RE:Comparison of rising dividend vs rising stock and sell %I agree it depends what your investment goals are short and long term. If you want to leave the capitol for inheratence and just live off the dividends fine but we believe in total return as John points out. It whatever your preference is.
One stock may be a good total return stock and the next one may be just a great straight dividend stock.
I believe this year and next ALA fits the first stock as their prospects look good going forward
