>>> I find 5 year CAGR a good starting point, but like to check that the most recent raise was in the same vein. <<<

I agree! I'd prefer to see them as close as possible. I even have a list around here with 10 yr CAGR's on the Aristocrats and Achievers and now try to insure they are consistent.

I was really leaning toward buying cinf a few week ago but when I saw the short interest it made me pause. Using the link from a few posts back

dailyfinance.com

It has a daily avg. volume of 1.12M shares and the short interest is 12.8M shares. I'm not a sophisticated investor that seems like a lot. PG & JNJ run about 3 days to cover.
