Thanks for the doing the work on Buffett selection criteria. Some of the stocks on that list
are utilities, that's why they carry low earnings as percent of revenue. I passed on 3M
because of its high price to book value which is another Buffett criteria. Too bad I passed
as they reported better than expected earnings.

The following is a list of stocks that have increased dividends for at least 40 consecutive
years but less than 50. At lease one is a current Buffett holding. Only one is near 52 week
low while several hit a new 52 week high today. I have not done any homework on any stocks
on this list, but will be and I'll post if I find anything worth sharing.
