Well Fargo & Company (WFC) has produced some nice returns over the past 25 years. A $5,000 investment at the beginning of 1985 would have been worth over $335,000 at the end of 2011. Before last year, Wells Fargo has been able to consistently raise its dividends at least once a year (adjusted for splits) resulting in some nice investment returns. Unfortunately, in 2010 Wells Fargo slashed its dividend from $0.34 per quarter to $0.05 per quarter (in 2011 it was increased back to $0.12 per quarter).
