Company Name	Symbol	Industry	No. Years	Dividend Yield	Sector	EPS% Payout

Flowers Foods	FLO	Food Processing	15	4.23	Consumer Staples	72.73

Qualcomm fell off the list but the remaining are mostly the same as the past few months.  I am bummed I didn't jump on it last month before some rumor of a merger caused the share price to spike.  Instead I jumped on the Flowers Foods (FLO) bandwagon last month purchasing 32 shares @ $15.5375.  This purchase will increase my forward dividends by $20.48.  Plus since it is part of my IRA those dividends are tax free and will be reinvested into another dividend growth stock.

Below is the motif I created to track how this month's top ten does over time.  It is always fun to see how my past screens are doing (and so far so good).

 

Happy investing!
