GES at 3.03% a lower yield than I am looking for. I do like their record of increasing their dividends. It is nice to get paid while you wait for LT cap gains.

Oops re div history. I was looking at GIS instead of GES. It looks like they have paid a couple of special div's.
And I was going to warn you about special dividends when looking at stocks, a few of my closely held companies moved dividends from January 2013 to December 2012 to lessen the taxes on shareholders.
