Stock Buy $KMI
Probably one of the most hated ex-dividend growth stock of our time, Kinder Morgan Inc. (KMI) has “kindered” way too many dividend growth investors in the past. I know, call me crazy. But nevertheless, I think the future is now brighter than ever. The company/stock has stabilized on a good uptrend, out of the oil crash and actually fundaments and projects are looking good. Plus, the recent 60% dividend increase showed a strong commitment to the shareholders, which more increases coming. I am long on KMI.

I agree that they have better days going forward. However, I hope the dividend growth train isn’t as strong as it was in the past, and should be in that modest 5-10% arena, to protect payments on debt, as well as other expenses that may go unplanned. Would you agree?

Yeah, I hope management and and the Chairman learned their lesson with their over-leveraged dealmaking. The shit show is definitely in the past as the horizon looks clear for takeoff.
Good hearing from you.
