I own 20,000 shares of this name... but what's important for 102 is -- I just got a RAISE for doing nothing. Not much of a raise... but a raise is a raise -- and over time raises in the dividend rate can keep you ahead of inflation...
And even more importantly --- A raise is on your cost basis! So over time you're earning a higher and higher PERCENTAGE on your investment!
I'm actually now being paid 13.56% on this investment because my cost basis is $89.41 a share.
See how that works! Sweet!
