Thanks, tip it again...bot PCG since 1985 at an average of $21, now at $47 With a 431% ROI and a current divvy at 3.9% I am still holding. During those periods when buy and hold was more the norm, utilities were attractive buys and there has been no reason to sell while reinvesting divvys and acquiring growing share value. Heck, I've held T since the 70's through all of the splits and spin offs and have piled up a lot of value and a current divvy at 4.8%. Since a chunk of my and wifes investments are in retirement deferred accounts I avoid the tax man until RMD kicks in. I have plenty of short term holds and my share of losers too, but basically don't churn my portfolios unless I can clearly identify solid chart or fundamental reasons to sell. Analysts recommendations alone merely peak my evaluation mode of both my holds and buy portfolios. Divvy investing has become a more recent trend, but i have been doing it for more years than I can remember.
