Corey: I consider CTL a high ris stock. My CTL purchase was primarily to replace the high risk NNN stock sold during the month. I don’t expect CTL to continue growing its dividend at the same high rate. Given its high yield I will be happy with modest growth.

Thanks for reading!

I would be interested in hearing more about your rationale for purchasing more CTL. I see your latest analysis was from 2008. Is CTl expected to continue growing its dividend by its historical averages now that it has boosted its dividend?

As always thanks for the posts.

Jae: I have a model that goes out to 2027. I enter some base assumptions like contributions, dividends, growth rates for each and it will calculate a target for each year. As I gain experience I will be able to fine tune it. Last year I was too conservative, while this year I was too optimistic.
