Last 5 years returns

WTRG TR 9.22% Avg per year 1.78% with dividends reinvested

AWK TR 0.20% Avg per year 0.04% with dividends reinvested.

That 3.3% dividend doesn't look enticing with this returns.

Sold WTRG in in 3 of 4 accounts. Held in taxable - it’s a short term gain there and no short term losses currently to offset it. All three accounts were successful with 20+% gains in the short term not including dividends. Purchased more ARTNA with the proceeds to keep it in the water Utes category. Higher yield also at 3.65%

Holy Smokes!! So now I'll have to look for another water utility...maybe. Currently holding AWR, AWK, and WTRG....for a little while....

I'll probably keep it rather than sell and let the AWK position get bigger.

That means I can start adding more to AWR.
