The Company
 Since the 1820s, hundreds of railroad companies were built, merged, reorganized, and consolidated into what eventually became Norfolk Southern, itself created from the consolidation of Southern Railway and Norfolk and Western Railway in 1982. In 1999, Norfolk Southern expanded again by acquiring a portion of the Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail). At the end of 2012, transporting coal, coke, and iron ore made up 26% of the total operating revenue of Norfolk Southern. These are some of the commodities that are under considerable regulatory pressure from the current administration and various environmental groups around the country. Any reduction in the use of coal by electric generating companies will continue to reduce the freight carried by the company and will affect further revenues of Norfolk Southern Corporation. The general merchandise product category (automotive, chemicals, metals, construction materials, agriculture commodities, consumer products, paper, clay, and forest products) made up the largest portion at 54%, and finally intermodal shipments made up the remaining 20% of the total.  The company operates three primary hubs in its system: Harrisburg (PA), Chicago, and Atlanta. It also maintains facilities across the Eastern US to facilitate operations, including rail classification yards, intermodal yards, and locomotive shops. Norfolk Southern has agreements with other rail lines to operate their equipment with their own crews so although they own and operate on over 20,000 miles of track, they can operate their equipment on over 38,000 miles of track. The Fundamentals Revenues have been on a steady climb with few exceptions for the last 10 years (see below). As I have previously pointed out in several articles, the recession that occurred in the US during 2008-2010 put pressure on many of the companies operating domestically. Norfolk Southern Corporation was no exception as it can be seen in their revenues in 2009 and 2010. Another small decrease occurred in 2012 that I believe is a direct result of the reduction in coal shipments as the administration continued to regulate and pressure the coal industry. If the administration continues to increase regulations on the coal industry, this could affect future coal shipments for Norfolk Southern and others. Except for those few years, revenues have continued to move upward and estimates going forward continue to increase in 2014 (4.00%) and 2015 (5.64%). This rate of increase is consistent with the company's 3-year revenue growth rate (5.67%) and its 10-year revenue growth rate (5.69%). Earnings have been on a similar trajectory during this same period. Just like revenues, earnings estimates increase in 2014 (4.13%) and then accelerate in 2015 (14.46%). This rate of increase is consistent with its 3-year earnings growth rate (14.56%) and its 10-year earnings growth rate (15.99%). Dividends have been growing at a rate of 12.38% over the last three years and at a rate of 20.96% over the last 10 years. Looking closer at the dividend growth rates for the 4-year and 5-year periods it's evident that the dividend is increasing at a rate close to the more recent slower growth rate than the rate of 10 years ago. Assuming that this current growth rate will continue into the next few years, estimates for dividends in 2014 are $2.32 and in 2015 are $2.59 per share. Dividends increasing at this rate are obviously far in excess to the current rate of inflation and are the kind of numbers all Dividend Growth Investors are looking for.
As a result of that 2008-2010 recession in the US occurring in the timeframe that affects the 5-year growth rates, I've also included the 4 year growth rates. It demonstrates the anomaly that occurred during this period and allows for a better understanding of the affect of the economic conditions on the revenues and earnings of the company. It's nice to know that management was able to steer the company through these difficult times and recover nicely afterwards. In addition, management was smart enough to keep the dividend payout ratio low enough to allow for a continually increasing dividend throughout this entire period. These are the kind of intangibles that can't always be gleaned from the numbers themselves and they provide an investor with a certain level of confidence in the management and the board of directors of the company. Revenue Growth Rates 3yr = 5.67% 4yr = 9.00% 5yr = 1.16% 10yr = 5.69% Earnings Growth Rates 3yr = 14.56% 4yr = 21.62% 5yr = 5.96% 10yr = 15.99% Dividend Growth Rates 3yr = 12.38% 4yr = 11.20% 5yr = 10.37% 10yr = 20.96% The Technicals At this point in time a price of $94.03 appears to be a fair price for this stock. This indicates that the price is neither expensive nor is it a bargain. Looking at the charts below shows that six months ago this stock was priced at approximately $70 per share. Since then it's seen a nice little run up in price. Since then revenues and earnings estimates have been increasing so it's understandable that the stock's price would increase along with the estimates.
