This is the least I can do after the leg work you've done on making some sense of our local market. You’re welcome, Mohican.

I like the link to DataRoma. and shows us how Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway and real investors look for and buy up solid businesses with nice growing dividends. Great post.

That's the kind of things I am worried most about dividend investing. Also, looks like banks will forego dividend increase this year. Under the circumstance, I do begin to have some doubt about divident investing strategy. I will still buy divident stocks, but maybe diversified more beyond that.

I applaud BPT management for reducing distribution and conserving cash in the face of unfavourable hydrology and declining US dollar; both of which are no fault of the management team. While distribution cuts are no fun, I'll take solace on the margin of safety built into the purchase price in anticipation of a possible distribution cut. Even at this depressed level, these long-term assets are paying me over 11% based on my purchase price, or at the upper range of long-term stock market return. Dropby, in the grand scheme of things, this distribution cut is immaterial. The ratio of dividend increases to dividend cuts is probably 10-to-1. A 1.00 batting average isn't require to excel in dividend investing. dropby - Yup, I was going to include that in the next dividend increases post.
