JULY 2020 DIVIDEND INCREASES - UPDATE!!

Well, this will be a short post.  Here goes. 

After going nutzo about no increases or decreases, I discovered two companies that increased the dividend.   So there goes that rant. 

But I do love the eggs, they will stay.

Got a 9.8% gain from American States Water.   Not a very popular one to won by div growth investors because of the low yield.  But over time (6 years now), I have a 3.45% yield thanks to increases like the one we got this month. 

Everyone needs water and electricity.  Especially in a dry place like California.   Owning AWR is a no brainer for me.

I also got a nice increase form UL, Unilever. 

I guarantee you, you have a Unilever product in your home.  Dove soap, Lipton, Hellmans/Best Foods, Klondike, Popsicle, Jif, Red Rose, All, Axe, Q-Tips, Ponds, Dollar Shave Club, Vaseline,

 They also are the world's largest ice cream manufacturers owning Ben & Jerrys', Breyers, Klondike, and a bunch of brands in Europe. 

UL is solid to own in my opinion.
