Eric, it seems we seem to be on similar wavelengths lately and it's getting a little eerie.
I don't own CLX but it was high on my portfolio wishlist. I was waiting for a big enough dip. With the recent runup and Icahn's playing around with the stock, it's moved down considerably on my list. I think you made a good move.
I'm still holding AFL and as of right now I plan to continue but did take it off DRIP to redirect the cash to something else. Ameriprise I've never paid attention to. Probably won't look at it now either as I have several others that interest me right now which leads to ...
... TUP. I've been seriously looking at them for a couple months now but some other shiny things kept getting in the way. Now that I've sold LO (which I see above you did a month or so ago also -- see first sentence) and have some extra cash sitting in the account, I was looking at it a little closer. Can't fault your logic. The South American headwinds and higher oil prices (hence higher resin prices) kept giving me pause. I'll be thinking about TUP more frequently now provided it doesn't run back up again.

“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan
