I have to imagine that deep inside, hidden far, far below the surface where any mere mortal has no chance of witnessing the event, Warren Buffet does in fact have a bathroom where he wipes his behind with hundred dollar bills.

When I bought RTN it was yielding almost 4%. Despite them raising the dividends double-digit percentages ever since I bought it, it's still only yielding 2.4% and a mid-teens P/E with this bump. Amazing.

I am not sure that is what it means. The most recent dividend increase was delcared in December, 2014, went ex-div in December, 2014 and was paid in January, 2015. A dividend increase in 2016 would maintain the streak.

I'm holding GE and plan to continue holding it.
