I own 50 shares of GD at an average cost basis of $90.91 per share. Following this increase, my yield on cost
is 7.00%. (The stock's forward yield is 1.83% at $348.08 per share).
Since I opened my position in March 2013, the stock has delivered a total return of 333%, including $2,300.30 in dividends.
That's a superb annualized rate of return of 15.1%!
GD became DivGro's 1st Home Run stock in October 2014 when it doubled my original capital
outlay.
