The stocks sold cut their dividend, thus were no longer meeting the portfolio's goal. Best Wishes, D4L Nick: My income portfolio’s goal is an ever-increasing income stream.

With every stock down 20-60% isn’t the “recent price” a little deflated at the moment to draw conclusions from investments that lower its dividend?

You shouldn't really adjust your portfolio strategy based to follow the past market action too closely. In the past stocks like WYE or K have frozen their dividends, but then resumed their payments. Furthermore what happens if a company freezes its quarterly dividends, and 5 quarters later it increases the dividends again? On an annual basis your dividend income from the stock could still be increasing. Try researching dividend freezers over the past decade or two and only then determine if you should sell after a dividend freeze or not. Best Regards, Dividend Growth Investor D4L,
