Conclusion
Nothing has changed with my position in Realty Income. I have been letting the dividends reinvest and compound on themselves. The yield has actually went down some since their last increase. Until the share price comes down to my cost basis I will continue to hold the stock and let it continue to compound on itself. Once the price comes down though, I would love to be able to add onto this position.
Regardless of how large or small, I love all dividend increases. That is how we end up with More Dividends 😉
