Conclusion

Today, Target announced this dividend increase. The company has done great for me so far. I was able to start a position on the way down and I have been riding the stock on the way back up. If it were to drop below my cost basis It would be a stock that I would consider buying more of but I have no intentions of adding to this position at the current moment.

Regardless of how large or small, I love all dividend increases. That is how we end up with More Dividends 😉

Do you currently hold any stock in Target? What do you think of this dividend increase? Just let me know in the comments.

As always I look forward to reading all of your comments and questions, until then….. happy investing!
