Disney was a surprise to me. They also increased their dividend by 50%. Disney Raises Dividend Most in 20 Years bloomberg.com Walt Disney Co. (DIS), owner of the namesake theme parks and ESPN sports network, increased its annual dividend by 50 percent, the most in at least 20 years, following record sales and profit. ----------------------------------------------- EKS

After exactly 3 calender months (according to his original target), the 10 stock portfolio, initially put together by Sergio H, has shown an overall gain of 15.64%. Not bad, I would have thought, in current market conditions. CAT eventually came out tops with a gain of 28.6%, closely followed by DIS (Disney) at 25.4%. Only one stock showed a loss over the period, and that was AA (Alcoa). If my memory serves me correctly, when the portfolio was first presented at "Value Investing", Clownbuck chose AA as his choice for the better performer. If you read this post, Clownbuck, are there any comments you'd make regarding AA's performance in the last 3 months, .... and possibly going forward ?
