When price gets too high, div yields too low? I own all of the Big 5 now, but probably won't be adding any of the secondary players for a while yet - want to increase these positions first. Also, I have no doubt the big 5 will increase their dividends again soon - probably not in 2009, though.

They are all increasing their provision for loss on bad debts and will make big profits when taking them out off their balance sheet in a couple of years ;-) Therefore, I wouldn't worry on their payout ratio for now (it is more dramatic when you look at the oil industry).

Now even if a stock yields 5% now and you purchase it for you income portfolio, if the dividend payment does not increase regularly, inflation would eat your income away..

Is it a meaningful indicator of dividend sustainabiliy? For example, BMO and RY have ratios over 90% don't they? I saw that as a caution sign, but maybe I'm naive. what is your perspective on payout ratios? Is it a meaningful indicator of dividend sustainabiliy?
