Dividend Increase - Kinder Morgan, Inc. (KMI)
Yesterday, the Board of Directors for Kinder Morgan, Inc (KMI) announced an increase in the quarterly dividend from $0.36 to $0.37 per share.

I'm not worried about the low increase this time because the Board has shown a willingness to raise the dividend in most quarters. They've only had one quarter where the dividend wasn't increased in their short history as a publicly traded company.
