I own 100 ORCL shares at an average cost of $55 per share. ORCL's contribution to DivGro's projected annual dividend income will increase by $40 to $200. 

My yield on cost is now 3.64%.

Since opening my position in September 2019, the stock has generated a total return of 175%, including $720 in dividend income. That's a sensational annualized rate of return of 20.3%!

ORCL became DivGro's 45^th Home Run stock in June 2023, when the stock doubled my original capital outlay.
