But the main reason for my purchase of ORI is based on my confidence in the overall stability of the dividends given the current payout ratio. Although the dividend growth rate isn't as high as I would prefer, they still have a current streak of 7 consecutive years of dividend increases. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and your comment.

In the previous post, I had provided a more detailed analysis of AFL and also provided links to a few articles from other bloggers. It should give a start on your research. <br /><br />And of course, don't forget about the links from my collection of stock analyses! :) <br /><br />Best Wishes.
