Knowing the limits and risks of this dividend strategy, I use my 401k plan to round out my investment. I also moved money from my 401k plan (out of gov't securities, treasury yields, and money market funds), into international stocks and have adjusted my contribution percentage this way as well. But also am moving towards, small cap etfs and growth companies (have a substantial fixed asset allocation). Think it is important to diversity and due to my prediliction for dividends and safety, I use my 401k to round out my portfolio.

Only a few days ago - I had written that I do not see a lot of people thinking about Diversification with respect to asset prices and I see this great piece by you. Very interesting and I agree that the risk is well worth it. This is really interesting.
