Stock Buy $T
With the recent drama going around with AT&T, Inc. (T) regarding the ongoing acquisition of Time Warner, a perfect catalyst was created for this very recent purchase of additional shares of one of my favorite companies in the good old Stock Market. This is exactly what I look for when acquiring a small fraction of a great business, some sort of news, either internal or external to create a golden acquisition opportunities where I can buy at a much bigger discount and essentially lock into a great business with a reasonable margin of safety. This is what Dividend Growth Investing is, building an income that is reliable, predictable and increasing.

DV, T is a core holding in my portfolio. Great dividend yield. Low, but steady dividend growth as you indicate. Good buy. Tom
Glad to hear it Tom. Weighing in at 4.5% of my portfolio T is also one of my main core holdings as well. Took advantage of beautiful volatility when there was fear in the news and look at us now, locked in a very nice yield for the longterm.
Best wishes!
Good buy, I just added some myself not long ago. They just raised the dividend yet again. Another hold forever stock.
