Churchill Downs Dividend History

​My Strategy

My strategy for shares of Churchill Downs is to continue to add to the position I already have during any pullback in the price of the shares. There's no doubt that these shares are expensive but they have been worth buying and holding in the past. These shares have been very good to me over the years and I expect they will continue to increase well into the future.

​Therefore, I will add to my position on any pullbacks while continuing to reinvest the dividends and any funds received from the sale of options.

    I am an Individual Investor with specific interest in long term growth and then enhancing my returns with income from dividends and derivatives. I don't recommend stocks to anyone (it's a good way to lose friends) and no one reading this should misinterpret my blog as a recommendation for any type of investment. I am writing this solely for myself and my kids.
