    Wow, big yield on WES! How sustainable do you think that is? Seems to have been pretty solid historically too? Good short-list of companies to work through further for the US dividend investors...

      WES is a MLP which develops and operates midstream energy assets. Their payout ratio is definitely lower than the industry standard. I guess it has the pitfalls of MLPs. But 10 years of dividend increase is awesome.

      Sometimes I wish I owned these stocks. Their performance has been stellar. Owning ETFs definitely has pitfalls, never able to pick up winners.

      KMB looks awesome! I was hoping we will see a drop this week (opportunity to add more). Seems like not happening. I don't foresee a drop in 2018. Starting 2019 there might be a pull back.

    Only company I own from this list is CINF. But any dividend increase is good to see. All great companies. Thanks for sharing the list.
