OGN: A lesson on dividend investing

[buynholdisdead]

Higher dividend yield means higher risk, alternatively, even when risk is not above average, then you are not getting any growth, for ex, like $VZ. That’s why you should focus on total return. Don’t just focus on dividend alone.

I generally don’t invest in companies for the Dividend, I invest in the growth. The reason I was in IIPR was because at one time it had great growth and I made some good money off of it. But when it started slowing down I was out. If you want to understand Reit’s better get Ralph Block’s book. It explains it all but he liked AFFO over FFO.
