I don't like MCHP as a dividend play. The microchip business is highly cyclical and competitive. For how long will they be able to pay that gigantic dividend?

@Walt 17: Beg to differ. Some blue chips are able to increase their dividend substantially over long periods of time. Johnson & Johnson managed to increase the dividend at an average 14.4 % annually - for 30 years.
