While I agree that one should not chase dividends (going after essentially self-liquidating equities with excessively high payouts), it is important to remember that since 1930, approximately 40% of the returns on U.S. stocks has come from dividends.

So I would tend to use a dividend strategy similar to Buffett’s: steady, sustainable and growing.

Not to mention that these dividend players have not been great, but will shine when rates start falling.
