Costco (COST) increased their dividend today. The increase was 14% - sweet!
While COST has a low current dividend yield, it sure has been "moving on up" for the last several years. Even better are the special dividends they provide.
Earlier this year, anything that was associated with retail got pounded. Why? Well, of course, Amazon was taking over the world! Has it happened? No. Will it happen. Probably not.
