GE Raises Dividend 16%

I have been waiting for this one all month and GE did not fail to disappoint.  Ive been a long term shareholder and went through the dark days of of 2008-2009 including the dividend cut.

Since then, GE has increased its dividend 6 times- from 10 cents to .12 (GE raises dividend 20%) to .14 to .15 to .17 to .19 and now to 22 cents.

This will be my final dividend increase of the year and adding $107 to my annual dividend income.
