I think they are doing some nice initiatives to grow the business, but this is two pathetic increases in a row for a company that yields just 2.3%. Tempted to move on to greener pastures here...

Little better announcement from Coke!
The Board of Directors of The Coca-Cola Company today approved the Company's 53rd consecutive annual dividend increase, raising the quarterly dividend 8 percent from 30.5 cents to 33 cents per common share. This is equivalent to an annual dividend of $1.32 per share, up from $1.22 per share in 2014. The first quarterly dividend is payable April 1, 2015, to shareowners of record as of March 16, 2015. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/board-dir...00605.html

I'm sitting on a YOC* of 6.66% and the stock has doubled since the divestiture so I shouldn't complain.

Much nicer.  Wife will be happy with this. More than I was expecting with the myriad of issues they're facing.* I calculate YOC including reinvested dividends because that's more of my cash invested.

I really should pay more attention to that but since I have no plans to trade it in the foreseeable future, I just throw the divvies in with the pile and move forward. I guess if they only bumped it 1% or so I'd go back and look and see the error of my ways. Right now, I'm reading other annual reports from companies not in my portfolio. And bad me; I really should go look at your spreadsheet more often.

I've been falling behind in keeping it updated. Too many irons in the fire here!
