However, unfortunately for me, the dividends have remained the same since. But with the recent drop in price, I figured I would add more to my current holding and average down my positions. The current yield is: 4.10%. <br /><br />As for ARTNA, it has 19 consecutive years with dividend increases and has raised its dividend twice this past year (on 9/17/13 and 4/4/14). Currently yield is: 3.9%. <br /><br />Best Wishes!!

Thanks for stopping by and for the comment. <br /><br />As for ARTNA, here are a few reasons why I picked it up: The stock was near its 52-week low, has a 3.9% yield, company not in debt (operates with approx. 5mil positive cash flow), and the main reasons: has 19 consecutive years with dividend increases and has raised its dividend twice this past year (on 9/17/13 and 4/4/14). <br /><br />Here are a couple of things you should also know: it is not a very large company, the P/E is currently above 20, and the payout ratio is a high at 86%.<br /><br />It's been hard finding value out there and although there is some risk associated with ARTNA, I believe it was a calculated risk worth taking.<br /><br />Best Wishes and continued success on your personal journey!

May was a slow month, but I'm betting that you're looking forward to June since that's usually a big payout month for dividend investors. :)FI Fighterhttp://www.fifighter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893129263573703047.post-31336730321097450262014-06-03T16:24:55.342-07:002014-06-03T16:24:55.342-07:00DM - Thanks, I'm pretty happy with both the sa...DM - Thanks, I'm pretty happy with both the sales and purchases that I have made this past month.

And all should do well over the next 5-10 years and possibly beyond. Glad to have you on board as a fellow shareholder! <br /><br />Keep up the great work. <br /><br />Best wishes.

I do take pride in each and every one of my post and try to write articles that are detailed but yet easy to read. <br /><br />As you already know, its tough to find value out there with the market at all time highs but T, KMI, AFL appear to be nice value plays at the moment. Depending on where they go in the upcoming days, I may add more to my holdings. <br /><br />Best wishes!

I cant wait to add T and KMI and AFL. They seem to be rewarding you with great dividends.
