My first (and only) purchase was in November 2011, before I had fully transitioned to dividend growth investing. I had been learning how to identify good dividend growth stocks and noticed ITW was a Dividend Champion and very undervalued at the time. Fast forward to now and who would have thought that it would be the stock with my largest (percentage-wise) unrealized capital gain?<br /><br />I also wish I had bought more UNP, but at the time I was strongly favoring NSC among the railroads. However, it's better to have a small position in a great stock than no position at all.Dividend Growth Machinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304571550687216360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800029095243726187.post-50038542913257580982013-08-02T20:31:23.021-04:002013-08-02T20:31:23.021-04:00DGM,

I love it. <br /><br />Best wishes!Dividend Mantrahttp://www.dividendmantra.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800029095243726187.post-38738439484350313812013-08-02T17:22:50.959-04:002013-08-02T17:22:50.959-04:00Nice!

Those shares have certainly treated you well, same with ITW. It's amazing you already have a 3% YOC with UNP. I may need to start looking at lower yielding opportunities.
