Yes, GIS fit my criteria for a recovery company and I own it. It was yielding more than 3% at the time of my purchase, has raised dividends for 6 consecutive years and over the past 5 years have raised the dividend by a compounded annual growth rate of 9.81%

The dividend is well covered by earnings and the payout ratio has only been 44%, so there's room to continue growing the dividend.

MLP's getting a boost on CNBC....must be time to sell:)

taxes on divi's are going higher, rates are staying low, thus MLP's are good investment. 80% of annual distribution is tax deferred.

Even after great run-up, they are long-lived assets, and have average of 6.5%, thus they are still a desirable asset class and institutional ownership is increasing.
