As per usual we've had a few steady days with Luke and then a few rocky days. Hopefully the down days will start to be less frequent as we give him better nutrition but his body is so sensitive to fluid balance that small changes for most babies can be huge changes for him. Also I should be heading back to work sometime this week which is a bummer but the good thing is that it means Luke is doing better and also that I should be able to be a bit more consistent with writing.
There's so much to like about dividend growth investing. For starters even though I haven't been working or actively investing this past 1-2 weeks that doesn't mean the companies I own haven't taken breaks with me. They're still out there searching for ways to increase their product and service sales whether I'm watching over them or not. And even better is when the revenue increases lead to profit increases which lead to dividend increases. Target Corporation did just that for me this past week with a 7.7% dividend increase. I don't know about you but I don't regularly get raises like that from my employer. In other portfolio news, the 2:1 stock split for Ross Stores (Full Analysis Here) went through this week so I'm now a proud owner of 56 shares instead of 28.
