10 Stocks Ramping Up Their Dividends [View article]
D4L,
I would note that Stryker (SYK) declared transitional dividends to move from annual to quarterly payments. As a result, they've increased for the second time this year and next year's increase is booked. Granted, yield is still 1% but it has grown 52% from 2008 to 2009 and another 20% to 2010.
Not a long history, but an interesting position if you can stomach the indictments (IMHO all medical sales are made with a nudge, nudge, wink, wink).

Power Corp is the holding company with industrial holdings as well as PWF- Power Financial. PWF holds a few investment dealers and insurance firms. Very good cash generator.
There is a lot more information out there on this subject, I would suggest any reader do some research.

Weird...they sold debt to pay a dividend.
I would look closer at the board and non-arms length shareholders (the executives). Are they thinking about the long term of this company, or setting themselves up?

Translating: Buying opportunity coming soon? If they keep raising the dividend they way they do, (it has room) then this will put a firm floor on the price.
It is hard to price a buy on something upon which you're up 60%!
It is excellent to see an article complete with analysis and the end recommendation to not jump in with abandon. PAYX and ADP is a unique situation in the payroll & business services sector with 2 major players.
Analyse both before deciding on one or the other, it will aid your understanding of the sector.
Do you have a better opportunity for the capital? How will you replace the income?
If you ignore capital values and focus on the income to support you through retirement, then this suggest you should hold. Maybe starting to increase your position in bonds will reduce risk. But in the end, your dividends yield better than bonds anyways.

Author said it: There is 100 years of NG. When do you want to start preparing for the end? You can start now and have a smooth transition, or bury your head in the sand.
Policy leadership through carbon taxes, subsidies, and research is required to produce a smooth transition. If we removed taxes/controls from the market, it would be boom and consume until critical shortages occur. A steep decline into Anarchy, at which time it is doubtful there will be the ingenuity remaining to manage the transition.