Conclusion Since this stock is currently not "on sale" there doesn't seem to be any hurry to accumulate it at this price. I expect to see this stock trade in a range between $90 and $100 over the next few weeks. What I intend to do is monitor this stock and try to buy it as close to $90 per share as I can, or less if possible. At $90 per share this stock would be 15 times this year's expected earnings and would cause the one year price target to increase from 11.42% to 16.22%. It would also increase the yield from 2.16% to 2.40%. Those numbers are very nice numbers and any Dividend Growth Investor would enjoy those numbers. And although the one year target price for this stock is $104.60, I could easily see this stock hitting $112 by the end of 2015.
Comcast Corporation is at the epicenter of the entertainment universe. It's a combination of both media and technology. It's both the predator and the prey in an industry that is quickly moving from a "nice to have" luxury to an absolute necessity for almost everyone in the 21st Century. This entire entertainment industry is quickly grabbing a larger and larger share of the world's disposable income and Comcast is becoming one of the great entertainment companies in this space.
The Company
 Comcast was started in 1963 and later incorporated in the state of Pennsylvania in 1969. Their initial public offering (IPO) came later on June 29, 1972 when 430,000 shares of CMCSA were issued at $7 per share. Then on November 18, 2002, Comcast and AT&T Broadband combined into one unit to form the new Comcast Corporation. Comcast has two publicly traded classes of stock (CMCSA and CMCSK) and one non-publicly traded stock (Class B). The Class A Common Stock (CMCSA) is entitled to .1333 votes per share, Class A Special Common Stock (CMCSK) has no voting rights and Class B Common Stock is entitled to 15 votes per share. The Class B Common Stock does not trade publicly and is held entirely by BRCC LLC (a limited liability company controlled by Brian L. Roberts, CEO and President of the Company) and two estate planning trusts of Mr. Roberts. The Class B Common Stock constitutes an undilutable 33 1/3% of the total voting power of all classes of the Company's Common Stock. For this analysis I'm only interested in acquiring the CMCSA stock. Comcast Corporation has several competitors and it's biggest competitor is Disney. Disney is no small competitor and it also has similar operational interests in television, film and theme parks. Other smaller competitors include the Dish Network and DirectTV, both of which are in the television and internet business. Finally Comcast Corporation competes on multiple levels with various other companies, websites, TV Networks and film studios at almost every level of the industry. The Fundamentals Since Comcast Corporation was incorporated in 2002, a result of a combination of Comcast and AT&T Broadband, its first year earnings can be easily disregarded as an anomaly due to initial start up items. Starting with year two (2004) the revenues, earnings and dividends can be seen as consistent and increasing annually. In fact this level of consistency is something you rarely see in a company over such a lengthy period of time (see below). Comcast Corp has produced 3-year, 5-year and 8-year revenue growth rates of 19.25%, 13.55%, 14.26%, respectively. It's produced 3-year, 5-year and 8-year earnings growth rates of 25.37%, 24.37%, 31.86%, respectively. And it's produced 3-year and 5-year dividend growth rates of 27.90%, 25.55%, respectively. In fact, throughout this entire period Comcast Corporation has maintained a consistent dividend payout ratio of approximately 30%. Earnings estimates going forward reveal expected earnings of $2.86 in 2014 and $3.27 in 2015. Expecting a continuation of the 30% payout ratio, estimates for dividends are $0.90 in 2014 and $0.99 in 2015. All this was and is occurring during a period in which Comcast Corp was and is absorbing NBC, the Universal Theme Parks, and Time-Warner Cable.
The Technicals On the daily chart the 5, 10 and 20 day moving averages turned from a downward slope to an upward slop and are in the process of reversing their order. The MACD is below the zero line and turning up, which is exactly what I like to see. This also is an excellent indicator. The ADX has also reversed over the last couple of days to indicate upward movement. Even the RSI is showing a movement into the upper area of the indicators range. All things considered this looks to be an excellent place to be accumulating shares in this company. If there's any regrets here, it's that buys were not executed earlier this week. On the weekly chart you're able to see a similar pattern with the moving averages, the MACD, the ADX, and the RSI. Looking closely at this weekly chart it's also obvious that a buy occurring earlier this week was probably the optimal time to start accumulating.
Conclusion A pull back may or may not occur with this stock so I may start a small buying program at this current $51.21 price level. Obviously I'd love to have bought this stock earlier this week at prices below $50.00 so any pull back to that level will only encourage me to load up on this stock. I believe this stock has the potential to move well into the 60s.
