My portfolio is up 35% year over year. I feel blessed because it's on auto-pilot and I feel that I'm doing things conservatively. I buy DGI companies when they are on sale and never sell, even through dividend cuts. I know it's taboo to hang on to companies that cut their dividend. If a company cuts it's dividend, I generally view it as more retained earnings, which would only help boost EPS in the future. I only really sell if a company's fundamentals or future earnings potential are drastically altered.
