Default Coke/Dividend

Just a note on some numbers I read today on Coke (KO)... which I own.

Given the size of - and the maturity of - Coke as a company... they're still 'growing'. And the better part - to me - is something that I look for in a DIVIDEND payer i.e., GROWTH IN THE DIVIDEND because that keeps you ahead of INFLATION even if your share price is static.

Coca-Cola has grown its revenue by 8.7%, its earnings by 19%, and its dividend by 9.5% annually over the past 5 years.
