ot Honestly these are meant to be LT holds. Much had to do with the point in time it seemed such a great entry point for first portion in. I can hold a decade+ if need be. But I didn't indicate to avoid 'mentally' locking in that mindset. If conditions warrant a trade is never off the table. At least as much powder still on the sidelines waiting for some kind of play. Your concept of the Intel dividend parroted exactly what I had told a co-worker yest.- so decided to follow my own advice. Because I have a rather sizable ST cap loss carryfoward from a very unpleasant drop in younger days of outlandish 'all in' positions with AMZN [yes quite painful to see a decade later all my reasons for owning it come to pass] I would rather not pay taxes on the divs and just go for cap gains, but getting zero on cash gets old and the marquee company doesn't hurt.
