Five Stocks Raising Dividends

I've built a position in NLY since Oct. 2007. Why would any investor in his right mind have faith in a Mortgage REIT throughout the trauma of the last 2yrs? The answer is management with intelligence and integrity. It's not a metric that shows up in balance sheets, charts, blogs or dividend yields. I've been able to sell some in the low 20's, buy back in the low teens and collect a juicy dividend each quarter. 19% return during the worst environment of our lifetime.

There are other NLY's out there, that's a list to relish. Any candidates?
