Through Portfolio123 I can back-test my hypotheses on dividend growth. Through downloadable spreadsheet magic, I extracted dividends paid on a one-time $10,000 investment in my proprietary buy and sell rules and rankings. I'm leveraged 181% and I have a proprietary hedging strategy. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! Below are the dividend payments by year since the year 2000.
Year Amount
2000 Total $554.87
2001 Total $1,085.54
2002 Total $1,484.45

Empirical evidence supporting the dividend growth style. Who wouldn't want $45k in annual dividend income on a $10k investment and 15 year period?
