! It's up to my second largest position now!
