Dividend checks continue to get fatter in corporate America, as more companies jack up their distribution rates.
Readers of the Income Investor newsletter can certainly appreciate that kind of thinking. Let's take a closer look at some of the companies that inched their payouts higher this past week.
Let's start with Boeing
The aerospace giant's quarterly disbursements are ascending 5% to $0.44 a share. It may not seem like much of an increase, but it's the first time Boeing has jacked up its yield since 2008.

Pfizer's
