Value stocks with increasing dividends

There have been a plethora of posts about dividend stocks lately. Quite a few have pointed out that many stocks that offer dividends now yield more than Treasuries or corporate bonds. Others tout the advantage of dividends being able to add to total return in a choppy, range-bound market.

Raising dividends, reasonable valuation, not over-priced, not being chased by the momentum crowd -- these are all characteristics that might be attractive to patient investors. And remember, pulling in some income while waiting for the capital gains to arrive is not such a bad strategy.
