Current Stock Position

2022 wmt dividend increase

Walmart is a great company. I have been holding this stock for many years now. I have no intentions of ever selling it and would actually love to add onto the position some day.

When I originally bought this stock everyone was saying that Amazon was going to shut Walmart down. I knew that was just hype so I gladly bought the stock. I have been holding it for years and have been reaping the benefits of the dividends as well as the growth in the share price that the company has seen over the past few years.

I will continue to be a patient investor until the next buying opportunity comes around.

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 Walmart? 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!
