Hello everyone, I hope all is well with you. Today I wanted to share with you a dividend increase I received this month. I’m a little late in posting this as the increase was announced way back on March 3rd. Back in January I started a position in General Dynamics and it’s nice to get a raise so quickly into my investment. This raise is the 24th consecutive year General Dynamic has raised it’s dividend. This year the increase is 8.2% and the quarterly payment will jump to $1.19 per share up from $1.10.
I currently own 40 shares of the company, and so with this news my quarterly income will increase by $3.60 and annually by $14.40.

I’ve almost hit three figures with these dividend increases. Johnson & Johnson should be my next company to announce an increase here shortly and they should boost be over the $100 mark.
If you own General Dynamics congratulations on the raise.
Thanks
Matthew

Out of curiosity, how come you don’t own stocks like KO or O? Just two examples that came to mind. I suppose what I’m really asking is if you could please talk about why you picked the stocks listed above?
