KBR is still one of my favorites. That said, I hold it in a taxable account and for tax reasons (capturing some of the long term cap gains in this tax year-won't pay federal tax on the gains) I sold 122 sh last week for a 178% gain. Still holding 400+ shares and may buy back the shares sold. I came into retirement last year with enough cash (plus social security) to cover my expenses for a few years and not touch investment accounts at all. So my income is basically composed of dividends and SS. Plan is to fill the income difference up to max $47K with long term cap gains which are tax free(along with qualified divys) if I keep under that $47K income mark. Same plan for next year. Not huge numbers but figure over the 2 years I can take almost $40K in longterm cap gains tax free. Every bit helps <g>.

For the dividend(5.8%), started a position in PFE this morning @ 28.55. I think it's lower priced now than when I owned it a number of years ago. Taxable account so wanted a qualified divy in that account.

KBR reports earnings next week and they do have a history of giving good honest guidance to the analysts. with 135 M shares outstanding and 97% owned by institutions,1.3% insider ownership there isn't a lot of free trading stock out there. This is one company I would love to see do a stock split of some type and get some more stock out there,wishful thinking I reckon :) New high yesterday, triple top breakout... we'll see Wednesday.
