Wow, it seems like I just bought Unilever and here I am again purchasing another consumer giant General Mills (GIS). General Mills really needs no introduction if your like me and grew up eating Cheerios and Trix cereal. While I enjoy their cereals in the morning I really love their dividend more. Sporting a juicy dividend that's over 3% and impressive dividend growth over the past 10 years making it a dividend champion. GIS has a payout ratio around 60% which leaves some room for growth and the PE ratio is a bit over 19 but forward PE is 16.80 which is more inline with it's peers.
I purchased 23 shares of GIS at $50.89