Good Luck and Good Trading. Each week I screen a number of companies based upon very specific criteria of interest to me. The results of that screen are listed below. None of the companies listed here constitute a recommendation to buy or sell any of these securities. This is simply a list created by me for me and for my own personal use and reference.
 I make most of my income in the stock market by doing nothing. Or at least by doing very little. And that’s on purpose. Generally speaking, the less I do, the more I make. This may seem sort of counterintuitive to most people, but a lot of things in life are like that. And yet when I’m doing nothing to increase my income, the hardest part of all is resisting the urge to do something. Anything. Because doing anything at all often turns out to be just a vain attempt to make money. It’s usually a forced trade and it hardly ever works out. It’s a lesson best learned early in one’s investing career.
Once you finally execute the decision to buy a stock, it’ll most likely start to move up or down or sideways. When this happens, most investors quickly become a little anxious. When they’ve seen their stock move up ever so slightly and then move back down to where they bought it, they start to regret that they didn’t sell it when it is up and buy it back when it fell back. They also begin to read articles and news stories about the market in general and their stock in particular which begin to muddy the decision making process in their brain. As the days and nights pass and the price action in the stock continues, many investors become overwhelmed with either greed or fear and become tempted to take some sort of action. This usually ends in tragedy.
The way wealth is created in the stock market is by holding great stocks for a very long time. And a great deal of that wealth is in the form of dividends. A prudent investor reinvests those dividends with the single idea of compounding that wealth into even greater wealth. That’s just how investing works and how wealth is created. If you want to gain from the appreciation of a stock, you have to own it. If you want to receive a dividend from a company, you have to own the company’s stock. If you want to become wealthy, you buy great stocks when they’re cheap, hold them for a long time, and reinvest those dividends back into those stocks. Simple, right? Hardly.
So if patience is counterintuitive, how do I incorporate it into my trading philosophy? Here's two things that any investor can do immediately to reduce the number of frivolous trades and improve his over all wealth.
1. Every time you feel the urge to sell a stock you've just recently acquired simply because it risen in price, ask yourself "Have the fundamentals of the company changed since you first bought the stock? Has the sector or industry significantly changed to the point that the company can no longer compete? Are the reasons that you initially bought the stock no longer valid?" If the answers to the questions above are no, then be patient and remain invested. 2. Every time you get the urge to trade, stop and ask yourself "Are the technicals in place such that a trade is prudent? Are any of the momentum indicators screaming that this is the absolute perfect time to trade?" If the technicals aren't right then the timing is all wrong. If you ask yourself the things above before you make that next reactive trade, you'll begin to realize and incorporate a certain degree of patience in your trading philosophy. What you will begin to discover is that a little more inactivity in your trading may just turn out to be beneficial to your portfolio. This may just be something worth thinking about. There's a lot of things I like about T. Rowe Price. It's a member of the Dividend Aristocrats and it's been increasing it's dividend annually for the past 26 years. It has growing revenues, earnings and dividends and a low payout ratio. This is the kind of company, if bought at the right price, will make its owner a very wealthy individual over time.
