But in the end I don't really care where that EPS boost comes from, as long as it comes. 
It will keep coming as long as the economy is booming, and that should have legs into 2022. This is why they get heat from Democrats. Cry their eyes out about wage increases while they enrich us, but especially the corporate officers. They aren't growing earnings 10% forever and that makes a 35% div increase not likely. 10% should be a lock for a year or two and that gets LOW closer to a decent div on the next dip, whenever that is. They were paying an APPL div and they aren't APPL.
Nice arguing with you guys. What else you LOW shills got today?

Sold out of my LYB a couple months ago. Have learned to sell these cyclical basic materials companies when they fly high. When the crashes happen, they can lose 50%+ of their value in a matter of days, and dividends get eliminated quickly. There are only a handful of aristocrats in the materials sector (like NUE and SON). Margins are tiny, and even the smallest flap of a butterfly's wings halfway around the world can tank their business quickly. Prior to raising its dividend 11 years in a row, Lyondell filed for bankruptcy.

I agree with Otter. If there is anything harder to invest in than materials stocks 100% dependent on commodities and a hot economy, I don't know what it is. You have to buy them when nobody wants them and start selling when it looks like they will go higher forever. Waiting it out if you miss the timing can be painfully long and some end up going insolvent of nearly so. When I get the urge to buy them I am usually more than a year early. I am batting about 50% on oil, gold, copper, lumber, chemicals. It took a long time to get this good. (heavy sarcasm lol, that is nowhere near good enough).

A thread on commodity based stocks wouldn't be a terrible idea. I'm sure some would participate. I haven't researched the stock enough to know if it is an emergency sell but do be careful with anything commodity based because you are likely late to the party for most of them. Tiny positions are a good way to learn. Find something that pays a dividend, hold it a long time and learn. You'll pay attention if you are invested a little. Treat it like a small swing trade that can't hurt you because it is small.
Almost everything I have touched commodity based turned out well for the past year. Not because I am all that skilled. It was just very likely the right time for practically all of them.

Wow that's quite a jump for Target! What an awesome stock! Why I haven't doubled down on my initial investment is beyond me.
