ReplyDeleteCaptain Dividend,
DeleteYes, I was not expecting that big of an increase, but knew it would likely come around now. Time to start making up for those years of delays and the dividend freeze. I'm also happy to say I own 3M in my Roth IRA with that nice 35% dividend raise and new larger buyback announcement. Keep them raises coming!
I hope you get to enjoy more dividend raises soon!
Wow that's a nice list of increases, well done! All the best in 2014. Btw, I added you to my blogroll so I can keep following your progress. Good luck!
DeleteThank you! Yeah I have a few of those stocks paying the increases, but some remain on my watchlist still. So many raises and not enough capital sometimes. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I'll add you to my blogroll as well!
