7 Select High Yield S&P 500 Dividend Stocks [View article]
The screen criteria sentence should read as follows:
"This week week, I screened my dividend growth stocks database for stocks that are members of the S&P 500, have a yield of 4% or more and have increased their dividend for 10 or more consecutive years."

Here is a link to Richard Kovacevich's discussion of the situation. It is an interesting video:

@ScottHB: Inflation is important, but not something that should dominate everything that is written. Inflation is a complex topic.
