Conclusion
Southern Company has had a place in this portfolio for many years now. I have no intentions of ever selling the position. I would love to build upon it over time.
This is my only utility company that I own. So while I do not have alot of my portfolio allocated to utilities, I would love to grow this allocation over time.
Regardless of how large or small, I love all dividend increases. That is how we end up with More Dividends 😉
