Dividend investing in the classic implementation focuses on identifying solid companies with a record of growing their dividends each year; and an expectation that it will continue into the future.

Using the last nuclear build-out cycle as an example, a safe assumption would indicate an expansion cycle that may last...
Alan Brochstein, CFA submits:
For a long time, I considered dividends about as relevant as stock splits: Yes, they both could serve as signals of management?s confidence in the outlook, but neither event changed the underlying value of the company. Of course, in a post-Enron world, where taxation laws were easily changed to encourage the payment of dividends, we have seen a change in the landscape, with many more companies paying them and more investors caring. I am not so sure...
