PFE is like T. You only buy it for the dividend not for growth. And the vaccines are not going to be a big money maker for them. I would much rather own bios with growth a deep a pipeline. Stocks like GILD and PFE will frustrate you.
I guess you're right... Well I just have 100 shares of it @ 32.96 and have got 2 dividends till date... Will let it sit and just DRIP and go from there :-)

I wouldn't make it a core position but you might be OK given your good entry price. I have owned PFE in two accounts since it was a market darling around 1995. I haven't even looked at my wife's Roth for years. I should go see how many share she has DRIPPed. It's been a frustrating stock for sure. As you know they just spun off the slowest part of their business. They stated they were not going to price gouge the Covid VAX. Trump would have thrown the Defense Act down on them hard and the PR would have been horrible. I expect they will make earnings for the foreseeable future as they will sell this worldwide and they got a nice head start on the serious competition. I sold PFE puts and calls all year and it been a good one this year as I built it to 500 shares. I am gradually lightening up now as a few of the call strikes hit. I'll likely keep some. It would be just my luck I dump it all and it runs to 50 finally.

I like that move. BA run was a gift a year ahead of schedule and LMT prints money for the next decade even if the defense budget were trimmed.
Sold a new PFE put. Got called out of a few hundred shares a couple bucks higher recently. Sold my VTRS spin off shares today. That might actually be a decent income stock but I have too many positions.
Sold a CVS put. Same deal as PFE, IMO the downside risk is capped with Covid.
Sold another MSFT put. I am pushing my luck being way deep in MSFT soon if it dips hard but I am comfortable enough with that outcome.

I like these picks. I own FCX around $13.80. I think it goes to $30. Nice uptrend now. I was actually thinking of adding more as I'm 12 shares away from a full position lol
AA you have a nice dip to get in today. As economic activity world wide increases and millions get vaccines ? the demand for aluminum will rise. I still remember when this was like $7-8 lol
BEP nice and steady

I loaded up on FCX around $10 very early in the year. Also sold it well before $20 so don't confuse this post with bragging lol. FCX is one of the better cyclical metals stocks. I'll catch it on the next hard dip. Might be years but my watchlist is free.

You better load up again on FCX. There isn't no hard dip coming. Once it got under $24 today that was the dip
Come on how is your watchlist at 0 and mine is at 243?? That doesn't add up

Sold LLY in one of my accounts. Might regret it but I got lucky and caught the bottom. Took it for a 40+ point ride in six weeks. I'll regroup and decide if I want to add some back later.
