As a dividend growth investor you need a framework to operate in, and a definate sell signal like that. Good decision in my opinion.

I have been experimenting with the Magic Formula. I was selling a group of my winners yesterday and I was contemplating keeping a couple of the stocks in my Dividend portfolio.

However, when I looked at the history their dividend was all over the place. This made my decision for me. I must stay focused on companies that continue to increase dividends.
