By: Charles_Carnevale
Introduction and General Observations of the Information Technology Sector
Dividend growth investors seeking quality dividend growth stocks to fund their retirement portfolios have not historically looked to the Information Technology sector.

However, another contributing factor to the no dividend policy of Information Technology companies was the nascent nature of this industry.