The Company  T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (TROW) is a publicly owned asset management holding company. The firm primarily provides its services to individual and institutional investors, retirement plans, and financial intermediaries. Through its subsidiaries, it manages separate client-focused equity, fixed income, and balanced portfolios. The firm also launches equity, fixed income, and balanced mutual funds for its clients. It invests in the public equity, fixed income, markets across the globe. It also invests in late-stage venture capital transactions with equity investments between $3 million and $5 million. The firm was previously known as T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. T. Rowe Price Group was founded in 1937 and is based in Baltimore, Maryland with additional offices across North America, Europe, and Asia. (Daily Chart) (Weekly Chart) The Fundamentals At first glance the fundamentals look a little sporadic (see below). The revenues were increasing until they fell in 2008 and then again in 2009. Unfortunately those two years saw the biggest economic depression this country has seen since the Great Depression of 1929 and virtually every company was affected. During this period most people weren't investing their savings or income with companies like TROW because they were more worried about losing their homes to foreclosure. In addition, the business of TROW is investing in many of those same companies that were experiencing the most financial pain during this period. The result is that TROW was under a lot of financial pressure to perform in a very unforgiving environment. Needless to say, I wouldn't have been surprised if their revenues had been even more depressed than they experienced during those years. Similarly earnings followed revenues deterioration during this period. Earnings rose through 2007 and then fell in 2008 and 2009. Then, like revenues, they began to accelerate once again in 2010 and have continued to increase through 2013. Estimates for 2014 show an increase in revenues of 13.79% and an increase in earnings of 14.61% and for 2015 show an increase in revenues of 9.59% and an increase in earnings of 11.40%, which is a nice continuation of the company's increasing trends. Dividends, however, have continued to increase annually throughout the entire period of 2003 to 2013 with one exception in 2012. During that year TROW started out paying a dividend of $0.34 per quarter which would normally produce an annual dividend of $1.36. This is well within the expected increased range of dividend payments for that year. Instead TROW paid a $1.00 special dividend in the 4Q2012 enhancing the dividend payment for that one year. At the time of the special dividend James A.C. Kennedy, the company's chief executive officer and president, commented: "This special cash dividend is an efficient return of capital to our stockholders. After the special dividend payment, the company's balance sheet will remain strong, with cash and mutual fund investment holdings of nearly $2 billion, and no corporate debt. Further, we believe that the payment of the special cash dividend should not impact the company's ability to continue our outstanding dividend record for the foreseeable future." TROW is now back on track and estimates are for dividends to increase to $1.78 (+17.10%) in 2014 and $1.99 (+11.79%) in 2015. Those estimated dividends are in keeping with a payout ratio of approximately 40%.
Below are a few other company fundamentals I like to review when I research any company. Everything here looks good but not perfect (no company ever is perfect!). I generally like to see a P/E ratio below 20 and a dividend above 2.5% but a company whose earnings are currently growing at 15%, a dividend that's growing at a rate above 11% and a payout ratio less than 40% more than makes up for it's other shortcomings. In addition, an expected total one year return on my investment of 13.32% is an excellent return. Even if the "experts" are off by 20% I'll still expect to receive more than a 10% gain. Information like that might just be the kind of information that convinces me to begin accumulating shares in this company for the long haul. Beta = 1.33 P/E Ratio = 20.67 PEG = 1.43 Current Dividend = $1.76 Current Yield = 2.18% ($1.76/$80.63) 1 Year Target = $89.62 1 Year Percentage Gain = 11.14% ($89.62/$80.63) Total 1 Year Return on Investment = 11.14% + 2.18% = 13.32% Revenue Growth Rate 3 year = 13.67% 5 year = 10.52% 10 year = 13.39% Earnings Growth Rate 3 year = 15.35% 5 year = 16.46% 10 year = 16.05% Dividend Growth Rate 3 year = 11.93% 5 year = 9.62% 10 year = 15.81% Return on Equity = 23.40% The Technicals The technicals today are not as good as they were just a week ago. The MACD on the daily chart is exactly like I like to see it. It's below the zero line and moving up. The ADX lines just crossed over each other demonstrating that the upward pressure is greater than the downward pressure. Also, the RSI has risen to the 50 line. This is all the result of the overall market, and TROW in particular, moving up over the last few days. This makes the price of the company a little less desirable that just a few days ago and reinforces the fact that $77-$78 was a great price. The weekly chart also shows similar results and it can easily be seen that the price has bounced off the lower Bollinger Band.
Conclusion As a Dividend Growth Investor I can't really find anything I don't like about the fundamentals of this company. Revenues, earnings and dividends are growing nicely and consistently and the payout ratio is low enough to allow continued dividend increases at or above 12% annually. What I wish I had done was buy this stock a week ago when the stock was near the $77-$78 level. At that level the dividend increases to 2.28% and the one year capital gain increases to approximately 16.00% for a total one year return of 18.28%. This would be a 37% increase over the gain received by buying at today's price. My intent going forward is to accumulate a position in this stock when the price pulls back to the $77-$78 level. There's no doubt that this is a company I'd like to own for the long term. I just need to make sure I enter into this or any trade at the best possible price. Hopefully I'll be able to start accumulating this stock soon.  Good Luck and Good Trading.
