Thanks for jumping back on, Greg. I don't post much, but really appreciate and enjoy reading your posts. Thanks for taking the time with us here.

I was happy to see Costco raise their dividend ($0.275 to $0.31 = 12.7% raise) even though the yield is only 1% annually. However, from this thread, I know why I own it - for growth and yield combination. I bought at $101 and its trading north of $108 now. Purchased it completely with the dividends from my other holdings!

#1 -- Thanks for posting! I often wonder if I'm just talking to myself!



#2 -- Using your dividends from other stocks to diversify into another name is BRILLIANT and exactly how this can be done!

Nope, not at all. is your middle name "ef hutton" ? lol

The funny thing is about most forums is everybody has a comment or wants to play armchair quarterback, not this one.

Lateral-g, imo, has class and intelligence. Look, learn & listen. Funny too, cause i talk way too much....

Jody -- I don't want to side track this thread... but the plans for the new "shed" will have 5,000 plus square foot shop in the "basement" -- which will also suck up the 65' long toter and trailer. It's very cold in SV -- I want this stored inside -- and washed inside etc. The house sits on the hillside rising up to a ridge... and the cul d sac is 110' diameter... The lot is 1.6 acres at the top of that cul d sac.. and will allow us to split the driveway leading to the shop and then continuing on up to the house...Truck parking with a view! LOL

Sweet! I've been gone for a few days and didn't know this. I won a few shares as well and have been pleased so far.
