  1. Thank you for sharing the information. Glad that I am holding most of the stocks you have. I am a big fan of dividend growth investing. Hope to retire early with the income from the dividends.

  2. These are some good stocks. I have some life insurers, too. I think they will do better when interest rates rise, but that may not be for several YEARS yet.
