SLOW GROWERS

• Since you buy these for the dividends (why else would you own them?) you

want to check to see if dividends have always been paid, and whether they are

routinely raised.

• When possible, find out what percentage of the earnings are being paid out

as dividends. If it’s a low percentage, then the company has a cushion in hard

times. It can earn less money and still retain the dividend. If it’s a high percentage, then the dividend is riskier.
