Recent Buy - T


Today I added to my T position.

  • T: 100 shares @ $27.42 --- Yield  7.44%


Total capital invested is $2742 and will add $204 to my yearly dividends.

This is the highest yield I can remember on T. It may have been higher during 2008-2009, but not too much as the stock price is nearing those levels.  While the Dow has essentially tripled during the last 10 years, T has basically remained unchanged. The thing to remember is is T has probably paid out $17-$18 in dividends during this period making it a rather stealthy investment.

I will add a few hundred more shares as the yield continues it's march to 10%.

Merry Christmas everyone!! 2019 is going to be OUTSTANDING!!

      It's happened to all of us. I have bought shares of T over 30 a few different times. Glad the dividend stocks are coming down in price so we can continue to build up the portfolio!!

    How crazy is this, right now?! I honestly can't believe some of these prices/yields myself. Just astonishing.
