A Few Current Thoughts
I often talk about being patient and playing the long-game when it comes to investing and building wealth.
A perfect reminder of this was when Sherwin Williams announced a 23% dividend increase last week.
Sherwin-Williams raises dividend by 23%, plans share buyback
This marks the 42 consecutive year of dividend growth for the company.
The best part about this story is there is absolutely nothing flashy or exciting.
They have a low dividend yield, they are headquartered in Cleveland, OH and there is literally a quote about how boring watching paint dry is.
At a time when the markets are fraught with euphoria and speculation, it's a good reminder that building your wealth slow and steady is a good thing.
Sometimes you just have to sit back and watch the paint dry.
Happy Wednesday!
