10 Stocks Ramping Up Their Dividends [View article]
D4L,
I would note that Stryker (SYK) declared transitional dividends to move from annual to quarterly payments. As a result, they've increased for the second time this year and next year's increase is booked. Granted, yield is still 1% but it has grown 52% from 2008 to 2009 and another 20% to 2010.
Not a long history, but an interesting position if you can stomach the indictments (IMHO all medical sales are made with a nudge, nudge, wink, wink).
