Would never roast someone just starting out. I only roast rude people!
I think many DGI'ers own non-dividend paying companies. I own Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffett's company) and Google, neither of which pay a dividend. But, I'm a DGI'er at heart and ~99% of my portfolio pays dividends. I would just recommend using dividends and new cash to buy DGI companies, if that's the strategy you want to switch to. I would caution against chasing yield but would encourage you to play the long game. Dividend growth rates make up in the long run what yield gives you in the short run. Just consider what you want and when.
