I can understand the conundrum. I just needed to re-balance a little.
Yahoo 2 year chart w/ 50d & 200d SMA:
It has been on a roll.
Longrundata dividend chart:
Don't have a definitive answer about the 00 drop in the dividend.
Yahoo estimating 3% forward growth, S&P not expecting much more either, payout ratio about 45% now. Time frame? I'm expecting to hold another 5-10 years and my cost basis is around $41 so I'm comfortable. If you have another in mind with a significantly higher yield or similar dividend growth rate, it may make sense to redeploy.
