Reply DeleteI own TGT and I'm happy to be collecting a little more in dividends after the 3.33% raise this week!
All the best and happy investing!
Thanks! I designed it myself :). I thought it turned out great. And that's a great pick. It got hit hard after Amazon announced the purchase of Whole Foods. Hope you bought in on that dip!
DeleteI just bought another 20 shares today of Target with the dip. I'm hoping it continues to go up.
Reply DeleteI think it's a pretty safe investment. I think the TGT and Whole Foods have very different clientele and I only expect a short hit with Amazon's planned purchase.
