I was tracking some different companies on my handy-dandy excel spreadsheet and 1 day I required the plunge and made the decision Colgate would be the recent addition and it has not let me down! About a month before their 2:1 stock split which occurred on 05/16/2013 I purchased the stock. What the heck is a stock split?

Colgate can be an amazing company with amazing management who cares about the development of the business and staying competitive.
