Appreciate the reply, Alchemist--and maverick61, too. I am giving a rec of thanks to thoughtful responders. Sure, it's s good problem to have, but I find it a lot easier to sell a stock I have lost faith in, with a declining price, even when the dividend growth (at the time) was meeting my criteria, albeit just barely (KHC). When tied-for-my-largest-position LMT fell nearly 30% in 2018, I barely noticed. I expected a 10% dividend increase and got just that. I saw no fundamental problems. So, I could handle a 20%-30% drop in CLX if the dividend kept growing nicely. I think the difference this time is that the price appreciation may be "unwarranted." May be. I suspect you both know and understand this, but thanks again for your thoughts. Hopefully, I'll get more. In the meanwhile: "Sometimes I sits and thinks and sometimes I just sits."
