massive dividend growth...

Any Dividend Growth Investors(DGI) need a little spice in their portfolio? I like to put 1/4 to 1/3rd of my portfolio in riskier, high-growth equities, to balance out the blue-chip foundation of my retirement portfolio. TIS is one of those new, small, high growth stories that I like. WIth the recent price dip, the current yield is over 5%. They have a good (but short) history of paying an increasing dividend, while plowing the remaining profits into expansion. Payout ratio is high, at 88%. Check the link below. (Disclosure: I'm long TIS)...

...."Huge Dividend Growth: TIS grew its annual dividend payout by 70% in 2012, and by over 58% in 2013, but was able to keep its Dividend Payout Ratio increases more modest, thanks to strong earnings growth of 44% to 45% in both years."

...."TIS began paying a quarterly $.10 dividend in March 2011, and has raised it over the past two years up to the current $.35 payout. It's currently one of the highest yielding stocks in the Consumer Staples section of our High Dividends By Sector Tables."
