Gráfica preciosa, en máximos.

23 años incrementando dividendos, RPD del 1.80% a cotización actual y crecimientos del dividendo por encima del 10%: DGR1=10,3%, DGR3=13,3%, DGR5=16,2% y DGR10=14,7%.

Yo la tengo hace tiempo en el radar, si la rpd subiera del 2% me lo plantearía.
Es un ejemplo perfecto de monopolio de facto.
La única línea que une la costa este, el Golfo de México y Chicago con Prince Rupert.
Yo no tenía idea de la existencia de este puerto, pero resulta que supone dos días menos de navegación desde Asia que la costa oeste de USA, por lo que es mucho más ventajoso llegar ahí y alcanzar el hub de Chicago en tren.
