    We've come a long way from the Dot.com bubble, when "dividend" was mostly an alien term for tech companies. Following Cisco's hike, tech accounts for the largest share of S&P 500 dividend payments (14.22%) of any sector, edging past consumer staples (14.21%). Financials, which made up 29.12% of payments in pre-crisis '07, are now down to 12.63%.

  • (IBM) has been our core dividend grower for us in the past.
    (AAPL) the better dividend grower of late our current fav.
    (CSCO) 5 years pretty ugly trying to make a U Turn
    Few charts do the dividend is nice though.
    We will stick with Apple.
