Mo just reported 1.19 EPS for q3...They got burned by the vaping craze, but are recovering well. It is good to have some telecom exposure..so perhaps FCOM or FIVG, an etf focussed on 5G. PM isn't looking bad either. Indonesia might be worth more than the US Market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go figure .....different systems different scores ....That's why doing your own research is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AT&T is a solid stock and I'm in it for the long term (at least as long as I live) Yes. dollar cost averaging is a good technique if you are young... but I might add that diversity is important too... even the biggest and best companies making buggy whips ran into problems... And when you get as old as I am, or before, I hope you enjoy some of the money yourself, while still alive... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand J Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) I pay little attention to yield and dividend. The bulk of my investment is in index funds. Total return has be impressive especially in the last 10 years . See chart below: Vanguard S&P 500 Index, Vanguard Total Market Index, AT&T and GAB. Assuming dividend reinvested. GAB is not bad but did't beat the index funds. Good luck with AT&T. Edited October 30, 2020 by Thailand J 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moontang Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I agree with the buggy whip comments. I did well with the Verizon preferred shares..VZA. Will be interesting to see what 5g does to the broadband cartel. And Musk's Starling might make things interesting, too. Sears, Kodak, Bethlehem Steel...some great hold forever (former) DOW components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MO has done close to twice as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
