I believe DGI is a strategy for long-term investors and reluctant sellers.

There are plenty of reasons for investors to consider owning it. Its reliable, predictable, growing dividend is one of them.

As an investor, I want to own high-quality companies with proven business models that will create wealth, grow dividends and pave the way for financial independence.

This marks the third time we’ve bought it. To say I’m pleased with how the first two purchases worked out would be one of the understatements of the year, as it’s crushed the overall market.
