Historical look at GGP dividend declarations

Just for fun thought it would be interesting to take a look at General Growth Properties' nominal dividend declarations for a given year.

General Growth Properties dividend declarations for 2005, (documented in press releases):

• 01/07/2005 - Dividend $0.36/share
  
• 04/04/2005 - Dividend $0.36/share
  
• 07/05/2005 - Dividend $0.36/share
  
• 10/06/2005 - Dividend $0.41/share

Total of $1.49/share. Approximately 3 times Todd Sullivan's initial investment, and about 1.5 times mine.

At that point, the capital generated by the dividend of my investment would exceed my family's planned annual savings. It will represent achieving, a sort of, critical mass balance - where my savings input would not keep pace with the income being generated.

This is not a bad return on my subscription to valueplay.net.
