I do agree though that the companies that you mentioned will probably do better than the broad market averages.<BR/><BR/>Thanks a lot for your comments.Dividend Growth Investorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11197290990687067072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584696203336871201.post-51322976491866826602008-05-14T12:04:00.000-07:002008-05-14T12:04:00.000-07:00This is a good parameter to look at while evaluating the stock for dividend investing portfolio. One of my parameter is cash flow at 10yr, 15yr, and 20yr horizon. I may add this parameter to see how it stands. Since you looked at S&P500, the time it takes to have same cash flow is relatively higher i.e. 27 yrs to 35 yrs. Looking at some specific dividend stocks it is much less. (22yrs for JNJ, BUD; 19yrs for PFE, BAC; 15yrs for GE).Dividend Treehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01158365117506993948noreply@blogger.com
