The dividend is now more than double what it was before the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009 and I expect an increase later this year.

The company’s recent history is a big warning sign.

The company has plenty of cash flow to not only pay the dividend, but also raise it for a 16th consecutive year.

In short, set yourself up for success by investing now so that you have as long as possible to let time work its magic on your portfolio.
