I2, my idea re AT&T is to hold on to my losing position, collect the dividend, and see how or whether T's acquisitions help them, especially as T uses its Adworks to target customers. If stock drops nearer to low's I might add a bit. This seems to be a risky stock though. Although many buy it primarily for its dividend and history of dividend increases, it looks to some who've studied the financials that T pro forma cash flow amount places not only dividend increases, but also the dividend itself, at risk. T , with its upcoming acquisition, will apparently be burdened with an enormous amount of debt. Upshot is that I suspect this stock should be avoided by most. For me with only a few shares within a diversified portfolio, I'll stay with it for a while longer to see what develops.
