Going in to this purchase I was specifically looking for a stock that has a dividend payout in the month of November (Feb,May,Aug,Nov). Which narrowed down my screening results considerably. On top of that some of the large cap stocks for that month like PG and CLX just look expensive in comparison. I like the fact that the dividend growth has been growing faster lately than it has historically. The last dividend increase was a 5% hike which isn't super but it's a good sign of things to come. With a 3.9% yield and 5% dividend growth WGL is under the chowder rule, however the chowder rule is only one of the criteria I consider when screening stocks. Honestly these days as the markets continue to rise it's very difficult to find any stocks that meet all of my screening criteria. WGL was close so it was my pick for this weeks purchase.
