*Although Monsanto (MON) isn't a Dividend Achiever, we feel that it has a good potential of becoming one.
Out of this week's list is Pitney Bowes (PBI) which rose 6.8% in one week and raised its dividend from 36 cents to 36.5 cents, an increase of 1.3%.
Back on the list are Piedmont Nat Gas (PNY), San Jose Water (SJW), and SuperValu (SVU). - Art
