rising utility dividend outperforms bond substitute

Southern Company (SO) is one of my most trusted holdings because it’s paying rising dividends (a recent 2.7% hike took it from about $3,300 to ~$3,400 per year) and has served as the portfolio’s “bond portion” with strong total returns versus bonds.
