    By Karin Hernandez - April 30, 2013 | Tickers: CMS, NU, PAA, SJR, WEC

    I’ve been analyzing and writing about dividend companies for nearly a year, looking to build what I believe is the Perfect Dividend Portfolio. I developed a complete ratings system, through which I assign scores to a company based on seven separate criteria I have chosen to represent superior dividend-paying potential, as well as possible gains in share price.
