No problem Bob. I have way too many positions but I like to be well diversified and own mainly dividend growers. Try to spread out positions between higher yielders like T and some that are growing very fast but have a very low yield. However, usually want them to be growing the dividend at a faster pace. Hind sight is always 20-20. Kind of like sports, best to have more winners than losers. I am bad about trimming positions when they run but have been doing more in my IRA. Some of the call premiums are too good to pass up. I generally stop writing calls or puts when the yield enough to not give a return commiserate with the risk. I have some IBM at a much higher price than you. I got in before Warren but he got out. I used to have consultants come in to make presentations on projects. Some firms would send 2 people and knock it out of the park ACN was really good. IBM would send in 10-15 people and I was left scratching my head.
