Among Quotes
Given the historically slow pace of change for dividends, the growth in dividend payers since January 2003 has been remarkable. Unlike the prior 20 years when the number of paying issues actually declined by 25%, since the start of 2003 the number of paying issues within the S&P 500 issues has risen by 10% to 386. For the remainder of 2006, we expect a continuation in both dividend increases and initiations among S&P 500 constituents, resulting in another double-digit gain in dividend payments.

Allowing Quotes

Each location operates independently allowing us to factor the local environment and dynamics into our decisions, unlike others who make decisions from a distance and don't consider those factors. It brings a new level of customer service into play.
