The lovely Monarch Butterfly which is seen throughout the summer has an annual trip to Mexico for the winter. Then the Monarch comes north in the summer to lay eggs on Milkweed plant. For years, people have been wondering how does a Butterfly do it? How does it know when to go south? How does it know the directions? After years of research it turns out the secret is the declining altitude of the sun. When the sun reaches somewhere between 56 and 57 degrees above the horizon at noon, it is time to begin the migration. The Monarchs follow the sun.

Linking to dividend producing stocks, now that you are aware of the reason why Monarchs go south, does it take away the magical part of it? Probably not, similar achieving dividend payments for numerous years with an idea of increasing them does not take away the magic of the wonders of the marketplace. There are always opportunities in the marketplace, setting the parameters for dividend producing stocks helps to ensure the cycle continues every year..
