That being said I hold KMP as part of a diversified portfolio where I try to have at least 30 dividend paying companies. My goal is to have 100 of these dividend companies, but will settle for 50. Noone can really say that KMP is the stock of the future. My analysis of the dividend aristocrats revealed that on average, stocks stay about 6.5 years in the index. I don't know how long dividend achievers stay in the achievers index (KMP is an achiever) but since there are about 300+ achievers but only 120 or so aristocrats and chanpions I would say that the stay is not longer than 15+6 =21 years on average.Dividend Growth Investorhttp://dividendgrowth.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584696203336871201.post-52155244451537328962008-07-01T12:07:00.000-07:002008-07-01T12:07:00.000-07:00Thanks for hosting!

I wanted someone elses opinion on whether you believe this is a lifetime holding. As in do you think they will continue to raise dividends or hold steady on the huge distribution because most of the anlysis' i read say its just a stock to hold for the next few years then its time to cash it in but none explain why. I've held JNJ since '78 and its made me a fortune and im looking for another gold mine to leave my children. Thanks again and i just read your dividend analysis and its staggering that 10 years later you'd get a 40% yieldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584696203336871201.post-18960732873412422682008-07-01T07:14:00.000-07:002008-07-01T07:14:00.000-07:00Thanks for including my post in the Investing Carnival.
