You younger guys may want to look at NIKE (NKE).... They just raised their dividend 14% -- split the stock 2 for 1 -- and announced they'd buy back 12 BILLION dollars worth of their own stock.

I don't own it - and have never done any research on it - and this isn't really a recommendation since that's not what this thread is about.... but some of you are looking for "growth" stocks vs dividend payers.... and a company like this has some of both. It certainly fits the criteria of "best of breed" and "things you know".

LOL
