Just as picking fruit from a mango tree does not harm it, living off dividends does not damage the investment's ability to produce future results. A mango tree's life will easily span an entire generation.

After running these companies through my D4L-PreScreen.xls model, none achieved the necessary NPV of MMA Differential to justify a full evaluation. With a NPV of MMA Differential of $3,820 and a Dividend Achiever, WSBC was the only company in positive territory.
Disclosure: No position in any of the aforementioned stocks.
