This is something I have always had trouble with. Long term dividend growth is more important than current yield- if your perspective is intermediate to long term. That's the thing, even when I was young I leaned toward a bird in the hand wrt investing.
Interesting effect of the 2012 dividend accelerations and one time large divs in December- is that it will distort the numbers these screening programs use.

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.

I know it is true LOL. My problem is I have hard time planing for 5-10 or 20 years from now when I could be dead this year. In fact I am going out now to run a chain saw, wish me luck.
