It's a simple plan, but I'm a simple man. Nothing tricky here! If a company wants my investment dollars, they must pay me for them in the form of dividends every quarter. And if they want me to continue investing in their company, they will have to increase their dividend to me every year. I will have faith in their company as long as they continue rewarding my faith with more money! It's an arrangement that's non-negotiable. I guess you could call it a form of security analysis, a Jerry Maguire ‘show me the money' form of security analysis.

Not only do the companies have to raise their dividend year after year, they have to show price appreciation in the market place on a historical basis. An investment plan should be geared toward receiving both ever-increasing dividends, as well as stock appreciation. After all, isn't that what investing in the should be all about?
