With a Little Help from My Friends
June proved to be a surprising month, not only in terms of the number of promotions from one category to another, but also in terms of additions to the Dividend Champions "universe." The newest Champion - Universal Health Realty Trust (UHT) - was not expected to join that list until next year. On June 7, the company announced a modest half-cent increase in its quarterly rate, to 61.5� per share, prompting me to update its streak of increases from 23 to 24 years.