10,000 people now read my website each month. That's a pretty humbling statistic.  10,000 Visitors Per Month I'm proud to announce that this website now receives over 10,000 visitors per month. To me that seems like a very large number of visitors per month for a very narrowly focused website like mine. So I'm truly amazed and grateful that so many people are interested enough in things that I'm also interested in that they took the time to find this site. When I created this site I never imagined that anyone would be interested in reading anything I would have to say. I just didn't think I was that interesting. My intent was to simply detail the methods and strategies I use when I'm investing in the stock markets. The website's purpose was truly for my own personal introspection and to document my investing philosophy. I created it so my kids would someday understand how I invest in case they ever became interested in investing themselves. I thought that if I wrote honestly about how I research the companies I invest in, others would find this site and we could have a nice conversation on investing. Little did I know that there are literally hundreds and thousands of investors just like myself who are trying to find financial freedom and security through investing in dividend growth stocks. To all those individual investors out there who are simply trying to perfect their trades, build wealth, and find that freedom and security we all are looking for, I wish you the best. Good Luck and Good Trading.
There's a lot of things I like about Lowe's Companies, Inc. It's a member of the Dividend Kings and it's been increasing it's dividend annually for the past 51 years. And while its dividend is relatively meager, it's growing at a phenomenal rate that, if held long term, will quickly outstrip a larger dividend growing at a slower rate.
The Company  Lowe’s Companies, Inc. (LOW) operates as a home improvement retailer. It offers products for maintenance, repair, remodeling, and home decorating. The company provides home improvement products under the categories of plumbing; appliances; tools and outdoor power equipment; lawn and garden; fashion electrical; lumber; seasonal living; paints; home fashions, storage, and cleaning; flooring; millwork; building materials; hardware; and cabinets and countertops. It also offers installation services through independent contractors in various product categories; repair services; and MyLowes, an online tool that manages, maintains, and enhances homes. The company serves homeowners and renters consisting of do-it-yourself (DIY) and do-it-for-me (DIFM); and commercial business customers comprising construction trade, and maintenance and repair organizations. As of November 20, 2013, it operated 1,825 stores in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The company also offers its products through online sites, such as Lowes.com, Lowes.ca, and ATGstores.com. Lowe’s Companies, Inc. was founded in 1946 and is based in Mooresville, North Carolina. (Daily Chart) (Weekly Chart) The Fundamentals The years 2008 and 2009 brought the most damaging economic recession to this country since the Great Depression of 1929. And most of that economic damage was caused in the financial arm of the housing markets. Bad mortgages turned into home foreclosures and just about every aspect of the housing industry was affected. There was no way a company like Lowe's could be unaffected by something like that. By looking at Lowe's revenues and earnings below it's evident that they were affected but it's incredibly surprising how well Lowe's managed the situation. It's obvious from the numbers that Lowe's increased discounts to maintain same store sales as well as possible store traffic and overall revenues. What did suffer, however, was earnings. Earnings fell in 2008 and hit a low in 2010. From there they have been steadily rising once again through 2014. Going forward from here, earnings are expected to increase by 23.36% in 2015 and 20.45% in 2016. This is actually an acceleration in earnings. With earnings increasing from 2010 forward, Lowe's 3 year dividend growth rate (DGR) of 18.36% and their 5 year DGR of 16.22% should remain intact. Estimates have dividends increasing to $0.97 in 2016 with the payout ratio remaining steady near 30%. This is obviously the result of great management, great cost control, and an improving housing market going forward. An unbeatable trifecta.
Below are a few other fundamentals I like to review when I research any company. Everything here looks good. I would prefer a P/E ratio below 20 and a dividend above 2.5% but a company whose earnings are currently growing at 14% (and going forward at a rate above 20%) and a dividend that's growing at a rate above 18% more than makes up for those shortcomings. Based on the current price of these shares ($46.31), this company will have a projected P/E ratio of 14.56 and a dividend of over 2% within 2 years. Information like that might just be the kind of information that convinces me to begin accumulating shares in this company for the long haul. Beta = 1.11 P/E Ratio = 21.64 PEG = 1.32 Current Dividend = $0.72 Current Yield = 1.55% ($0.72/$46.31) 1 Year Target = $54.05 1 Year Percentage Gain = 16.71% ($54.05/$46.31) Total 1 Year Return on Investment = 16.71% + 1.55% = 18.26% Revenue Growth Rate 3 year = 3.01% 5 year = 2.06% 10 year = 5.64% Earnings Growth Rate 3 year = 14.49% 5 year = 7.50% 10 year = 6.22% Dividend Growth Rate 3 year = 18.36% 5 year = 16.22% 10 year = 30.20% Return on Equity = 17.90% The Technicals Lowe's has sold off recently as can be seen in the daily and monthly charts below. This pullback in the price of the stock has been a result of the overall market pulling back and not anything unique to Lowe's itself. As a result I see this as an opportunity to accumulate a position in this company at a reasonable price. This may not be the exact bottom and there may be slightly more to the downside, but this looks like a great price level to start buying. It's in a territory where I perceive it to be inexpensive (relatively). The RSI is in oversold territory and the MACD is below the zero line, and this is where I like to see them when I'm looking for potential candidates. When the MACD and RSI finally do begin to turn up, it'll be the optimum point of entry.
