#135 RE: Enterprising Investor #134

I've owned HBAN since I was born. Used to be an awesome company with increased dividends and/or splits every year, however in recent years it has really fallen off. The dividend is slowly coming back though.

When I first started investing regularly I did some research looking for stocks with P/E's under 16 I think it was. Annually raising dividends. And low debt ratio. Came up with 13 stocks. Wish I had kept that list although many of them have been consumed by other companies.
Some of the names I recall were
Gillette
Emerson Electric
Cummins Inc
Lincoln Electric
Walgreens

and others I can't think of at the moment. Anyway, should have just bought the 13 and quit investing, but greed factor kicks in. I keep saying $CMI is my set it and forget it stock, but keep buying and selling anyway. Same with $LECO
