8 High-Yielding Stocks for Income Investors

You forgot to mention the really important thing about PG that everone seems to miss.. Its dividends increase about 12 % a year and this has been going on for about 30 years. So every year you get a 12 % raise. Where else does that happen. And the stock price has gone up about 60X since 1970. That is why the 12% increase in dividends keeps showing up as 2%. The price of the stock is going up at the same rate and the dividend stays at about 2 %. Notice the author said "steady dividends". He certainly missed the real story about PG dividends.