Conclusion As a Dividend Growth Investor I really can't find anything I don't like about this company. I intend to start accumulating this stock as soon as funds become available. My intent is to buy and hold these shares for a lengthy amount of time, possibly years.
Good Luck and Good Trading. Today the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) closed down 266.96 points, or 1.62%. That's a pretty big number for most people. In fact, just 4 days ago the DJIA hit a high of 16,631 intraday and today it hit a low of 16,153 intraday. That's a difference of almost 500 points in the last 5 business days. That also puts the markets at a loss for the entire year so far. And that's not good. Whenever this happens I look back at an article I wrote on 01/29/2014 titled "When Dividend Growth Guys Get Excited". That assessment is as true today as it was on the day it was published.
Dividend Growth Investors (DGI) see a falling price as an increasing yield. The more prices fall, the higher their yield becomes. Assuming the market fall is due to some external event rather than a change in the inherent ability of the underlying companies to produce future revenues and earnings, stocks become a real buy. A real opportunity. And that excites Dividend Growth Investors.
Others interested only in capital gains interpret things in an exact opposite manner. They see their gains evaporating due to the apparent short sellers. They see their wealth deteriorating quickly. And all of this is true for every investor. DGI guys just interpret the facts differently. DGI guys don't depend on the stock price for confirmation of their buying decision. DGI guys rely on quarterly and annual reports for confirmation. Regardless of what the stock price is doing, DGI guys remain confident as long as revenue, earnings and, more importantly, dividend payments keep increasing. It's just their way of looking at the markets and their unique way of reacting to market changes.
So if you're a Dividend Growth Investor, stop worrying about the markets and get excited. Your stocks are on sale!
Whenever I envision my life as a retiree (someday), I see myself living a comfortable life with no worries. A life where a retirement check comes in each month with an amount that's in excess of all those bills that also arrive each month.  Photo by Donald and Kathy Weigand It's a life of financial freedom and security. A life based upon the freedom provided by that constant monthly flow of income. And I think most people feel exactly the same. That's why most people talk about their company retirement programs, their social security payments, or their annuity-based IRA. It's that dream of never having to work again, but at the same time receiving a monthly check to cover all their bills and more. It's a great dream. And some of the best people in the world are living that dream today. All of those sources of income are great but there's one additional source that can be very beneficial to the average investor, and that's the result of Dividend Growth Investing. It's the idea of buying stock in companies that pay monthly or quarterly dividends virtually forever. And the idea behind Dividend Growth Investing is finding those companies that will not only pay a dividend but will increase those dividends annually for years into the future. For me that means heading over to the list of Dividend Aristocrats and Dividend Kings. Those are two great places (for me, at least) to start because those lists include companies that have been paying and increasing dividends continually for 25 and 50 years, respectively.  This idea of receiving a constant, steady and predictable stream of income on a regular basis is not only what dividend growth investing is all about, it's what retirement is all about also. Dividend Growth Investing, as a minimum, can be a great addition to anyone's company earned retirement system, and may, if adequately supported during an investor's life, can be a main provider of that financial freedom and security so often envied and sought after by everyone wishing to retire.
This is exactly why Dividend Growth Investing is so important to anyone thinking about retirement. Risking everything on a monthly basis in order to capture the gains of a moving market is not an idea that most of us have when we think of retiring. Acquiring large capitalization companies, however, that pay increasing dividends can produce exactly the kind of retirement that everyone always dreams about. It's an idea worth thinking about. |
