>>> if I didn't want more of the stock I would close out the position. <<< Great point Tom! I forgot to mention that. In the research I've done on the subject, it was suggested that a successful dividend growth strategy encompasses companies you want to own even when the price goes higher. If you're going to reinvest dividends, and that strategy has worked well for decades, then you can't always buy on the cheap. I assume we buy companies because we think they will perform in the future. And when they do, we don't want to own more? I never understood that concept. I understand buying good companies during market corrections, but if we hope to hold on to these companies and share in the profits, I'm assuming we want to own more of it as it continues to perform. Isn't that what the KO executive did this month? Anyway, I'm glad you brought that up.
