I have eliminated several dividend potentials form my list as a result. Love AFLAC and wonder if MO is a good short term place to park some cash (from a business standpoint, ethics aside).

If the company squanders the cash in year 1, money won't be avilable in years 2-5 to pay dividends. Accrual accounting has too many oddities to use GAAP EPS todetermine the ability to pay dividends. @Joseph: Diversification. I don't want any individual stock to be more than 5% of my holdings on either a market value or income basis. Best Wishes, D4L @DGI: Dividends are paid with cash.

Seems to me, if one is focused on great companies, which have products or services in demand all the time, with great dividend credentials and some good growth credentials, heck, just pick maybe 10 or so, and be in a better position to watch and manage each stock(like periodically adding or subtracting as situations present themselves), hence easier managing of the whole portfolio. Basically, my approach is to look for such a company as one which I would like to own completely, if I could, for the long term. Then, add only a few more, thinking of myself as a businessman, not really as a stock player, per se. It's basically an attitude. DFL, what is your reasoning for holding so many stocks?

I am a firm believer in using earnings, since they could be turned into cash some time down the road. I think that using cash only without looking at EPS could present a challenge. For example if a company that had not expenses sold advertising for 5 years at 5 million dollars, earnings would be one million/year for 5 years. Cash flow however would be 5 million in the first year and 0/year for the next 4 years. See what I mean? If the dividend was $500K/year, the first year the Dividend payout would be 10% with the cash method, and off the charts over the next 4 years. With earnings however, the payout would have been 50% for 5 years. See what I mean? Interesting post.
