Disappointed in the Clorox raise. Since I already own it I won't be selling it since it is still raising the dividend. I just won't be adding any more shares for a while. Guess they can't all be 10% raisers.

Yeah, after sleeping on it, I'm not quite as down as I was last night. Its on my short list for replacement if I find a better idea, but as of now I will continue to hold.

ROST paid $0.20 last quarter as well. Its a raise over last year but not a newly announced one. It's already shown on the spreadsheet from 2/27/14.

Goes to show what happens when you don't check first. SA's dividend announcements are getting problematic. That's the 3rd or 4th time I've seen something like that.

Sure glad I was patient on Deere!
