Today I decided to open a position in the food giant Kraft. I purchased 21 shares @ $52.74. I've had Kraft on a short list of potential buys and selected it for one of my monthly purchases. Typically I try to invest in stocks with a history of dividend growth over many years but I think Kraft has the makings of a future dividend champion. This purchase has pushed me past the $50,000 portfolio mark for the first time as well.
