This is why I like dividend investing so much... I DO NOT own this particular stock -- but will use this as a nice example of getting a RAISE without even asking for one! Here Goldman Sachs has just given its shareholders a nice .44 cent per year gift. That's real money - and if you have several companies doing this you can not only keep up with - but you can beat - inflation. For someone like me that is retired - this would be the equivalent of getting a pay raise!

Typically you will also see a share price increase when a company does this as well. A double bonus!



Goldman Sachs (GS) said it would raise its quarterly dividend to 46 cents per share from 35 cents.
